3. “ Pendle”—consisting of hard. close limestone, very 
heavy and blue-hearted (a good rough building- 
stone), and of slaty or flaggy beds .........000+-+-s0c++- 4 6to 5 6 
The ‘‘Pendle” is divided into four divisions or beds: 
the upper two are each from 15 to 18 inches thick; 
beneath them is a bed of flags in about six layers, each 
6 to 9 inches thick; and below this is another bed of 
about the same thickness and character as the upper 
beds. A zone at the bottom of the last occasionally 
abounds with Echinobrissus, Acrosalenia, &e. 
4, Sandy band in thin layers, which sometimes assumes 
the character of an earthy shale-bed, and is sometimes 
argillaceous, containing numerous oysters having the 
shells preserved, and occasionally fish-palates ......... 0 9to 1 O

T have also obtained from this bed two specimens of a 
large smooth Ammonite, about 16 inches in diameter, 
probably of the same species as that from Kings- 
thorpe in the Baker collection in the British Mu- 
seum, referred to in my description of that section*.

The last three beds are below the level of the ordinary working, 
and are given only upon the report of the quarrymen. 
I have from this quarry (I think from one of the beds of the 
* Pendle,” No. 3) a fish, Pholidophorus Flesheri, Ag. Agassiz de- 
scribes and figures an example of this fish (Poissons Fossiles, tom. 2, 
p: 281, t. 3/7. “ie. 8), but gives as its bed and locality the “ Inferior 
Ovlite, Blisworth.” I have a strong impression, favoured by the 
appearance of the figure and its matrix in the plate, that Agassiz’s 
fish came from the same bed as mine, and that his, as well as my fish, 
belongs to the fauna of the Great, and not of the Inferior, Oolite. 
About a quarter of a mile N.W. of the Limestone Quarry is the Blis- 
worth Ironstone Pit at dd; of which the following is a section :—

* One of these Ammonites has been identified by Professor Bene F.G.S., as 
an old and smooth example of A. gracilis, Buckman.
