Witchell estimated the total thickness of the Inferior Oolite at 
236 feet : including the uppermost bed:?, not above noted ; the 
full thickness may be about 250 feet. 
The thickness of the Sands was estimated at 20 feet by Prof. 
Hull, but the beds have not been clearly exposed ; for the lower 
strata along the scarp are much obscured by oolitic rubble, which 
is used as "gravel "for mending paths. The harder pisolitic 
limestones are employed for building walls and for road-metal. 
Many of the pisolitic granules are covered with Polyzoa, in- 
dicating paucity of sediment and slow accumulation of the beds. 
At or near the top of the Pea Grit Series there is usually a 
marked Polyzoa Bed, but here and there at lower horizons similar 
beds occur. A weathered slab obtained by Mr. J. J. H. Teall 
from the top of the series, contained the following fossils, which 
were identified by Mr. G. Sharman : Lima, Ostrea, Acrosalenia, 
Pseudodiadema, Pcntacrinus cingulatus ?, Diastopora, Heteropora, 
and Entalophora (Spiropora) straminea. 
The Crustacean, Eryma elcgans(Guisci), was found in the Oolite 
Marl of Leckhampton ;* such remains are rare, but an example 
of the same genus was lately found at Dundry, by Mr. H. W. 
Monckton, and it has been obtained at Cleeve Hill, and also at 
Chideock in Dorset. 
Northern and Eastern Cotteswolds Cleeve Cloud, Bredon Hill, 
Chipping Campden, and Bnrford. 
The cuttings on the railway between Andoversford and Ohed- 
worth exhibited some fine sections of the Inferior Oolite, the 
records of which may be summarize-! as folio \vsf : 
* Wright, Proc. Cotteswold Club, vol. viii., p. 58. The species is regarded by 
Mr. J. Carter as E. elegans. 
f The sections have also been described in detail by Mr. S. S. Buckman, Proc. 
Cotteswold Club, vol. x. p. 94.
