1863.] HOLL INFERIOR OOLITE. 313 



Section near Stow. feet, 



A. Coarse, rubbly, white oolite, becoming darker- coloured to- 



wards the base, and containing in its lower portion great 

 numbers of Terebratula globata, Lima gibbosa, and Pecten 

 lens , 8 



B. Very hard, compact, brown limestone, covered on its upper 



surface with a large flat species of Ostrea 3 



C. Lower Freestone to the bottom of the section. 



The Lower Ragstone is here reduced to 3 feet in thickness, and 

 rests upon the Lower Freestone, the intervening members having 

 thinned out between this place and Turk Dean. A mile further to 

 the south-west, in the quarries above Clapton, this subdivision has 

 nearly reached its extreme limit in this direction ; some hard, brown, 

 sandy rock, with fossils, and a mere trace of the basement-bed being 

 all that remains to represent the Lower Ragstone. At Little Ris- 

 sington both this and the underlying Freestone have entirely thinned 

 out, and the Upper Ragstone rests directly on the Upper Lias clay ; 

 but north of Stow, on the road to ^ioreton, there is still some portion 

 of the Lower Freestone remaining.
