536 ME. T. C. CANTRILL ON SPIROKBIS-LIMESTONE, ETC., [Aug. 1 89 5, 



The on]y fossil that I have observed in the new band is the 

 Spirorbis pusillus (Mart.), formerly known as Spirorbis carbonarius 

 and Microconchus carbonarius. 1 Prof. T. Bupert Jonea and Dr. J. 

 W. Gregory have kindly examined specimens, and report that the 

 fossils are all apparently Spirorbis pusillus (Mart.), though a slightly 

 annulated variety. 



(3) Course of the Outcrop. 



We will now proceed to trace the outcrop as far as it is at present 

 known. The limestone has been found, so far, at the following 

 localities; most of them will be found named on the Geological 

 Survey map, sheets 55 jST.E. and 61 S.E. We will commence at the 

 south-east of the district and proceed towards the north-west; 

 observing that the points lie on ' Permian ' ground along a line 

 parallel to the basal boundary of the ' Permian ' and at a distance 

 therefrom depending on the amount of dip, fall of ground, and 

 presence or absence of faults : — 



1. Packet [=Parkatt] Wood, 3 miles N.W. of Kidderminster. 



2. Witnell's End. 



3. Belman's Cross. In place. Formerly worked and burnt. 



4. Bateman's Dingle, east of Upper Ai'ley. 



5. Nash End. 



6. Bainham's. In place. Formerly worked for road-stone. 



7. May House. In place. 



8. Little London. In place. Formerly worked and burnt. 



9. Arley Park ponds. In place. » 



10. Bromley Brook. 



11. Extons. 



12. Brooks opposite Stanley Cottages. 



13. Stanley Railway-cutting. In place. Interbedded. 



14. Little London Brook. 



15. Potter's Load. 



16. Brook near Hodge Nichols, north-west of Highley [=Higley]. 



17. Quarry House. 



18. Spadeley Bough, east of Chelmarsh. 



19. Bowels Dingle, east of Allum Bridge. 



Elaborate details of each of these exposures are unnecessary; it 

 will suffice if the more remarkable are noticed. 



Packet Wood. — There is a small isolated patch of ' Permian ' 

 rocks here, not noticed on the Geological Survey map. In the brook 

 are exposed some red sandstones and marls, with loose lumps of the 

 dark limestone. This is the only locality east of the Trimpley anti- 

 cline where the limestone has been found. On the west side, the 

 limestone occurs in a brook north of Witnell's End in the form of 

 loose lumps. 



Belmarfs Cross. — About 30 years ago the ^p'iror&'is-limestone was 

 worked and burnt for lime close to this place, though no traces of
