Discission. 



The President expressed his regret at the absence of the Author, 

 and his thanks to the Secretary, Mr. Teall, for the excellent summary 

 that he had given of a very large and important paper containing a 

 great amount of valuable and detailed information on the Mid- 

 Cotteswold area. The Author gave a careful record of a large number 

 of sections, showing the succession of the beds, and illustrating his 

 views on the ' Bajocian denudation,' which could be followed with 

 interest by all his hearers ; but when he entered upon the question 

 of the ammonite-fauna, he used so technical a nomenclature that 

 only those who had learnt its significance in detail could readily 

 follow his views. 



Mr. H. B. Woodward complimented the Author on his careful 

 detailed work, and said that he differed from him mainly on matters 

 of nomenclature, and not with regard to the general succession of 

 the strata and their fossils. Months upon months of labour in each 

 quarry would, however, be necessary to test the value of the minute 

 divisions made by Mr. Buckman. Without such prolonged work 

 one could not tell how the distribution of fossils might vary in each 

 layer of rock, and he would hesitate to regard the absence of any 

 hemerae as indicative of a break in the series of strata. 



The Rev. H. H. Winwood also spoke.
