H. E. Quitter — The Lower Lias of Leicestershire. 



61 



tions near Woolsthorpe (August, 1884), about three feet of these 

 clays were shown. Prof. Judd mentions exposures in the banks of 

 the Eiver Eye. 



Zone of A. capricornus. 



The beds of this zone were well exposed in a field dug for ballast 

 during the recent alterations in the railway near Market Harborough. 

 Six feet of blue shales with abundance of hard limestone nodules 

 containing fossils were shown. Above these were seven feet of 

 thickly laminated blue pyritous shales, containing ironstone nodules, 

 and quite unfossiliferous. A small section of these latter beds is to 

 be seen in a brickyard at the foot of the hill near Meville Holt.
