In this roadside section the Sc/ssum-Beds stand out beyond the 
subjacent and often ironshot “‘ marls” of the Cephalopod-Beds. Below 
are ample indications of the Cotteswold Sands, which extend down 
almost to the Marlstone promontory that is seen running out into the 
vale. 
After having examined these classic sections,‘ the Members pro- 
ceeded to Uley Bury,? and, after an a/ fresco lunch, walked along the 
north west side of the camp, which Mr Upton pronounced to be one of 
the finest in the county, if not in the country. 
Mr Richardson drew attention to the geological features of the 
surrounding country. In front of them they had the Severn Valley, 
with the hills of the Forest of Dean beyond. On this side of the 
Severn were the clay-deposits of the Lower Lias. These were 
succeeded by the rock-bed of the Middle Lias ; a thin deposit of clay 
belonging to the Upper Lias; the Cotteswold Sands ; the Cephalopod- 
Bed, and then by the Inferior Oolite. All these rocks once stretched 
much farther westwards. They had been worn back principally by 
river-action, and the gradual cutting-up of the high ground was 
exemplified in the immediate neighbourhood of Uley Bury.
