Vol. 63.~] OF THE BATH-DOULTING DISTRICT. 411 



(B) Foss-Way Quarry, near Radstoek. 



Thickness in feet inches. 

 Soil, clay (Fullers' Earth) and rubble; 

 about 4 



II. Anabacia- a. Limestone, white, oolitic ; Serpula, sp. 



Limestones. indet., common in a bed 3 feet 2 inches 



above the base : about 6 



h. Limestone, massive ; Anabacia complanata, 



Serpula 2 10 



c. Limestones, four beds, shelly in places, 

 especially the top-bed ; Nerincea Guisei, 



Witchell 3 7 



III. Doulting Limestone, yellowish, hard, bluish in places 

 Stone. with ' Terebr atida globata ' ; very rubbly at 

 the base. Most, of the beds are pebbly, 

 some of the pebbles being bored and 

 having Ostrece and Serpula attached. 

 From the lowest rubbly beds seen were 

 obtained Pecten (Syncyclonema) de- 

 missus, Ostrea, Trigonia, Homomya 

 cf. crassiuscula, Holectypus depressus, 

 var. (conical), Serpula, Strophodus mag- 

 nus, Trichites (fragments), Belemnites 

 (fragment), Hhynchonella hampenensis, 

 Eh. subtetrahedra, Pleuromya Goldfussi 

 (Lycett) ; Limea duplicata, found on the 

 spoil-heap, probably came from this 

 horizon : seen 5 



From the indications of the Fullers' Earth among the rubble 

 at the top of the section, and the extensive infillings which extend 

 far down the fissures in the Oolite, there can be little doubt that 

 the clay-deposit has in comparison but recently been removed by 

 denudation. Specimens of Anabacia do not appear to be very 

 common here, although otherwise the ^wafraaa-Limestones are 

 typically developed. The Doulting Stone is much less massive than 

 usual. The rubbly beds at the lowest portion seen in this quarry 

 contain Trigonia not infrequently (compare with Midford, Table II, 

 facing p. 408), and correspond to beds in the Hed-Post Quarry, 

 about half- a -mile to the north-east, to which Mr. Hudleston refers 

 as ' traces of a IVigonia-Bed.' 



The fossiliferous layers in the Doulting Stone and Anabacia- 

 Limestones are very sporadic. Casts of Nerincea (probably, in the 

 main of N. Guisei) are fairly numerous in some of the beds on 

 Clan Down, concerning which locality Mr. Hudleston writes : 



; As far as we know at present, this is the most southern locality in England 

 where Nerinaa has been found to occur in the Inferior Oolite, and abundantly 

 too, since there are no less than three shell-beds traceable here.' (' Monogr. Inf. 

 Ool. Gasterop.' Pahsont. Soc. pt. i, 1887, p. 54.)
