ERTEBRATE- REMAINS are by no means abundant in the 
Inferior-Oolite rocks of the Cotteswold Hills and Bath—Doulting 
District. Mr. H. B. Woodward, F.R.S., has written— 
‘¢ The Inferior Oolite Series has yielded a rich and varied Invertebrate fauna, but 
the remains of Saurians and Fishes are very rare. 
“‘The Reptilia that have been found include Megalosawrus and Stencosawrus, and 
the Fishes are represented by Hybodus, Strophodus, etc.” 
At the end of the work from which the above quotation is taken is 
a list of the vertebrate-remains which had been collected up to that 
year, namely, 1894.’ 
In 1904 I gave a list of the vertebrate-remains which had been 
recorded from the Cheltenham district,” and, except for the record for 
vertebrae and bones of ? Zehthyosaurus from Leckhampton and Sudeley 
Hills (on the authority of James Buckman & H. E. Strickland, and 
the more precise stratigraphical location of certain of the other 
recorded remains), my list was the same as that given in the 
Geological Survey Memoir mentioned above. 
The following list is by no means a lengthy one, but as it embodies 
the results of quite ten years’ collecting on my own part, and 
considerably longer on Mr. Charles Upton’s part, it will be at once 
understood that vertebrate-remains are by no means common in the 
Inferior-Oolite rocks.
