[Jan. 9, 



Warwickshire, and at Shepton-Mallet in Somersetshire, an Isastrasa 

 occurs. Dr. Wright states that Isastrcea Murchisoni has heen met 

 with in the next lowest hed of the Lower Lias, namely the White 

 Lias, with Ammonites Planorbis at Street in Somerset ; and another 

 Coral has heen found in the same zone at Whitnash and Itchington 

 in Warwickshire. Lastly, in the " Guinea-bed " or " Guineas " at 

 Binton in Warwickshire another Coral has been met with. 



The Montlivaltice of the Hippopodium-bed and the Isastrcece of the 

 Lima-beds appear to have grown over much larger areas in the 

 Liassic sea than the other Corals here referred to. 



2. On the Sections of the Malvern and Ledbury Tunnels (Wor- 

 cester and Hereford Railway), and the intervening Line of 

 Railroad. By the Rev. W. S. Symonds, F.G.S., and Alas Lam- 

 bert, Esq. With a Note on the Fossils ; by J. W. Salter, Esq., 

 F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of Great Britain. 



In a paper published in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal 

 for April 1857 (p. 257), I described briefly the " Correlation of the 

 Triassic Rocks in the Vale of Worcester and at the Malvem 

 Tunnel." These rocks have the following order on the flanks of the 

 Malverns : — 



1. Upper Keuper Marls. 



2. Upper Keuper Sandstone. 



3. Lower Red or Keuper Marls. 



4. Lower Keuper Sandstones (Waterstones). 



5. Upper Red Sandstone (Bromesberrow beds). 



6. Lower Red Sandstone (Stourport beds). 



No. 6. The lowest of these deposits is a dark-red sandstone with 

 black patches, and closely resembles the " Lower Red Sandstone " 

 of the geological surveyors in mineralogical character. It is to be 

 seen at the back of the stables of the Belle Vue Hotel at Great Mal- 

 vern, dipping from the hill, to the south-east, at an angle of 60°. 



A large erratic block, angidar and with no sign of subaqueous 

 action, was found imbedded in this dark-red sandstone. This 

 erratic block is different to any rock now exposed in the Malvern 

 district, and appears to me to belong to the Cambrian grits of North 

 Wales, or possibly to that of the Longmynd. It may be seen in 

 the Museum of the Malvern Field-Club at the Messrs. Burrow's, 

 Great Malvern. 



No. 5. This Upper Red Sandstone (Bromesberrow beds) may be 

 studied with advantage at the village of Bromesberrow, where it 

 overlies the Haffield or Permian breccia of Prof. Ramsay and the 

 Geological Survey Map, and is covered by the Waterstones of the 

 Newent district. 



No. 4. Lower Keuper Sandstones (Waterstones). 



A patch of these sandstones flanks the Chase End Hill of the 

 Southern Malverns, and ranges from a wood at the back of the 

 Hawthorns, in the parish of Berrow, towards Bromesberrow Place,
