These beds appear to belong to the upper part of the Great 
Oolite, for the Cornbrash was noted not far above. Sandy beds 
are also associated with the white limestones at South End, south 
of Leckhanipstead ; and probably the beds of " Cornbrash " with 
corals, noted by Prof. Green on the Stony Stratford road near 
Buckingham, should be included with the Great Oolite.* The 
beds seem to agree with those at Akeley. 
In Long Copse, N.N.W. of Wicken, the Uedg are rich in 
fossils (as noted by Prof. Green) ; and Modiola imbricata, Ostrea 
Sowerbyi, Triyonia, and Unicardium may be found. j There are 
faulted remnants, I believe, of Oxford Clay, hereabouts, to which 
reference will be made in the volume on the Middle and Upper 
Oolites. 
Sections showing the junction with beds that present the aspect 
of Forest Marble, have been shown at Lillingston Lovell and
