190 ME. J. "ft". KIEKBT ON THE FOSSILS OF THE 



existed somewhere in the neighbourhood. Several quarries ap- 

 pear to have been formerly wrought to the "W. and NW. of the 

 village, on the outcrop of the Magnesian Limestone ; but most of 

 them are not filled up or otherwise hidden from inspection. From 

 the character of the stone of the Westoe wall, it would seem to 

 have lain near to the base of the Lower Limestone, and, probably, 

 not far removed from the incoherent yellow sand of the Lower 

 Red Sandstone. In some blocks the fossils are very abundant, 

 more particularly one species, Strophalosia lamellosa, Geinitz, 

 which occurs in a dwarfed or young state more plentifully here 

 than in any other locality I am acquainted with. Most of the 

 specimens are in the state of casts, and many of them are con- 

 siderably under their usual size.
