VOL. XVII. (I) INFERIOR OOLITE— SOUTH COTTESWOLDS 87 



It should be mentioned here, that it is probable that 

 Edwin Witchell did not always apply the term " White Oolite " 

 to contemporaneous deposits. He identified the white lime- 

 stones of Horton as his " White Oolite," and so when I use the 

 term " White Oolite," I mean deposits of the same date as 

 those at Horton. 



(i.) Rubbly-Beds. — The Rubbly-Beds are not well-de- 

 veloped in the South Cotteswolds, and often are not much 

 more than a rubbly development of the top-portion of the 

 White Oolite, with occasional specimens of Terebratula globata, 

 auctt., and Holectypus depressus. At the Stancombe Quarry 

 on Stinchcombe Hill, however, they are typically developed, 

 being rubbly limestones with those conspicuous yellow-coloured 

 pisoUte-like spherules, and crowded with Terebratula globata, 

 and less commonly Holectypus depressus, etc. 



The changes which the Doulting Stone, Anabacia-'Lime- 

 stones and Rubbly-Beds undergo during their course through 

 the South Cotteswolds may be summarised as below, and it is 

 important to note the restricted use of the term Clypeus-Grit 

 in the Middle South Cotteswolds.

in. — Local Details. 



For descriptive purposes the South Cotteswolds may be 

 divided into four areas, namely, (i) the Bath-Dodington, (2) 

 the Dodington-Dursley, (3) the Dursley-Selsley, and (4) the 

 Rodborough-Nailsworth Areas. 



In the first of these the only sections worth visiting are at 

 North Stoke, Tog Hill, and " The Springs," near Dodington : 

 in the second there are excellent sections near Horton Rectory 

 and Hawkesbury Monument ; on Winner's Hill, near Alderley ; 

 on the hill north of Wotton-under-Edge ; and on Stinchcombe 

 Hill : in the third at Uley Bury, Frocester and Selsley Hills :
