406 MR. S. S. BUCKMAN ON THE BAJOCIAN [Aug. 1 895, 



The next section is that of a quarry called Dunley — a rather 

 out-of-the-way place, not easy to find. It shows that the Gryphite- 

 grit is wanting — that the Upper Trigonia-grA is in contact with 

 the Buckmani-grit ; and assuming that Bed 4 of Dunley is rightly 

 correlated with Bed 4 of Buckholt "Wood, it will he noticed that the 

 upper part of the Buckmani-grit has been removed. The marks of 

 the denudation which preceded the deposition of the Upper Trigonia- 

 grit are very noticeable in this quarry. 



Section XII. — Dunley Quarry. (From Stroud, 5| miles N.E. by N. ; 

 from Leckhampton Hill, 4J miles S.W. by S. Situated to the 

 right of the by-road from Foston's Ash * to Cranham Common, 

 where this meets the by-lane which leaves the main road 

 from Birdlip, just before Hazel Hanger Wood.) 



Between Clypeus- ft. ins. ft. ins. 



and Upper 1. White, oolitic stone, broken up and 



Trigonia-grits. mixed with soil 2 



Upper Tri- 2. Grey shelly ragstone with earthy 

 gonia-grit. partings, containing brachiopoda in 



good preservation. Terebratula 



globata, Bhynchonella hampenensis. 4 . 



BucJcmani' 3. Grey, pinkish, hard, sometimes shelly, 

 grit. at other times oolitic stone, in two 



beds. The upper surface planed 



off, with pockets. The top bed 



much bored, in places right through, 



and the under one often pierced. 



There are in places iron stains and 



impressions of Trigonice — the shells 



decomposed, the cavities filled with 



iron oxide 2 



4. Grey sandy parting ; the presumed 



horizon of a specimen of Terebra- 

 tula BucJcmani from a sandy matrix 



picked up from the spoil-heap. It 



is not easy to get at, being close to 



the floor of the quarry and hidden 



by rubble *. 2

Besides the Terebratula BucJcmani noted above, the spoil-heaps yielded 

 7. globata, Zeilleria Hughesi, and a broad form ; Aulacothyris carinata, feebly 

 sulcate ; Ehynchonella hampenensis, common ; Bh. angulata, Bh. subtetrahedra ; 

 and Acanthothyris spinosa : all except T. BucJcmani are indicative of the Upper 

 Trigonia-grit. 



There are two sections in Cranham Wood (' Buckholt '), one on 

 the right-hand side of the road from Birdlip to Painswick, the other 

 on the right-hand side of the road from Birdlip to Foston's Ash. 

 They are only a short distance apart, and both show the same 

 features. The following is a section of the last-mentioned quarry : —
