to the quarry in 1897, he records that the " Upper Trigonia- 

 Grit rests directly upon the Lower Tngonia-Gxii, all the other 

 beds seen at Cleeve Hill the day before not being represented 

 here.'" 



For a gap, then, of about ten years, the Inferior Oohte 

 of the South Cotteswolds received no recorded attention ; but 

 in 1905 the Cotteswold Club visited the sections between 

 Hawkesbury and its hamlet of Hawkesbury Upton. The pre- 

 sent writer has described the sequence of the beds exhibited 

 there in the account of the excursion, recognising — in ascending 

 order — the Opaliniforme- and Scissmn-^eds, Lower Limestone, 

 Upper Trigonia-Gxii, White Oolite (or Limestone), and Fullers' 

 Earth — the Inferior Oolite measuring in all some 60 feet. The 

 section called the " Hawkesbury-Monument Quarry " is also 

 described, but the correct allocation of a certain "bed 9" be- 

 tween the Clypeus- and Upper Trigonia-Grit is left unsettled, 

 although provisionally grouped with the former. It may be 

 provisionally paralleled with the Dundry Freestone.* 



On June 2nd, 1906, Rodborough Hill was visited by the 

 same Club, under the guidance of the writer.^ At this excur- 

 sion the correctness of Mr S. S. Buckman's provisional identi- 

 fication of the Buckmani-Grit was endorsed by the discovery 

 in situ, at " The Fort " Quarry, of Terebratula Buckmani. In 

 the Mount-Vernon Quarry the Upper Coral-Bed was seen and 

 studied, and the writer quoted Witchell's view with regard to 

 its assumed limited geographical extent, but stated how widely- 

 distributed it really was, being represented at Midford and 

 Dundry Hill, to mention but two places. He then added some 

 remarks on the post-Upper-Coral-Bed deposits of the Bath- 

 Doulting district and their equivalents in the Cotteswold Hills. 



In the June of the same year this Club visited Selsley and 

 Frocester Hills. In the report of the excursion, some notes on 

 the former hill are published, and the sequence at the latter is 

 set forth — the Opaliniforme- and Scissum-^eds, Lower Lime- 

 stone, Pea-Grit-Equivalent and Lower Limestone being identi- 

 fied."
