LL. J. Wilis—Fossiliferous Keuper at Bromsgrove. dl 
certain horizons the plants are found in well-marked carbonaceous 
layers. In some places in the sandstone are quite gigantic stems, one, 
for instance, being about 7 inches across and several feet long. 
I believe that the marl conglomerate, which usually contains fragments 
of bone, represents a definite horizon in all four quarries, but I have 
failed to locate its position in Mr. Griffin’s north quarry, although it 
occurs there. If so, this is the only constant bed. It is curious that 
at Warwick most of the bones came from a very similar marly 
conglomerate; at Pendock, Symonds calls the fossiliferous bed an 
osseous conglomerate ; and at Shrewley, brodie mentions a conglomerate 
which also contains fish and Labyrinthodont remains. Small ripple- 
marks have been found in the sandstone in Mr. Willcox’s north quarry. 
The false bedding points towards rapid sedimentation, and this is 
supported by the fact that leaves of Zamites, 6 inches long, have been 
found lying at right angles to the general direction of the bedding, 
and also doubled on themselves with a good thickness of matrix 
between the two parts. The sandstones, especially in their upper 
part, are intercalated with shale beds, and the following sections along 
the dip faces in two quarries 150 yards apart show the inconstancy of 
the beds very typically. (Fig. 2.)

The sandstones are for the most part quite different in texture, and 
especially in bedding, from those of the Upper Keuper which I have, 
so far, seen at Inkberrow, Shrewley, and Leicester. 
The shales, which occur really as flat-topped lenticles (see Fig. 1, a, 5), 
are of various hues from brown to green. The majority are sandy,
