With regard to the strata in Moore’s division C, I am 
informed by Mr S. S. Buckman, that the identification 4. 
Moorez is inaccurate. C’, that is, the upper beds of the 
Ilminster Upper Lias, are the equivalents of the Cottes- 
wold Sands and lower part of the Cotteswold Cephalopoda- 
bed. The strata lettered by Moore as C? to C* would 
represent the zones of A. dzfrons and A. falczfer. None 
of these beds were exposed in the Stroud section, having 
been removed by denudation in comparatively recent times. 
About a year ago the zones of A. dzfrons and A. falctfer 
were proved at Painswick, by a well-sinking."
