Vol. 59.] AT COWLEY, NEAR CHELTENHAM. 387 



mile to the north-east by north is another quarry, yielding the 

 following section : — 



Quarry near Brimpsfield. 

 (Seven-tenths of a mile south-west by west of the Church.) Thickness in 



Feet inches. 



(\. Greyish, shelly limestone; Terebratula 



globata, Zeilleria Rughesi, Rhynchonella 



angulata, Acanthothyris spinosa, Tri- 



Upper J gonia, Avicula, Ctenostreon ; Oppelia, 



Trigonia-Gb.it. ] subcostata 19 inches above the Upper 



Freestone 8 



I 2. Brownish earthy layer, with pebbles of 



[_ Upper Freestone 4 



f 3. Hard, whitish, oolitic freestone, top-bed 

 Upper Freestone. < bored ; Terebratula fimbria noticed 2 feet 



8 inches down; (visible) 3 3 



The horizon at which Terebratula fimbria occurs in this section 

 appears to be about the same as in the previous one. Provisionally, 

 we may conclude that the anticlinal axis runs south of these 

 quarries. The reduction to the south-east from Dunley to Brimps- 

 field is w T hat would be expected, as in that direction the Upper 

 Freestone must become thinner until the Upper Trigonia-Grit rests 

 upon the Oolite-Marl. 



The third section may be constructed by piecing together the 

 evidence afforded by the quarry on the south side of the road from 

 Birdlip to Prinknash, and by the quarried face of the hill im- 

 mediately to the north thereof, on the other side of the road : — 



Quarry south of the Birdlip and Prinknash Eoad,
