whole forms one mass well cemented together, and that the 
Llandovery Sandstone belongs to the Breccia, having been found 
in the well at the Hill Tavern, Olent, 75ft. below the surface. 
I will now take the fossiliferous rocks. One great difficulty in 
collecting specimens is that there are so few sections. This 
involves taking specimens from the surface, which is always 
fraught with danger. That such is a danger on Wvchburv 
is clearly evidenced by the presence of a small piece of Criffel 
granite in a field on the top, called Dangerfield. I should 
like to know whether this granite has been found as far south 
as this before. On referring to Mr. F. W. Martin’s paper on 
“ Boulders of the Midland District,” Birmingham Philosophical 
Society’s Transactions, Vol. VII., Part 1, the nearest boulder to the 
Clent Hills, of this kind, that he mentions is at Enville, about five 
miles distant. The presence of many Quartz pebbles on the top 
of Wychbury also indicates that the Bunter Pebble Bed has once 
covered the Breccia here. We may, therefore, have on the surface 
of Wychbury, mixed up with the fragments belongingto the Breccia, 
fragments also belonging to comparatively recent glacial deposits 
and the Bunter Pebble Bed. The shape of the rock may, 
however, enable us to determine that it does not belong to the 
Pebble Bed. 
In making my collection, I have for these and other reasons 
always distinguished surface from quarry specimens, and also from 
what hill obtained. 
Wychbury.— There is only one quarry, through which several 
faults run. See general list for the fossils.* All of them are in 
fragments of Llandovery Sandstone, except those in a piece of 
Llandovery Beach Rock, i.e., the basement rock of that measure with 
included chips of Cambrian showing that it rested unconformably 
on that measure. The fossils in the Beach Rock are Petraici bina, 
Spinfera elevata , Favosites. The Llandovery Sandstone has often 
been found in the quarry. Several pieces of Llandovery Beach Rock 
with indistinct fossils and included pebbles of Lickey quartzite have 
been found there also. I have also found a large square block of
