Between this section and Charlton, in the ploughed 
fields along the summit of the escarpment, pieces of the 
Estheria-bed were found ; also pieces of bed 7. A nodule 
similar to those at Coomb Hill, immediately above bed 7, 
was also observed. The pieces of the &stherza-bed 
obtained exhibited imperfect arborescent markings, and 
contained several Estherie. Bed 7 contained Pecten 
valoniensis, Pleurophorus, Protocardium rheticum, and 
Schizodus.: the nodule numerous well-preserved specimens 
of Schizodus Ewaldi. The “Tea-green Marls” are ex- 
- posed in the sides of the lane leading southwards from 
Charlton—immediately after leaving the village. 
a.—The Woodnorton Section. 
In the Duc d’Orléans’ grounds at Woodnorton, over 
which Mr Wasley, the head keeper, kindly conducted me, 
there is a section of the Upper Rhetic deposits at the hill 
locally known as the “Blue Hill.” A bridle-path here 
passes through a cutting under a public road. At the 
time of my visit (December, 1902,) the section was 
becoming rapidly obscured, but fortunately it was possible 
to obtain the thickness of the several deposits, and also to 
examine the limestone-beds.
