Programme. 
11*30 a.m.— JEjcursion to 
(1) — White Nab and Cornelian Bay, along the South Shore. 
(2) — To Horner's Quarry, Falsgrave (Geological), to inspect the Cornbrash, 
Permission to visit the quarry has kindly being granted by Mr. E. 
Horsman. Both excursions start from the Museum at 11-30 a.m. 
Mr. D. W. Bevan writes : — The Quarry to be visited is in a hillside facing 
Oliver's Mount, the two enclosing the little Valley called Ramsdale. Members 
interested in the glaciation of this district should refer to Prof. Kendall's paper 
for his views on this Valley. Quarterly Journal. — Geol. Soc, No. 231, p. 553 
et seq. The bottom of the valley cuts deeply into the Upper Estuarine 
Shales, worked in the quarry for brick making. The Shales are overlaid by the 
Cornbrash, of which there is a good section. It consists for the most pari of 
a very hard irony limestone full of fossils in splendid condition, but very 
difficult to get out, including large numbers of Lima rigida, L. gibbosa, Pecten 
demissus, P. lens., Goniomya, V-seripta, Ostrea jiabelloides and Macrocephalites 
tnacrocephalus (Am. Herveyi). The blocks of Cornbrash, falling as the shale 
is cut away, are broken up at intervals by blasting, and these are the best times 
to obtain fossils. Standing in t le quarry and looking across to Oliver's Mount, 
one can easily trace the outcrop of the Cornbrash, as a hump half-way down 
the hill, left by the weathering of the Estuarine below, and the Kellaway and 
Oxford Clay above, while the steep summit is kept by the Calcareous Grit. 
The Kellaway is also seen at the top of our quarry, but the Oxford Clay 
has been removed so thoroughly that a strip of gently-sloping cultivated land 
lies on this side of the Valley between the outcrop of the Kellaway and that of 
the Calcareous Grit. 
On looking again at Oliver's Mount, the Cornbrash along with the other 
beds, is seen dipping to the south. It soon reaches the high-road, where its 
durabi ity forms a conspicuous hump, and attains sea level a little farther south, 
where in Cayton Bay there is another good collecting ground for Cornbrash 
fossils.
