t Extract from a paper on ' The Geology of the Vale of Wardour,' by Mr. W. 

 Cunnington, F.G.S., read at the Blackmore Museum, Salisbury. (In a letter from Mr. 

 Cunnington, February 1885.) "According to Prof, E. Forbes Cypris tuberculata is 

 found only in the Upper Pur becks, Cypris fasciculata in the Middle, and Cypris 



piirbecJcensis in the Lower It appears that the Upper Purbecks are altogether 



wanting in the Vale of Wardour 



" In the year 1851 I had the pleasure of accompanying Prof. E. Forbes and other 

 geological friends in a tour through the Vale of Wardour. Passing down a lane 

 between Teffont and Tisbmy, I broke off from the rock at the side of the road, a small 

 piece of stone full of Cyprides ; and, showing it to him, he said, ' This is Cypris fas- 

 ciculata ; within a few yards lower down you ought to find Cypris purbecTcensis ; ' and, 

 as he predicted, within the space mentioned, I found the very species. The specimens 



are now on the table As this was Mr. Forbes's first visit to the spot, the incident 



affords a striking proof of his geological knowledge."

 '•'precursor of the Purbecks," Hudleston, Proc. Geol. Assoc, loc. cit. See also Prof. 

 .Judd's remarks on the passage from the Portland into the Purbeck, Quart. Journ.

The geology of the Vale of Wardour has been treated of by Dr. W. Fitton in his 

 memoir " On the Strata below the Chalk," &c. Trans. Geol. Soc. ser. 2, vol. iv. 1836, 

 and the Purbeck beds of the district are especially mentioned, thus : — Dallard's Farm,
