and also above Upper Barrel Farm, where it is inverted and 
dips 55 0 east-north-east. 
The Yartleton beds wrap round the southern end of May 
Hill, but are rarely seen in situ there. But to the north of 
Old Oaks Farm an east and west fault cuts through the Silurian 
beds, and a very fair section of the Yartleton beds is seen in 
the coarse of a stream running down to Hay Farm. Here they 
dip to the north-north-west and are very fossiliferous. 
Along the western side of the Huntley Hill ridge the fine 
sandstone is to be seen at several places : — 
(1) By the old road opposite Dursley Cross Inn. 
(2) In the track which runs north-east from the Longhope- 
Gloucester road just below Zion Chapel. 
(3) In some old workings to the north of the Slade. 
(4) By the side of the Gloucester road in Little London. 
(5) On the slopes of Nottswood Hill to the south of the last 
locality. 
A specimen of the Yartleton Sandstone was analysed by 
G. Embrey, F.I.C., F.C.S., and found to contain : — 
Silica 89- 5 
Magnesium Silicate -47 
Aluminium Silicate . . . . . . -99 
Ferric Oxide 4-7 
Sodium Chloride -7 
Loss on ignition 3-6

3. THE WOOLHOPE LIMESTONE. 
This limestone occurs as a bed of variable thickness between 
the Llandovery Sandstone and the Wenlock Shales. It is 
never in the form of a massive limestone, but is always in layers 
which are some three or four inches thick, and are often 
separated from one another by partings of shale. 
In colour the rock is a brown-green, it is of a fine texture, 
and shows no crystalline structure to the eye. At some places.
