Thickness in feet inches. 



discita, (6) Yellow Conglomerate Bed. — A thin 



concavi, yellowish marl, containing in irony 



bradfordensis, coatings and often worn condition 



murchisovce. small fossils of various dates : 



those of discitce date perhaps most 



numerous. The bed may generally 



be seen attached to upturned masses 



of the Pink Bed 



Discitce date : Carinatitabulate Ilil-

 Braunsina elegantwla ; Haplo- 

 phniroceias subspinatum ; Belem-

 Concavi date : Ludwigella. 

 Bradfordensis date : Broken frag- 

 ments of Brasilia -bradfordensis 

 pattern. 

 Murchisouce (or Ancolioccras) date : 



Cirrus nodosus, Omisius. 

 Scissi date: Burtonia sp., and rock- 

 fragments derived from the

Note: — The sands are known to the natives as 'Fox-mould.' There is a 

 notice in Burton village about the removal of fox-mould and sand, where 

 ' sand ' presumably means a sharp grit for building-purposes. 



III. Comparison or the Strata. 



(a) Comparison of the Sections at Burton and Chideock. 



Working upwards, from the bottom of the sands to the top of 

 the scissum bed, the strata of these two localities seem to be the 

 counterpart one of another, so far as the evidence goes. After 

 the scissum bed, changes begin — due to penecontemporaneous 

 erosions. The Wild Bed of Chideock (Ancolioceras to bradford- 

 ensis) is not represented by deposit at Burton ; the discitce bed of 

 Burton has not been definitely found at Chideock. The Red Bed
