the Lower Lias; and similar phenomena were noticed at 
Abberton. Here, as in the neighbourhood of Inkberrow, 
the results of “differential denudation” are well exempli- 
fed. At Abberton the Keuper Sandstone is exposed in 
the west bank of the lane, 250 yards west of the Church. 
It is, however, the change in the colour of the ground 
which indicates the position of the fault best.’ 
III.—The Eastern District. 
The eastern district has a maximum length, in a direct 
line, of about 10% miles, and a breadth of about 7 miles. 
No appreciable feature marks the line of junction of the 
Keuper and Rhetic Series between Weethley and a point 
three-quarters of a mile south-west of South Littleton; 
whilst the junction between the latter locality and 
Harvington is faulted. In this district, as in the western, 
when the Rhetic rocks come to be mapped, they will 
be found to occupy a very considerable area, especially in 
the diversified neighbourhood of Rous Lench, Church 
Lench, and Hob (or Abbot’s) Lench. The western limit 
of the district is marked by a steep escarpment, especially 
to the west of Sheriff's Lench, and owing partly to the 
position of the Avon, and partly to the Harvington- 
Littleton fault, an equally steep escarpment forms Cleeve 
and Marl Cliff Hills. 
The escarpment marking the junction of the Rheetic and 
Keuper Series commences about a mile east of Netherton 
(where there is an exposure of “Tea-green Marls”) and 
runs thence northwards to Cropthorne. A boring near 
Hasler (or Haselor) Farm proved 75 feet of Lower-Lias 
and Rheetic strata before the Keuper Marls were reached.” 
About a mile west-north-west of Bengeworth Station, the
