GEOLOGY OF THE QUANTOCKS. 101 
I yesterday visited this little quarry, and I was perfectly 
astonished at the great abundance of fossil remains to be 
found there. Though I was only there some ten minutes, 
yet I collected nearly 1 ewt. of speceimens. They require 
the greatest care in extracting and handling, being ex- 
ceedingly friable, and appear embedded in a ferruginous, 
elayish powder. Mr. Draper made a hasty analysis, with 
a result as follows, viz. :— 
Stheanshrosmaa rn TREUEN. A 70 
Alumina and Oxide of Iron ..... 27°5 
Magnesia and a little Lime .... 275 
100°25 
In alane westward of Lydeard Cross, on the road to 
Broomfield, we may observe ferruginous-like and soft yellow 
sandstones, with an abundance of beautifully-formed disks 
and casts of small encrinites. In a specimen 4% inches by 
2, there are 1,800 appearing on one side of the specimen 
only. The slate also of this neighbourhood contains im- 
pressions of encrinites, but fewer than in the sandstone. 
To the south-east of Enmore we get a flesh-colour sand- 
stone appearing, the dip_ of the slate being south-east by 
221 deg., and no trace of fossils. At Boomer and from the 
north of North Petherton, towards Goathurst, the colour 
changes to almost a greyish purple hue, and the sandstone 
becomes more siliceous : dip 15 deg. north-east, without a 
trace of fossil remains.. We pass now to the southern part 
where we have the quartzoze schists or slates. At Edg- 
borough or Adsborough, we find a siliceous, argillaceous 
slate, slightly tinged with green, with large veins of quartz 
intersecting, at an angle of about 60 deg. south, the slates 
dipping about 45 deg. south. The cutting at Green Dra- 
gon Hill offers an excellent view; the slate is more finely
