No. 21. The Pea-grit is one of the most remarkable beds of the Inferior Oolite in 

 the district. It invariably claims the most marked attention from all the continental 

 Oolitic Geologists to whom T have shown our local sections, as it is unlike any bed they 

 are acquainted with in France or Germany. Its upper part consists of— a. A hard, 

 coarse, brown, rubbly Oolite, full of flattened concretions, cemented together by a 

 calcareous matrix. When the blocks weather, the concretions resemble flattened peas, 

 and form an uneven surface. In the cavities of the Pisolite beautiful Echinidae are often 

 found in great perfection, and many other fossils are very well preserved therein. 

 |3. A hard, cream-coloured, pisolitic rock, made up of compressed, flattened concretions 

 like those of a ; the bed is more compact in parts, y. A coarse, brown, ferruginous 

 Ragstone, full of large oolitic grains and much ferric oxide ; it is readily disinteg- 

 rated by frost. The three beds measure from thirty to forty feet in thickness. The 

 Pea-grit varies considerably in development in different locahties. Crickley, Leck- 

 hampton, Birdiip, and Cleeve Hills afford the best types of this bed.
