444 INFERIOR OOLITE OE RISSINGTON, BUREORD, ETC. [Nov. I907, 



The Rev. H. H. Winwood remarked on the good detailed work 

 done by the Author in the Inferior Oolites of the Cotteswolds, 

 enabling him to correlate them with other beds in more distant 

 districts. The Doulting' Beds hitherto had yielded but few fossils, 

 and the speaker asked whether the Author had found, in those 

 40 feet of building-stone, any specimens of Clypeus Plotii, whereby 

 he would correlate these beds with the well-known Clypeus-QYib of 

 the Cotteswolds. 



The Author thanked the Fellows for the kindly reception which 

 they had accorded to his papers. Mr. Whitaker's remarks reminded 

 him that he had omitted a point which was worth emphasizing, as 

 it was one that was common to several great formations, namely, 

 that the top-beds had by far the greatest geographical extent — 

 much more so than the subjacent deposits of the same formation. 

 In reply to Mr. Winwood, the Author said that it was Glypeus 

 Agassizi that characterized the Doulting Stone of the Yallis area. 

 The fossil was not common, but three or four might reward a day's 

 search. The Doulting Stone of Doulting was not at all unfossili- 

 ferous ; collecting, however, required time. 



The Author took the opportunity of thanking the Council for 

 the honour which they had done him in giving to him the Daniel- 

 Pidgeon Award some few years back. It had been awarded to 

 him to enable him to excavate for the Ehsetic rocks at Berrow 

 Hill, and to continue his researches in connexion with those rocks 

 and the Inferior Oolite. He had communicated a paper on Berrow 

 Hill, and others on the Rhsetic of Monmouthshire and Glamorgan- 

 shire, and he had one almost ready on Somerset. The papers which 

 he had presented that evening were also prepared by the assistance 

 of the Award.
