It is now necessary to return, in order to study some sections 

 along another line of country. 



Southward from Dundry Church are two exposures : one is Barns 

 Batch Quarry, at the bend in the road to Littleton on the southern 

 flank of the hill ; and it yields the following section : — 



Section VIII. — Barns Batch. 



ft. 



Pale grey, crystalline, coarse-textured limestone and 

 ragstone massively bedded, but somewhat rubbly in 

 places thickness about 19 



Note. — Here were obtained corals, Terebratula aff. globata, & Ostrea, the 

 same species as one that was found in the Coralline of the main-road quarries. 



The other section is about two fields eastward in a small clump 

 of trees. On the 6-inch Ordnance map it is marked as a ' Gravel 

 Pit.' We have called it ' Barns Batch Spinney.'
