as in the Dursley Cross road-cutting, it becomes more of a 
calcareous sandstone than a limestone. 
To the south of Aston Ingham at Newhouse Farm Woolhope 
Limestone is seen dipping under the Wenlock Shales to the east, 
but is cut off to the west and south by faults. 
To the south two bands of Woolhope Limestone can be 
traced in the region to the west of Hay Farm. There is an 
exposure in the stream west of the farm where the more easterly 
band is seen dipping off Llandovery beds ; the other band is 
traceable by numerous blocks of limestone, though no actual 
exposures of the rock are to be seen. As the Llandovery beds 
between the two bands of limestone are dipping westwards 
there must be a strike fault causing a repetition of the sand- 
stones and the limestone. 
Farther to the south there is a band of limestone seen below 
Old Oaks Farm lying on Llandovery beds, which are exposed 
at the farm itself. These beds all dip westwards ; but lower 
down the hillside, above Upper Barrel Farm, Llandovery beds 
and Woolhope Limestone are again seen, and here they dip to 
the north-north-east, the latter being almost vertical. The 
arrangement of the beds here is explained by the accompanying 
section (C). Two fine specimens of Orthoceras Annulatum were 
found in the limestone here. 
To the south of the Rock Farm Fault Woolhope Limestone 
used to be well exposed in the Ross road cutting close to Dursley 
Cross, but the cutting is now much overgrown. Near Little 
London it can be seen by the side of the Gloucester road, where 
it is vertical at its most westerly exposure, but dips 50° west- 
south-west off Llandovery Sandstone at its most easterly one. 
At about 300 yards to the north of these exposures there is an 
old track leading up Huntley Hill, and in it Woolhope Limestone 
is well exposed. The dip here is from 65° to 8o° to the east- 
south-east, and the limestone must be bent sharply along a 
strike fault ( vide Section B). 
Still farther to the south, though the presence of the lime- 
stone may be inferred from blocks of it in the woods, it is not 
till a spot about 400 yards north of Blaisdon Church that it is 
actually seen in situ. Here its dip is low to the south-west,
