24 PROCEEDINGS COTTESWOLD CLUB 1907 
The members then entered a quarry near at hand (Plate I, fig. 1) 
and saw the Clyfeus-Grit resting upon the upper portion of the Upper 
Freestone, and the latter upon the Lower Freestone—the lower 
portion of.the Upper Freestone and the Oolite Marl being absent.’ 
Passing through Upper Slaughter the Members ascended Copse 
Hill, seeing an exposure of Cotteswold Sands with the Lower Lime- 
stone above, for the Scésswm-Beds (which should have intervened) have 
been overstepped by the Lower Limestone which rests non-sequentially 
upon the ‘‘ Sands.” 
After an al fresco meal, the quarry opposite to the entrance 
to Copse-Hill House was entered, and the C/ypeus-Grit was seen rest- 
ing upon the Lower Freestone—the upper portion of the Upper 
Freestone of the Wagborough-Bush Quarry had disappeared, and also 
much of the underlying Lower Freestone. The details of this section 
(Plate I, fig. 2) are as follows :—

The quarry by the side of the Stow Road was next visited. The 
section is most interesting, and at the same time most puzzling. The 
deposits at the southern end of the quarry are greatly disturbed, but 
the following appears to be the correct sequence :— ; 
QUARRY NEAR LOWER SWELL 
(By the side of the Cheltenham Road, three-quarters of a Thickness in 
mile west of the village) Feet inches 
1. Clay, tough, dark greenish-brown, with frag- 
ments of oysters and pieces of a. peculiar 
brown limestone-bed, crowded with gastero- 
pods. From this limestone-bed were col- 
lected Pseudomelania sp. (not unlike 
“ Eulima” levigata or ‘* BE.” communis of 
M. and L.), Pseudomelania sp. [near to 
“* Bulima” levigata, M. and L.; cf. also 
P. astonensis (Hudleston)], apical whorls of 
Amberleya sp. and ? Alaria, Cerithium (of 
the C. muricatum-group), “ Phasianella’ cf. 
conica, M. and L., Watica aff. bajociensis,
