and thicker near Painswick than at Birdlip or at Eodborough Hill, 

 near Stroud. This is owing to the way in which the beds were 

 flexured and eroded during the ' Bajocian Denudation.' South of 

 Wotton, indeed, south of Frith's Quarry, near Painswick, the 

 intervening beds become thinner and thinner, and near Upton 

 Cheney disappear altogether ; and, consequently, thence southwards 

 the Upper Trigonia-G rit and the Lias are in apposition.

Discussion [on the two foregoing Papers]. 



The Chairman (Dr. A. Strahan) spoke of the value of the precise 

 palseontological work contained in this and other papers by the 

 Author. He was not prepared, however, to attribute the slight 

 changes of level or physical geography evidenced in the distribution 

 of small subdivisions of the Secondary rocks to the same class of 

 earth-movement as that which had at one time or another led to 

 mountain-building along the Malvernian axis. 



Mr. "Whitaker remarked that it seemed to him very interesting 

 that so much new matter should be found in the Inferior Oolite. 

 The local absence of one or two beds in some districts was notice- 

 able, involving curious irregularities within a simple formation. 

 The papers showed that much detailed geology remained to be done 

 yet, and the Author's district was fortunate in possessing so careful 

 an observer.
