136 . LOWER OOUTIC ROCKS OF ENGLAND : 
From bed 9 (the Road-stones of Cleeve Hill) Dr. Wright 
records Ammonites Brocchii, A. Braikenridgci, A. humphriesianus, 
and A. Sowerbyi, &c., an assemblage that recalls that noted at 
Dundry (see p. 100). As remarked by Dr. Holl, " at Cleeve a 
series of beds of very unstable character occupies the interval 
between the top of the Oolite Marl and the base of the Lower 
Ragstone." From his description it would appear that the Rolling 
Bank quarry was originally excavated through much debris, and 
that many of the fossils (which belong to the Lower Ragstone} 
were obtained from this tumbled material. The Rev. T. W. 
Norwood informed me that he obtained A. Sowerbyi and Tere- 
bratula Wrighti in an old quarry northeast of Hewlets, near 
Cheltenham. The large specimens of " Chcmnitzia Scemanni," 
noted by Dr. Wright, are identical with the Corallian species 
Bourguetia (Phasianella) striata* Examples of Pholadomya 
found at Cleeve Hill, attain large dimensions. 
The Freestone quarry showed the Upper Freestone overlaid by 
about 12 feet of sandy beds. 
The beds on Huntly Hill to the south-east of Cleeve Hill, are 
noted in a general way by Prof. Hull.t 
The general section of the Inferior Oolite Series at the northern 
. end of the Cotteswolds is as follows :

Sections of the Midford Sand are but rarely exposed. The 
beds were to be seen at Hewlets Hill, near Cheltenham, at Farm- 
cott Hill, south-east of Winchcornb, and in the valley at Kyneton, 
south of Temple Guiting, where their thickness was estimated at
