438 LOWER OOLITIC ROCKS OF ENGLAND: 
The Cornbrash is exposed here and there in quarries at Sutton 
Bingham, Clo.seworth, Ryme, and Yetminster. The beds are 
shown to a depth of from 5 to 10 feet, and are usually very fossil- 
iferous. A fine collection of specimens was made by the Rev. E. 
Bower, of Closeworth, from which locality remains of Steneosaurus 
were obtained.* 
At Weston, between Sutton Bingham and Closesvorth, the- 
following section was exposed :

limestone - - -10 to 20

Cornbrash - Blue-hearted earthy limestones 3 
This section corresponds with that seen between Rodden and 
Langton Herring (p. 436). 
A somewhat similar section of clays overlying Cornbrash lime- 
stones, and filling pipes in the rock, was exposed in a quarry 
south-east of tbe Barn, between Closeworth and Melbury Osmund.. 
The following section, seen in a quarry by the high road east 
of Closeworth, is deserving of notice, as it shows the presence of 
clay-beds in the Cornbrash :

From this quarry I obtained the following fossils: 
Natica (a few badly preserved 
specimens). 
Avicula echinata (abundant). 
Gresslya peregrina. 
Homomya crassiuscula ? 
Isocardia minima. 
Modiola Lonsdalei. 
Myacites (abundant). 
Ostrea Sowerbyi (abundant). 
Pecten demissus. 
Pholadomya ovalis. 
Rhynchonella concinna (many 
specimens compressed). 
Terebratula intermedia. 
maxillata. 
Waldheimia obovata. 
Echinobrissus clunicularis. 
orbicularis. 
Serpula tetragon a. 
At Yetminster I obtained Waldheimia lagcnalis in addition to- 
many species found also at Closeworth. Other quarries may be seen 
at Long Burton, south of Sherborne, and from this neighbourhood 
180 species of fossils were collected from the Cornbrash, by the 
Kev. H. H. Wood.f 
There are several quarries in the neighbourhood of Bishops 
Caundle, one of which near the high-road to the south-west of the
