Where best exposed in the Mendip area : — 



(a) The Cheddar section. 



The fine section in the Cheddar Gorge includes the whole 

 of the Seminala-Zone, and affords the best display of this zone 

 to be found in the Mendips. S, is exposed, in the western 

 part of the ravine which branches off the Gorge and rims 

 northward to Long Wood, and all down the Gorge as far as 

 the large quarry; in this quarry, the top of the subzone is 

 very well seen. S 2 is not so well exposed ; but the lower part 

 of the Gorge, between the large quarry and a disused quarry 

 immediately south of the Cliff Hotel, affords a nearly-continuous 

 section. 



A fairly-complete duplicate section can be examiued in the 

 upper reach of the Gorge, ascending from the mouth of the 

 Long-Wood ravine.
