Feet.  Inches. 
2.  The  ‘  Bored  Bed.’ 1  Grey  oolitic  limestone, 
much  bored  by  annelids  . 
3.2  Grey  oolitic  limestone.  The  equivalent  of 
the  ‘Notgrove  Freestone.’  Being  close  to 
the  surface,  it  is  split  into  thin  beds. 
Sonninince,  poor  casts  . 
4.  The  ‘  Dirt  Bed.’  Earthy  parting  . 
‘5.  The  ‘  Sandy  Bed.’  Oolitic  limestone,  with 
numerous  broken  shells  . 
•6.  The  ‘  Bottom  Bed.’  Ragstones  with  Gry- 
phcea  sublobata.  This  bed  is  in  two  seams, 
with  an  earthy  parting.  The  Ammonites3 
occur  in  this  parting  (so  said  the  work¬ 
men)  . 
'7.  Earthy  parting.  Ammonites3  occasionally 
( dixerunt  workmen)  . 
8.  The  ‘  Rockery  Bed.’  Ragstone,  with  nu¬ 
merous  specimens  of  Gryphcsa  sublobata... 
9.  Earthy  parting,  with  Gryphcsa ,  Sonninice  of 
the  jfissilobata-type  in  situ . 
10.4  ‘  Beds  below  the  Rockery.’  Two  beds, 
with  Gryphcsa  sublobata  abundant  . 
11.  Shelly  ragstone,  with  Trigonice,  bored  for 
some  inches  at  the  top  . 
12.  Yellow  sandy  limestone,  with  sandy  part¬ 
ings.  A  Gryphcsa  occasionally.  Terebra- 
tula  Buckmani  and  varieties .  about 
13.  A  bed  of  fine,  bright  yellow  sand,  like  the 
Cotteswold  Sands  . 
14.  Brown  limestone  in  thick,  compact  beds, 
with  Terebratula  Buckmani.  (These  beds 
are  almost  inaccessible.  They  are  on  the 
brow  of  the  hill,  by  the  windlass.)  . 
15.  ‘Lower  Trigonia-grlt.’’  Yellow  ironshot 
limestone,  mixed  with  marl  and  irregularly 
bedded.  Numerous  lamellibranchiata, 
especially  Mya,  Homomya,  Gresslya,  and 
the  like.  Several  Trigonice  and  Aulaco-

(1887) p.  111. 
2  Beds  2  and  3  are  called  by  the  workmen  ‘  The  Pitching.’  At  the  quarry 
near  the  brow  of  the  hill  they  measure  2  ft.  3  in.  in  thickness,  at  the  quarry 
on  the  left  only  1  ft.  2  in.,  and  there  they  are  bored  as  much  as  9  in.  verticallv. 
3  Several  large  Ammonites  had  been  recently  extracted.  One  18  in.,  one 
15  in.,  and  one  12  in.  in  diameter  were  noted,  as  well  as  several  smaller.  There 
were  at  least  three  species,  and  they  were  of  the  Sonninia  fissilobata-t\ pe, 
inclining  to  S.  ovalis.  The  condition  was  poor,  that  of  inferior  casts,  without 
anv  costse,  but  the  septa  were  well  shown.  Specimens  accurately  labelled  as  to 
horizon  ought  certainly  to  be  preserved  in  local  museums,  for  Ibe  information 
of  those  who  may  visit  the  district.  It  would  probably  be  found  that  there 
were  more  species  than  anyone  anticipated,  some,  perhaps,  not  known  elsewhere. 
4  Beds  6-10  form  the  ‘  Gryphite-grit.’  It  consists  of  five  beds  of  ragstone 
separated  by  earthy  partings,  the  Gryphcece  abundant  throughout. 
5  The  Gryphcece  found  in  Bed  15  have  not  so  large  and  well-developed  a 
wing  as  those  on  a  higher  level,  in  Beds  6  to  10  for  instance.
