Burnet: Notes on the Upper Chalk of Lincolnshire. 209 



these same beds are seen, but the onl}^ fossils that I could find 

 were Rhynchonella cuvieri, Kingena lima., and a spine of Cidaris 

 peronata. This pit is about 400 feet above O.D. 



At Beesby, about a mile south of Hawerby, there is a 

 fairly g'ood section showing- beds which are slightly different 

 from any seen at Ormsby or Fotherby. The chalk is flaggy, 

 and not hard, but fossils seem to be rare. The only ones 

 that I found were Ostrea vesicitlaris, Terebratnla carnea, and 

 Inoceranius sp. Lower beds than these are seen at Wold 

 Newton at a quarry S.S.E. of the village, where there is an 

 exposure of about 30 feet of hard chalk with thick tabular 

 flints, and the following fossils : Rhynchonella cuvieri., Kingena 

 lima., and Holaster placenta ? 



At Beelsby there is a fairly larg-e quarry near the Church. 

 The chalk is rather flag^gy and is not hard, but fossils are 

 scarce. Those found were : Rhynchonella cuvieri., Terebratnla 

 carnea and Inoceranius (an unnamed species). Similar beds are to 

 be seen in a quarry south-east of Irby. Here are exposed about 

 25 feet of rather flaggy chalk, with tabular bands, and scattered 

 lenticles of flint, and containingf Inocera7nus cuvieri, Spondylus 

 latus, Holaster planus (or placenta), Rhynconella cuvieri, and 

 Terebratulina lata. 



At Great Limber there are two very good sections. From 

 the quarry a little to the west of the Church I obtained Parasmilia 

 centralis, Rhynchonella plicatilis, var. octoplicata , Rhynchonella 

 cuvieri, and Infulaster excentricus. The other quarry is a mile 

 south-east of the \illage, and here I found Spondylus latus, 

 Echinocorys scutatus, and Terebratnla carnea. 



There are no good sections in the neighbourhood of 

 Brocklesby. There is an old quarry half a mile south of the 

 village, and another at Limber Parva, just inside the park, but 

 both are much overgrown, and the only fossils found were 

 Holaster placenta and Serpula sp. from the latter pit. 



From the quarry at Kirming-ton, described by Mr. Hill in his 

 ' Note on the Upper Chalk of Lincolnshire,'* I obtained Holaster 

 planus, Kingena lima, Rhynchonella cuvieri, and Inoceranius 

 cuvieri. 



There is a ver}' large quarry near the railway about a mile 

 south of Ulceby The beds are horizontal, and these contain 

 scattered flints. There are also a few tabular bands. The 

 fossils found here were Terebratnla carnea, Kingena lima, 

 Rhync/ionella cuvieri (or reedensis), and Ostrea vesiculan's.
