INFERIOR OOLITE SERIES : NOTGROVE. 1 33 
The cutting west of Notgrove station showed the following beds :

peus Ploti abundant, Pholadomya -50

South-east of Eoundhill Farm the following beds were shown :

acuminata, Trigonia - - 8 
Coarse rubbly oolitic and marly lime- 
stones, with Clypeus Ploti (Clypeus 
L Grit). 
The Clypeus Grit Avith its characteristic Urchin, was well exposed. 
The overlying beds, which are first seen in the cutting east of Notgrove 
Station, thicken eastwards, and probably represent the Chipping Norton 
Limestone. Attention was first drawn to them by Mr. E. A. Walford,* 
who remarks on the Bathonian aspect of that limestone, and compares it 
with the "White Oolite" of Witchell, that 'occupies a similar position 
above the Clypeus Grit in the Stroud district. (See p. 149.) 
Returning to the western side of the Cotteswold Hills we come 
to the well-known sections at Cleeve Hill or Cleeve CJoud. Beds 
belonging to the Pea Grit Series crop out on tjp.e slope of the hill 
and stand out in thick massive layers irregu^riy modified by the 
action of the weather. (See Fig. 44.) 
The lowest beds of the Lower Freestone consist of false- 
bedded oolite with Annelide borings, Rhynchonella, Polyzoa, &c. ; 
and at their base are thick and ragged beds of shelly oolite, 
termed the Polyzoa Bed by Messrs. Buckman and Wethered.
