must, however, be united with that of planorhis ; and the beds to 

 22 are included because of the Poraminifera. Below these the beds 

 correspond well with the series called White Lias, including in 

 that the oyster-bands and the white limestone below ; and enclo- 

 sing, as they do, the same fauna, they must be considered the 

 equivalents of that series. 



As none of the beds have as yet proved very fossUiferous, and all 

 the fossils (except microscopic ones) have been mentioned in con- 

 nexion with their respective beds, a list of them is unnecessary ; but 

 the chief species of Foraminifera are the following : — 



Lingulina tenera {Born.).

Polvmorphina bilocularis (Terq.).

At several places on the hill- side the lower beds of pit No. 3 

 may be seen exposed near the road-side, — in one place the oyster- 

 bands, in which I found Pecten jJoUvx (D'Oib.), and in another, 

 thickish blocks of white limestone with impressions of suleated 

 shells, probably Myacites muscuhidcs (Schl.). 



About ]| mile luither on is another pit in which the strata are 

 regularly exposed and show beds lower down in the series than any 

 yet seen. The following is the section.
