As pointed out by Mr. Wickes,* the Fossil-bed of Murrel is 
equivalent to bed No. 5 in the sectioii at Ancliff. The Murrel 
quarry was worked some seventy years ago, but has long been 
abandoned. Tumbled masses of the fossil-beds now strew the 
floor of the quarry, which extends for several hundred yards 
along the scarp : hence a rich treat is afforded to the collector. 
Among the Gasteropoda, Mr. Hudleston has identified Ceriihiu'm 
costigerum, Exelissa formosa, Rissoina acuta, R. duplicata, Turbo 
burtonensis, and Solarium turbiniforme. 
The thickness of the lower Rag beds evidently increases in 
this direction, to the north of Upper Westwood. 
The upper beds of the Great Oolite were exposed further 
north at Conkwell, as follows :

On Farley (at Farleigh) Down, and near Ashley Wood, north- 
west of Monkton Farley, there are several quarries and mines in
