VII—On a Section or Lower Liss at Harsury, near Leamineron. By the 
; Rey. P. B. Bropiz, M.A., F.G.S. 
N° published account of this fine section having appeared, the 
. author gave a detailed description of it, and a list of the fossils, 
pointing out its relation to the same part of the Lias series in Glou- 
cestershire, Somersetshire, and Dorsetshire. This section was in- 
teresting as showing the Lima beds resting upon the White Lias, 
the intermediate Insect and Saurian beds being either entirely 
wanting, or else so reduced in bulk that they are most feebly re- 
presented, the whole passing downwards with the Rheetic series, also 
of limited thickness, including a sandy band with Estheria minuta. 
VIIL.—On Tue Fossmirerous Brps 1m tae New Rep Sanpstonr (Upper and 
Lower Keuper) In Warwicksuire. By the Rev. P. B, Bropin, M.A., F.G.S. 
HE prevailing fossils in these two divisions of the Trias were 
described, especially the remains of Cestraciont fishes more 
perfect than usual in the Upper Keuper ; a species of Paleoniscus 
(the last of its race) P. szperstes, and a new mailed fish undescribed, 
with plants profusely distributed in certain places, indicating a some- 
what varied flora, and especially well-defined footsteps of Rhyncho- 
saurus (noticed for the first time in the Upper Keuper), and Ladbyrin- 
thodon, chiefly confined in Warwickshire to the upper division. 
The Lower Keuper is remarkable for its more or less perfect remains 
of Labyrinthodonts, of which a fine collection, the best in England, 
is contained in the Warwick Museum. Hence it was shown that 
predaceous fishes and salamander-like reptiles were comparatively 
abundant during this period, and if this formation was as largely 
quarried as many others, a more extensive fauna and flora would 
probably be detected. A larger extension of the Keuper was pointed 
out in a portion of the area occupied by it, while it reached its 
minimum thickness in Warwickshire as shown by Mr. Hull. The 
best sections of the Upper and Lower Keupers were described in 
detail, and the denudations which the district under review had 
undergone were accurately determined. 
IX.—On a Drivr Derosir NEAR LirLESHALL, SHROPSHIRE, CONTAINING RECENT 
Marine Suexis. By C. J. Woopwarp, of the Midland Institute, Birmingham. 
(pais deposit was pointed out to the author by Mr. Masefield, of 
the Woodhouse Farm. It consists of a mound some thirty or 
forty feet high, the mound forming a field known as Fox Hill Field. 
It is situated about three miles from Oakengate Station on the Bir- 
mingham and Shrewsbury Railway, and is on the grounds of Mr. 
Duddlestone, New Lodge Farm. 
The shells occur only on the north side of the mound, and are as- 
sociated with fine gravel intermixed with thin bands of red clay. 
Associated with the shells are pebbles of various kinds. They are 
srincipally of quartz, but many are of sandstone, curiously pitted on 
their surface. There are also small granite pebbles, rounded frag-
