SILURIAN FOSSILS FROM LOCALITIES IN TORTWORTH. 
Many exposures occur in the bed of the little stream, which, flowing 
in a north-easterly direction, joins the Little Avon near Ebury Hill. 
The lower trap band is well exposed in the stream and field to the 
south, and to the east of the trap band and dipping under it at a low 
angle is calcareous sandstone with Coelospira hemispherv'a. To the 
west, and therefore overlying the trap band, is red micaceous sandstone, 
in which occurred ; — 
Coelospira hemispherica 
Strophomena compressa 
Chonetes striatella var. 
Horiostoma glohosum 
Phacops weaveri 
Tentaculites sp. 
Crinoid stems 
To the west of the railway line Llandovery sandstone, dipping at 
30° to 35° W.S.W., occurs in the bed of a little stream about midway 
between Vine Cottage and Hillhouse Farm, and yielded Atrypa reticu- 
laris. A short distance further north at Fowler’s Court Farm, there is a 
considerable exposure of Llandovery dipping 10° W. 15° S. Here we 
obtained the following fossils : — 
Encrinurus sp. 
Cornulites scalariformis ? 
Spirifer sp. 
Stricklandinia sp. 
Leptcena rhomboidalis 
Rliynclionella serrata 
Lindstrcemia sp. 
(2) THE WENLOCK ROCKS. 
(a) The Whitfield and Falfield areas. 
By far the most important locality for Wenlock fossils in the district 
is Whitfield, where there are two old quarries, one to the east of 
Brinkmarsh lane (Ptifle Cottage quarry), one to the west (Brinkmarsh 
quarry). Many fossils from these quarries are in all the principal 
collections, as is- shown by the following list : — 
R. = Rifle Cottage quarry. W. = Whitfield or Brinkmarsh quarry.
