The only other species found was Holectypus depressus ; but I 
was informed by Mr. W. A. Baily of Cirencester, that the 
specimens of Acrosalenia occurred in a cluster, and that he con-

now be found in the quarry.

The false-bedded oolite rests on a very uneven surface of the 
compact white limestones, which appear in greater thickness at 
the southern end of the quarry. The appearances point to some 
contemporaneous erosion of the stratn. About 10 feet more of 
oolite was at one time exposed at this quarry, as mentioned by
