(/) Brown sandstone and sandy shales like the rock 
seen in the quarry. 
The beds which lie above (/) have not yielded Dayia navicula 
so far. 
The following plan makes the succession as now seen clear. 
PLAN OF LUDLOW BEDS AND DOWNTON SANDSTONE SEEN 
BY SIDE OF BLAISDON ROAD. 
(Scale about 4 yards to an inch.) 
The section in the railway cutting just below the road is 
the one described by Strickland in 1852. 1 He regarded the 
succession from the Old Red Sandstone to the Ludlow beds as 
a conformable one, and his description of the beds tallies in 
every way with what can now be seen. 
Beyond Veit House, which lies 600 yards to the north of the 
section just described, Ludlow beds are seen at the edge of the 
wood, where they, are very fossiliferous, in a stream bed below

Soc., vol. viii. (1853), p. 381. Murchison in Siluna (1854), p. 237, refers to this cutting and mentions 
41 two thin bone beds each little more than an inch thick and separated by about 15 feet of fossil- 
ferous Upper Ludlow rock.”
