from the different layers of Inferior 
not separated : but nevertheless the 
follows : 
Pholadomya. 
Rhynchonella obsoleta. 
spinosa. 
subtetrahedra. 
Terebratula Buckmani. 
Phillipsi. 
sphseroidalis. 
Montlivaltia ? 
Thamnastraea ? 
Attention has been directed to this quarry by Mr. Hudleston, who 
obtained Cirrus gradatus from bed No. 2, which he groups with the sub- 
zone of A. Sowerbyi. 
Of much interest also is the shelly bed that occurs in the 
sands about 30 feet beneath the Dew Bed. From this layer, 
which was quarried for road-metal, Mr. Hudleston obtained 
Ammonites Moorei, A. radians, and Trigonia angulata.* From 
the same bed and the associated sands Mr. J. Rhodes obtained 
the following additional species : 
Belemnites Voltzi ? 
Astarte depressa. 
Lima strigillata. 
Pecten demissus. 
paradoxus. 
Pinna. 
Placunopsis. 
Plicatula tuberculosa. 
Tancredia angulata. 
donaciformis. 
Trigonia formosa. 
It is noteworthy that in the list published by Mr. Hudleston, Trigonia 
angulata is recorded ; in that of Mr. Buckman, T. literata is the one 
Trigonia mentioned ; and in the above list, a third species only is noted ! 
Truly the identification of species is fraught with difficulty. 
Yeovil to Milborne Port. 
At Yeovil Junction, by the London and South- Western 
Railway Station, in the cutting of the Great Western Railway, 
and also in the loop-line to the east, the Sand contains here and 
there beds of hard shelly limestone, composed chiefly of com- 
minuted shells, in addition to the ordinary bands and scattered 
nodules of sandy limestone or calcareous sandstone. 
These shelly limestones may also be seen in the road- cutting 
by Key, near Red House Inn, south of Yeovil ; in the lane east 
of Barwick House ; and in that to the west of Babylon Hill, a 
lane which connects the Yeovil and Sherborue Road with that 
leading from Yeovil to Bradford Abbas. Attention was called 
to these shelly layers by Prof. Buckman. f 
The chief interest attaching to these limestones, of which 3 or 4 
bands may sometimes be found, is that they indicate the change
