lower part of the formation, and are practically equivalent 
to the beds exposed in the section in King Street, Stroud. 
The lower part of the general section given by Witchell, 
that is, 
Eto — ins; 
10 0 Bands of argillaceous limestone 
8 o Brown friable shaly clay 
appears to refer to the same beds. No part of either the 
Churchdown or King-Street sections appears to include 
anything equivalent to any portion of the upper 50 feet 
given by Witchell. 
One of the most complete and interesting sections of 
the Upper Lias of the South of England is that at 
Ilminster recorded by the late Charles Moore in his well- 
known paper “On the Middle and Upper Lias of the 
South-West of England,” published in the Proceedings of 
the Somersetshire Archeological and Natural History 
Society for the years 1865-6’. I adopt the Ilminster 
section’ as a standard for the purpose of correlation, and as 
the paper is somewhat inaccessible, I here reproduce the 
section, merely inverting it so as to have the oldest beds at 
the bottom as in nature, retaining however for the sake of 
reference Moore’s stratigraphical terms and index letters.
