The following note is contributed by Mr L. Richardson : — Near the 
tram terminus on Cleeve Hill is Stockwell Green. In 1910 a well was sunk 
here in an endeavour to obtain an additional supply of water for Cleeve Hill. 
Fx'om Upper-Lias clay dug out, Mr Richardson obtained a piece of the am- 
monite Pevonoceyas bollense (Zieten). This ammonite indicates Fibulatuni- 
Zone — one of the smaller divisions made in recent years in the Bifrons- or 
Co»jmnnis-Beds of Northamptonshii'e. Its position will be seen from the 
following : — ' 
Oyster Bed. 
Braimianmn- j Middle Leda-ovum-'Beds. 
Zone I Lower Leda-ovum-'Beds. 
Unfossiliferous or Fibulatum-Zorxe.

A sharp look out should be kept in Gloucestershire for specimens of 
Leda ovum. 
The yield of the Stockwell Green spring gauged by continuous pumping 
for fourteen days and nights in May, 1910, was 5,712 gallons a day. 
Owing to the prevalent dip of the beds being away from the western 
side of Cleeve Hill, the springs on the western side are small. Thus ; — 
Gallons 
per day 
The spring on the cart-road to the south-east of the “ Rising 
Sun,” about 100 yards or so from the hotel, gauged in February, 
1909 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1728
