LOWER OOLITIC ROCKS OF ENGLAND : 
Quarries are to be seen here and there along the outcrop at 
South Brewham, Upton Noble, and to the west of Quar Hill 
Farm, near Witham Friary. West of South Brewham church, 
shelly and sandy limestone was exposed, and the rock proved to 
be slightly oolitic. At Upton Noble, hard limestone, suitable for 
building-purposes is obtained. There is a quarry south-east of 
West End, Wanstrow, and thence towards Frome we see few 
places where the beds are now worked, although old quarries are 
to be found at Mitchels Elm and other places. 
Near Frome the Cornbrash has been exposed west of Hodden, 
and again to the north-west of Berkley, but the quarries are 
shallow. The following fossils were found at Berkley : 
Ammonites Bakerise ? 
Avicula echinata. 
Cypricardia caudata. 
Ostrea Sowerbyi (abundant). 
Ostrea subrugnlosa ? 
Pholadomya deltoidea. 
Bhynehonella varians. 
Waldheimia lagenalis. 
One of the most fossiliferons sections was seen to the east of 
Langham Mill, to the north of the village of Road, where a shallow 
quarry showed the following beds : 
FT. IN. 
Brown clayey soil - - - 2 
(" Bubbly limestone and marls, with many 
Cornbrash -< fossils - - - - 5 
I Blue shelly limestone - - 2 
Some of the beds contain small hard nodules. To avoid repe- 
tition the fossils here obtained may be tabulated with those found 
in quarries near Tro \vhridge to the north-east.* Sower by obtained 
a number of fossils from Chatley, between Road and Norton St. 
Philip : Pecten vagans was figured from a specimen there found.

No sections of particular interest have been noted along the 
outcrop near Bradford-on-Avon and at South Wraxall. The 
thickness of the Cornbrash was proved to be 20 feet in a well
