The general sequence of beds between Sarsden quarry and the 
Camp on the south, is probably as follows, but the sections on 
which it is based are small and isolated :

The thicknesses given are those actually noted in the several 
exposures. 
A section south-west of Chadlington Down Farm has already 
been described. (See Fig. 47, p. 152.) There the basement- 
clay of the Great Oolite rests unconformably on the Chipping 
Norton Limestone, for higher beds of that rock were shown beneath 
the clay on the eastern side of the quarry. From the overlying 
beds of Great Oolite, Mr. Hudleston, Mr. Walford, and Mr. J. 
Windoes have obtained many fossils. These higher beds of 
Great Oolite have also been exposed to the south of Chadlington 
Down Farm, and in quarries on either side of the road to the 
north-west of the Farm. The disused quarry on the western side 
of the road was known as " Keek's quarry " ; another quarry is 
situated about two miles east of the Farm ; and there are others 
along the road to the south of Glime Farm. The beds comprise 
nearly 20 feet of shelly oolitic limestones and marls, overlying 
false-bedded oolites, and they yield Nerin&a .Eudesi, and other 
Gasteropods, Cardium Stricklandi, Hornomya, Lima cardiiformis, 
Myacites, Ostrea acitminata, O. Sowerbyi, Pecten, Rhynchonella 
concinna, Terebratula maxillata, Cidaris, Acrosalenm, Anabacia, 
&c.* 
South of Enstone, and ag;iin to the north-west, we find the 
local basement-beds of the Great Oolite to consist of oolitic 
rubble, dark clay, and marl, and flaggy oolite and compact lime-
