Tea was obtained at ‘‘ The Fort.” Most of the Members re- 
turned by the early train, but Mr Upton, the Hon. Secretary, and 
a few Members visited the old quarry in the grounds of ‘‘ The Fort,” 
and succeeded in finding z situ for the first time Zerebratula Buckmant. 
A second visit to the Mount-Vernon Quarry completed the afternoon’s 
proceedings.

(Report by L. RICHARDSON avd W. THOMPSON) 
The Members who attended the second Meeting were—Mr W. R. 
Carles, C.M.G., F.L.S. (President), Mr Charles Upton (Vice-President), 
Mr A. S. Helps (Hon. Treasurer), Mr L. Richardson (Hon. Secretary), 
and Messrs C. Bowly, A. Cockshott, S. J. Coley, J. M. Collett, O. H. 
Fowler, C. E. Gael, W. Margetson, J. G. Phillips, J. Sawyer, A. J. 
Stephens, C. C. Young, Lieut.-Col. J. C. Duke, and Deputy Surg.- 
Gen. G. A. Watson; while Mr Household came as a Visitor. 
The Members assembled at Dudbridge Station. Climbing Selsley 
Hill, the first quarry on the right-hand side of the road was visited. 
Here Mr Upton explained that the Members had in their walk up the 
hill passed over the upper portion of the Lower Lias (for Dudbridge 
Station is on the Capricornus-Beds), Middle Lias, and Upper Lias, and > 
were now looking at some of the basal limestones of the Inferior 
Oolite—the Lower Limestone. 
In the quarry just beyond, the top portion of the Lower Limestone 
is seen with the Pea-Grit above. Mr Richardson here remarked on 
the reduced thickness of the Pea-Grit, which to the south became still 
more attenuated, and, in the large Frocester-Hill Quarry, is repre- 
sented by a layer but a few inches in thickness. In the North 
Cotteswolds, instead of a pisolitic rock, as here and in the Cheltenham 
district, are brown freestones—the ‘‘ Guiting Stone,” as it is locally 
called. Proceeding to yet a third section, Mr Upton pointed out the 
equivalent of the Oolite Marl, here a deposit in which hard limestones 
predominate. The Upper Freestone was seen above the Oolite Marl; 
while introduced by a trough-fault are Ragstone-Beds. Immediately 
south of this large quarry is a shallow one in the Ragstone-Beds. 
Here Mr Richardson pointed out the top of the Upper Z7#gonia-Grit, 
calling particular attention to the fact that the surface had oysters 
adhering to it, and that there were no clear indications of the Upper
