Walk No. VIII. 
A short distance below the foot bridge that crosses 
(near to the Sheet House) the river Ledwyche, is a 
small section of Tin Mill Shale exposed on the side of 
the stream, containing Beyrichia , Lingula cornea , Leper- 
ditia marginata , a new species of Modiolopsis , and 
numerous fish fragments. 
Close by the summit of Caynham Camp is a large 
Aymestry limestone quarry, containing, along with other 
fossils, Strophome?ia depressa , Murchisonia corallii, 
Euomphalus alatus , Rhynchonella didyma , Wilsoni and 
navicula , Atrypa reticularis , and Stenopora fibrosa . 
Orthoceras angulatum has been found here, but it is 
very scarce. 
Walk No. IX. 
On the Common, near to Batchcott, opposite the 
Moor House, are two extensive quarries of Upper 1 
Ludlow rock. From the uppermost beds of the one I 
farthest to the south, several good heads and tails of 
Homalonotus Knightii have been procured ; Pterygotus \ 
and Ceratiocaris also occur, but very rare. In the upper ' 
section I have found a few specimens of the rather scarce 
fossil, Cyrtoceras compressum . From either of these 
quarries may readily be procured, in a good state of 1 
preservation, most of the characteristic species peculiar i 1 
to the formation. At the Bony Well is a small escarp- a 
ment showing the transverse symmetrical joints so 1 
peculiar to this rock. Old Drayton thus wrote of this 11 
well:— 
i 
“ With strange and sundry tales. 
Of all their wondrous things, and, net the least, in Wales, 
Of that prodigous spring (him neighbouring as he past) 
That little Ashes’ bones continually doth cast.’* 
There are several other sections of Upper Ludlow . 
and Aymestry limestone exposed further south, well '
