Coomb Hill is a smooth bivalve, but too imperfect to be generically 
determined. 
2. Wainlode Cliff, three miles west-south-west from Coomb Hill.— 
The section exposed at this locality has been laid open by the action 
of the Severn, and consists of the following beds :—

The bone-bed is far less rich in organic remains, accumulations of 
fragments of bones and coprolites occurring at rare intervals; and 
its prevailing character is that of a fissile, white, micaceous sand- 
stone, sometimes acquiring a flinty hardness. The upper surface of 
the bed is ripple-marked, and in some cases presents impressions 
considered by Mr. Strickland to have been probably made by the 
claws of crustacea. A small bivalve is also the only shell found in 
the bed. The stratum No. 2, the author says, is evidently a con- 
tinuation of No. 6. of the Coomb Hill section. 
3. Bushley, two miles and a half west of Tewkesbury.—The inter- 
section of the lias escarpment by the Ledbury road near Bushley 
afforded Mr. Strickland the following section :—

The sandstone bed, No. 6, agreeing precisely with that at Wain- 
lode Cliff, Mr. Strickland does not hesitate to consider it the repre- 
sentative of the bone-bed, though organic remains are wanting ; and 
he points out the identity of the stratum No. 4. with the beds Nos. 
2. and 6. of the preceding sections. The author also refers to the 
railway section near Droitwich (see anté, p. 314), and identifies with
