Read before a General Meeting of The Society held in the

BY the kindness of F. J. Morris, Esq., of Forres Park, I 
was able to make a second visit to the Springvale 
Quarry and also have a general look at the country in the 
neighbourhood which I had not seen for some years. This 
enabled me to gain some additional information of impor- 
tance in settling the position, &c- of the Springvale Shell- 
bed. Indeed, I found that the bed named was really an 
outcrop of the the same series as that discovered by the late 
Louis Alexander Leroy, the fossils from which I have 
already described and named. Mr. Morris took me to the 
Quarry where I found that the later excavations had 
revealed the thickness dip and position of the Shellbed. 
It was apparently from three to four feet thick. The 
dip was about 30 degrees to the N.W. The Shellbed lay 
conformably upon which I might call a mudbed; a stratum 
of impure clay with comminuted shells. These observa- 
tions bring the Springvale Shellbed into line with the 
Caroni series as laid down by Wall and Sawkins in the 
Geological Report on Trinidad, 1860, pp. 43, 45. The
