  few 
  months, 
  an 
  important 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  Rolling 
  Bank 
  quarry 
  has 
  

   been 
  opened 
  up, 
  showing, 
  in 
  one 
  exposure, 
  confirmation 
  of 
  what 
  

   was 
  before

  inductive 
  surmise

  the 
  piecing

  Note. 
  — 
  The 
  details 
  of 
  Beds 
  1-3 
  were 
  obtained 
  by 
  breaking 
  the 
  stones 
  in 
  the 
  

   soil 
  of 
  the 
  field 
  to 
  the 
  northward, 
  measuring 
  the 
  rise 
  of 
  the 
  ground, 
  and 
  

   allowing 
  for 
  the 
  dip. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Cold 
  Comfort 
  district, 
  which 
  lies 
  about 
  2 
  miles 
  to 
  the 
  

   south-east, 
  the 
  Upper 
  Trigonia-grit 
  rests 
  on 
  the 
  Witchellia-beds. 
  z 
  

   Here 
  is 
  found 
  an 
  additional 
  amount 
  of 
  about 
  20 
  feet 
  of 
  deposit 
  

   separating 
  these 
  two 
  beds. 
  

  

  About 
  6 
  furlongs 
  to 
  the 
  north-east, 
  where 
  the 
  ' 
  White 
  Way 
  ' 
  

   runs 
  through 
  Puckham 
  Wood— 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  fault 
  which 
  has 
  let

   the 
  so-called 
  Stonesfield

  beds 
  of 
  Bathonian 
  age,

  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  road 
  near 
  

   the 
  top 
  of 
  the

  Higher 
  up 
  the 
  hill, 
  in 
  a 
  field 
  behind, 
  the 
  

   Phillipsiana-'beds 
  may 
  be 
  recognized, 
  not 
  only 
  by 
  the 
  distinctive 
  

   matrix, 
  but 
  by 
  Terebratula 
  Buckmaniana 
  and 
  other 
  fossils. 
  The 
  

   same 
  beds 
  may 
  be 
  discovered 
  in 
  the 
  stones 
  of 
  the 
  field 
  just 
  above 
  

   Wontley
