and JRhynchonella decemjpUcata, Sow., are very abundant ; and we 

 also found Enciinurus punctatus, Ortlioceras (?) sp., Ctenodonta sp., 

 and Favosites sp. The presence of Bhynclionella decemplicata. which, 

 according to Davidson, is restricted to the Llandovery, induces us 

 to refer this exposure to that horizon. 



(e) The Eastwood-Park Area. 



The southernmost spot where there is indubitable evidence of 

 the presence of Llandovery rocks is at a little copse in Eastwood 

 Park, about 150 yards west-south-west of the 14th milestone from 

 Bristol. Here, in debris of calcareous sandstone of the usual type, 

 the following fossils were found : — Palceocydus -prceacuius^ Leptcena 

 rhomhoidalis, Ortliis elegantida (?), Stropliomena comrtressa ; and, the 

 rock being exposed by trenching, the following additional species were 

 found : — Favosites Forbesi (?), Atrypa reticularis^ and Bliynclionella 

 serrata ( ?). This deposit closely resembles that of Daniel's Wood, both 

 lithologically and faunistically, especially in the great abundance of 

 Palceocydus prceacutus. Red sandstone with Phacoj)ss'p. and obscure 

 brachiopodswas observed to be associated with the highly-fossiliferous 

 calcareous sandstone, but the mutual relations of the two deposits 

 were not clear. 



There are several old quarries in Eastwood Park, but all are now 

 very much overgrown or full of water. One of these, lying about 

 200 yards south-south-west of the post-office at Falfield, provided 

 the stone from which Falfield Church was built. It is in the main 

 a reddish sandstone, but sometimes becomes calcareous, sometimes 

 argillaceous and fissile. Lord Ducie's collection contains a number 

 of fossils from Eastwood, some in a hard red calcareous sandstone, 

 others in a whitish sandstone (see lists, pp. 538, 540). Those in the 

 reddish matrix were probably derived from the quarry referred to 

 above. 



The following fossils were obtained from red sandstone-material 

 brought to the surface in digging graves in Falfield Churchyard : — 

 Ccelospira hemispJierica, Atrypa reticularis, and Favosites sp. 



(2) The Wenlock and (?) Ludlow Beds. 



In the Geological-Survey map on the 1-inch scale the "Wenlock 

 Beds are shown forming a band with an average width of about 

 half a mile, stretching in a north-north-easterly direction from 

 Brinkmarsh Farm and Whitfield on the south to Cinderford Bridge,^ 

 a point about half a mile south of Middlemill, on the north. Here 

 they are shown cut off by an east-and-west fault ; they are also 

 shown as shifted by an east-and-west fault at about the middle 

 of their outcrop, a point immediately south of Falfield Mill. Thev 

 are indicated as bounded on the east by a strip of Ludlow rocks, 

 narrow in the main but widening to the south in the neighbour- 

 hood of Horseshoe Farm. As regards their western boundary, — 



1 Keither Cinderford Bridge, nor the roads which in the Geological-Survey 

 map are seen approaching it, are now in existence.
