MR. L. RtCllARDSOtt ON TllE 



[vol. lxxiv, 



mind those of the Marl Bed and subjacent limestone of the neigh- 

 bourhood of Bradford Abbas ; and those of Bed 6, the rock queried 

 as truellei at Slade's Quarry, North Perrott. 



The most interesting deposit in this section is the Sponge-Bed. 

 It is similar in appearance to the well-known spongiferous beds 

 at Shipton Gorge (Dorset). 1 The sponges here at Haselbury, 

 however, are represented by few species. 



Mr. Upton has examined for me a sample of the marl from the 

 Sponge-Bed, and reports the occurrence of the following fossils : 



Bbachiopoda. 2 



Crania canalis Moore.
