in all; while the Otterton breccias must be separated from the 

 lowest bed of the section here exposed by fully 150 feet. 



That the Otterton breccias should form a basement for the Keuper 

 in South Devon, I have no great objections to offer. These breccias, 

 however, as the authors are well aware, are only a small portion 

 of still lower beds of the same nature seen on the west side of that 

 river, and extending along the Promenade until they are underlain 

 by the red sandstones which in their turn overlie the Budleigh 

 Salterton Pebble-bed. 



These beds are of considerable thickness, 100 feet or more, and 

 possess many distinguishing features. They are essentially different 

 from any other beds in the Trias. Their dolomitic breccias or 

 conglomerates, and the accompanying masses of concretionaiy 

 limestone, would almost mark them off as a good representative 

 of the missing Muschelkalk, if this formation has an equivalent in 

 England. 



It is the immediately overlying mottled or current-bedded sand- 

 stones seen between Otterton Point and the east side of the Sid, 

 that I would regard as the base of the Keuper, in which have been 

 found the remains of the ITyperodapedon. This is a point, however, 

 that I would not by any means urge if it be considered that the 

 missing Muschelkalk has no true equivalent or representative in 

 our own country. 



The chief object of my paper will have been attained if it is 

 deemed that I have shown sufScient evidence for the conclusions 

 that the Sidmouth section has been misread by Professor Hull and 

 Dr. Irving, and that the Otterton breccias are on a far lower 

 horizon than the alleged breccias (?) in the Sidmouth section.
