Rhsetic Beds. White Lias. 
The species included in brackets, were recorded by Tawney.* 
In addition to those mentioned, I obtained Ammonites Jamesoni, 
Pholadomya ambigua, and Pecten Pollux. 
Hunger quarry, south-east of Paulton, is situated south of the 
Coal-woiks (on the Lias), and between the two roads. It has, 
however, long been disused, and only a few of the upper beds were 
exposed to view in 1886, when I visited the locality under the 
guidance of the Rev. H. H. Winwood. The section was first 
described by Moore,f who obtained many fossils, while additional 
species have been recorded by Tawney J and Tate. These in- 
clude Ammonites Henleyi, A. Jamesoni, A. latcecosta, A. fimbria- 
tus, A. Ibex, A. Maugenesti, A. Valdani, A. raricostatus, A. 
Turneri, A. Johnstoni, Belemnites (several species), &c. I obtained 
Ammonites nitcscens (a Middle Lias form), and Lima succincta, 
from the upper beds, which no doubt represent the Middle Lias. 
A sandy bed with Spiriferina Walcotti, Gryphtea arcuata, and 
Belemnites, occurred at the base, resting on the White Lias. 
Another section in this neighbourhood, " about one mile south- 
east of Paulton," was noted in 1867 by Bristow and myself; it 
showed the following beds |j :
