It is unnecessary to add any remarks to the above record. 



Traces of black clay (bed 20), white marl and fossihferous 

 limestone, are seen (all very much intermingled) on top of the 

 Chipping-Norton Limestone in quarry 30, that is, the section 

 referred to by Mr H. B. Woodward as " south of Enstone (east 

 of the 69th milestone).'" In the same quarry are fine masses 

 of travertine. 



The Chipping-Norton Limestone is exposed in the quarry 

 numbered 31 ; while 32 is Walford's " Fulwell Quarry."
