Notes. — A. lump of Oolite-Marl matrix was found at the entrance to the 

 quarry. The Snowshill-Clay deposits are interesting and fossiliferous. It is 

 unfortunate that their furtlaer development downward is hidden by much 

 fallen debris, for I have not yet discovered any exposure of these rocks with 

 similar characters. The bed IX 7 is a remarkable kind of pisolitic iron- 

 stone, different from any other bed in the Cotteswolds. 



The * Graphoceras ' sp. is interesting, bearing out the suggestion made in 

 former papers as to the date of the Snowshill Clay — that it was of concavi 

 hemera. It is not a true Graphoceras, not having a proper V-script radial line, 

 and it is a species different from any one obtained from Dorset or Somerset. 

 It is, however, a Graphoceratoid, and has a coucavumbilicus ; moreover, it is 

 akin to certain species found in the concavi hemera of Dorset. As ammonites 

 are very scarce in the ■Cotteswold Inferior Oolite, the find is very satisfactory. 



The next section — exposures near the top of Stanway Hill, on 

 the old road from Tewkesbury to Moreton-in-the-Marsh — supplies a 

 few additional details.
