September 9th, 1868.— The fifth walk of the Section, the destination of 
which was Dundas, took place on this day. About seventeen members and 
visitors were present. The party left Bristol by rail for Limpley-Stoke, 
from whence they walked to Dundas. The quarry was found to be quite 
overgrown with vegetation, but a little searching revealed the bed of Upper 
Lias, which is only about one foot in thickness, and immediately underlies 
the Inferior Oolite. 
Amongst the Fossils obtained from the Upper Lias bed were the following 
Lingula Beanii, Avicula incequivalvis, Ammonites serpentinus, Ammonites 
bifrons or Walcotti and Ammonites crassus. 
The Eev. H. H. Winwood acted as guide, and supplied the names of the 
fossils obtained, and also explained the peculiarity of the beds. This consists 
in the absence of the Liassic (or Oolite) sands, which are in some localities 
of enormous thickness, but here entirely wanting. 
Sept. 23rd. — The sixth walk of the season was taken on this day. 
Sixteen Members and Visitors attended. 
The party left Bristol by rail for Bathampton, whence they walked, via 
Bathford, to the quarries on Farleigh Down. There some fossils were 
obtained from the Oolite and Bradford clay. 
Attention was directed to a curious recent conglomerate containing flints, 
&c. The cementing portion of this substance being carbonate of lime, 
evidently deposited by infiltration. 
Although late in the season, the weather proved very fine, and a very 
enjoyable afternoon was spent. 
The party returned to Bristol by an early train.
