The fourth part extends as far as Flaxley. Here the Silurian 
beds are faulted against the Trias to the east, and no doubt the 
Old Red Sandstone to the west rests conformably on Downton 
beds, but these are not now exposed there. Near Flaxley the 
Old Red Sandstone, Ludlow and Wenlock beds show inversion. 
Besides being seen along this long strip of country, Silurian 
beds are also seen (1) to the north round Clifford’s Mesne, where 
Downton Sandstone is seen underlying Old Red Sandstone and 
overlying Ludlow beds, and (2) in a tract which runs north and 
south to the east of Glasshouse, where Wenlock Shales are 
occasionally seen.

I. THE HUNTLEY QUARRY BEDS (? PRECAMBRIAN). 
When one has gone westwards from the village of Huntley 
for about two-thirds of a mile along the Ross road a small 
quarry is to be seen on the right by the roadside. Here red 
Triassic Sandstone is seen which dips io° east, while about 
200 yards farther on is another quarry in hard green and purple 
rocks, which are of the nature of grits and dip almost vertically. 
These latter rocks will be referred to as the Huntley Quarry beds. 
In passing from the one quarry to the other one has crossed 
the great fault which separates the Trias from the older rocks 
to the west. The Huntley Quarry beds were noted by Phillips
