Milborne Port to Doultiag, Glastonbury, Brent Knoll, and the 
Mendips. 
North of Milborne Port and Sherborne, the Inferior Oolite 
forms a comparatively broad tract, being repeated to some extent 
by a fault which raises the beds at Crackment and Pointirigton 
Hills. The comparatively flat dip-slope, near Charleton Hore- 
thorne, forms an arable tract, sheltered by the higher escarpment 
of the Forest Marble. 
The general strike of the beds is now diverted from N.E. to N., 
and we find some changes in the beds. The lower fossiliferous 
zones are not known in the rich form exhibited near Sherborne 
and Bradford Abbas ; while the higher zone of Ammonites Par- 
kinsoni is more prominent, and contains Rltynchonella spinosa in 
great abundance, together with Trigonia, Trie kites, Clypeus 
altus, and other fossils. The lithology of the beds affords no 
guidance to special horizons. We find iron-shot beds at all stages. 
The Midford Sand is shown here and there in deep lane-cut- 
tings, as between Woolston and Woolston Farm, and north of 
Blackford. The lower beds contain bluish shaly beds, as near 
Yeovil. East of Woolston Farm there are quarries showing the 
following beds :
