On considering this list of cephalopoda, we remark the poverty 

 of the inferior oolite as compared with the immediately preceding- 

 sands, especially in ammonites. Very few of the liassic forms are 

 continued into the oolite ; and very few new forms have yet been 

 collected from it in the Gloucestershire district. No ammonite is 

 yet mentioned from the freestone (or middle) division ; no belemnite ; 

 only one species of nautilus ; though these genera are well repre- 

 sented in the pea-grit below and in the ragstone above. Probably 

 more species of belemnites really occur, especially those allied to 

 B. canaliculatus of Schlotheim. 



PISCES. 



Remains of this race of marine animals are uncommon in the 

 inferior oolite of our district, nor are they plentiful anywhere in 

 these strata in England. Teeth of Cestraciont sharks (Acrodus) are 

 mentioned near Stroud. 



REPTILIA. 



These are rare fossils in the inferior oolite in all parts of England. 

 At Cornwell, near Chipping-Norton, Plot observed the distal 

 extremity of a large femur, and figured it on his eighth plate, 

 fig. 4. (The reference on the plate to paragraph 155 of chap. v. 

 is wrong; the description begins in paragraph 157.) This measured 

 two feet round the condyles, and fifteen inches in the shank. It 

 may have been the femur of a large megalosaurus or a small ceteo- 

 saurus. At Chapel-house, and another point near Chipping-Norton, 

 and at Churchill, vertebrse and other bones of this huge saurian
