side of the river, to Bow Bridge, is well worth inspec¬ 
tion, as there is a continuous series of beds from the 
Do wnton sandstone to the Lower Ludlow. The Aymestry 
limestone is exposed in a very high cliff at the Bow 
Bridge, and there I found a few specimens of Lingula 
Symondsii and Lingula cornea. Nearlv at the extremity 
of the rock here exposed, close to a small stream that 
flows down a deep gully, is a small cliff, the beds of 
which are of a very hard nature, splitting into thick 
slaty masses of a deep olive colour, and contain several 
rare fossils, such as many different species of F-ucoids, 
two species of beautiful branched Graptolite spines of 
either star-fish or echinus, and Conularia bifasciata. 
Near Forge Bridge some very fine sections of Down- 
ton sandstone are exposed; from them have been 
procured some very perfect heads and portions, of the 
body of Pcerygotus Banksii , and P. problematicus, and 
some large slabs covered with Lycopodiaceous seeds, 
and containing large portions of carbonized wood. 
In the old Tin Mill Race, a little distance below the 
cottage, beds equivalent to those in the railway cutting 
are exposed, containing, in addition to their usual fossils, 
a small new Modiolopsis and a new Orthonota. Immed- 
i iately on the opposite side of the river the same beds 
can be examined very full of fish remains. 
Returning through the wood above Brick House 
farm, on the road to Ludlow, is a small quarry of upper 
Aymestry limestone, containing, in great abundance, 
Ecculiomphalus Icevis , Loxonema sinuosa , Holopella 
gr eg aria, and Mytilus mytilimeris . There also occurs 
here but not so numerously, remains of Pterygotus , 
Ceratiocaris, and a small Trilobite. There are several 
Upper Ludlow and Aymestry limestone quarries on the 
side of the road from here to Ludlow, all full of fossils, 
and close below Whitcliffe Coppice gate the bone bed 
may be again examined.
