﻿Vol. 64.] THE FOSSILIFEROUS SILURIAN ROCKS OF TORTWORTH. 531 



of some 70 yards or so, at first in the bed of the stream, but 

 farther east at points near the right bank. At several spots 

 still farther east are small and poor exposures of Llandovery rocks 

 (shale or stiff clay, with grit-bands and decalcified sandy limestone 

 full of fossils) dipping at 35° to 40° south-eastwards, the dip 

 being such as to bring the beds over the trap. One of these is at 

 a point about 15 yards west of the foot-bridge. No exposures 

 are to be seen east of the foot-bridge. A list of fossils from the 

 Wenlock strata of the stream-bed west of Daniel's Wood is given on 

 p. 273 of the previous communication, and to it we can now add : — 



Aulopora serpens. 

 TentacuUces sp. 

 Lichas sp. 

 Fhacops sp. 

 Spirifer plicatellus. 

 Orthis elegantula. 



EhyncJionella Lewisi. 

 Ehynchonella nucula. 

 Fentamerus (?) rotundus. 

 Chonetes striatella. 

 Orthonota sp. 

 Horiostoma sp. 



Two other exposures of Wenlock Limestone occur along the 

 western side of Daniel's Wood. The one near the middle of its 

 western border, and just within the limits of the wood, shows about 

 10 feet of somewhat sandy and unfossiliferous limestone dipping 

 eastwards at 50°. The other is a rather more considerable ex- 

 posure, forming a slight scarp parallel to the north-western edge 

 of the wood. The dip here is 25° east-south-eastwards, and the 

 rock consists of red limestone and mottled red and purple sand- 

 stone. Here we found Calymene Blumenhachi, Atrypa reticularis, 

 Favosites Forhesi, and Rhynchonella Davklsoni (?). 



Another small exposure, in the ditch a few yards to the north, 

 contained Calymene Blumerihachi and RJiyncJionella sp. An old 

 overgrown depression north of the hedge probably marks a further 

 extension of this band of limestone. 



{d) The Stone and Woodford areas. — In the area west 

 of the Gloucester road, between Stone and Falfield, Llandovery 

 rocks are shown in the Geological-Survey map, but the few scattered 

 exposures now visible are all probably in Wenlock rocks. The few 

 dips obtainable are in various directions. Two of these exposures 

 occur in the lanes west of Falfield Farm ; a short distance to the 

 east of the stream is a good exposure of red crystalline lime- 

 stone and red sandstone containing Alveolites sp., Hallia sp., 

 Atrypa reticularis, crinoid-stems, and a big Euomphalus. The 

 dip of the beds was not ascertainable. West of the stream, how- 

 ever, is another exposure dipping at 35° to 40° south-eastwards. 

 Here we obtained Strophomena euglypha, Trematospira Salteri(?), 

 Spirifer sp., and Phacops caudatus. 



At the turn of the stream, about 150 yards north of this ex- 

 posure, hard red and mottled crystalline limestone is exposed in 

 the stream-bed and dips at 25° north-westwards. Atrypa reticularis 

 and Rhynchonella sp. were the only fossils met with at this point. 



Some 300 yards farther north by west, red sandy limestone 

 practically iji situ yielded Phacops caudatus, Strophomena compressa, 

 and Atrypa reticularis.
