associates that I have found are 

 a small fragment of M. bohemicus 

 and one of M. chimcera (?) which 

 occurred at K (457 paces). Beyond 

 the gate (L) all exposures cease, 

 so that this section affords no 

 opportunity of examining the yet 

 d higher beds intervening between 

 "go this point and the Aymestry 

 I | Limestone. 



^•^ In the shales especially, the 



;s -g graptolites are for the most part 



<^£ well preserved, but even there

•S^4 Section. — The road from Elton 

 ^ ^ to Ludlow cuts through both the 

 Wenlock and Aymestry Lime- 

 stones, and exposes a fairly good 

 section through the middle part of 

 the Lower Ludlow Shales. Here,
