Notes. — Parkinsonia  Garantiana,  P.  dorsetensis ,  and  Strigoceras  Truellii , 
loose — collected  by  the  workmen  from  the  quarry.  ParZcinsonia  and  fossils  of  the 
‘  Fossil  Bed  ’  of  Halfway  House  begin  about  7  feet  above  the  ‘  Building-stone  ; 
but  their  principal  bed  is  about  12  feet  from  the  top  of  the  quarry.  Aulaco- 
thyris  ‘  Meriani  var.’  was  found  solitary  in  situ  at  about  6  and  again  at  about 
12  feet  above  the  ‘  Building-stone.’  Clusters  of  this  fossil  could  not  be  traced, 
although  there  was  evidence  of  them  in  loose  blocks.  Ancyloceras  sp.  occurs 
7  feet  above  the  ‘Building-stone.’
