VOL. XX. (3) THE SILURIAN ROCKS OF MAY HILL 195 
All this makes it impossible to assign the Huntley Quarry 
beds, with the certainty that Dr. Callaway expressed, to the 
Longmyndian. The present evidence is insufficient to enable 
one to come to any definite conclusion. 
On the one hand we have to remember that : — 
(a) The rocks in the Huntley Quarry and close to it are 
certainly in a hand specimen somewhat unlike the undoubted 
Llandovery rocks exposed anywhere else in the district. They 
are in general of a finer texture and of a different colour. 
( b ) They are seen in sections to contain fragments of igneous 
rocks which are not found in the undoubted Llandovery rocks. 
(c) They are seen nowhere else in the area. 
But on the other hand we can also state that : — 
(a) The Huntley Quarry rocks contain bands not very 
unlike the undoubted Llandovery coarse sandstone either in 
hand specimens or in sections. 
(j 3 ) That ashy rocks of Llandovery or Wenlock age are 
found not far to the south. 
(-y) That the Longmyndian rocks found in the Malvern 
district 12 miles to the north show no similarity to these Huntley 
Quarry beds . 1 
(g) The evidence that these beds are the lowest in the May 
Hill area is weak. 
At the same time, as regards there is no evidence that 
the Huntley Quarry beds come at the top of the Llandovery 
series, and nowhere in this district are ashy beds seen at the top 
of the Llandoveries or at the base of the Wenlocks, though 
exposures in beds of these ages are not uncommon. 
2 . THE LLANDOVERY BEDS. 
(a) Huntley Hill Beds. 
These are seen along two stretches of country, a northern 
one which is occupied by the higher parts of May Hill and a 
southern one in which are Bright’s Hill, Huntley Hill and 
Nottswood Hill.
