Walk No. YI. 
The walk this day leads to the High Vinnall hill, 
which is almost entirely composed of Lower Ludlow 
rock ; one fine section is exposed in a quarry on the 
west side near the summit; the beds here are of a thin 
slaty nature, and contain but few fossils of much interest. 
A small species of Graptolite occurs here in profusion, 
and Lingula lata , Leptoena or Chonetes Icevigata , and 
Orthoceras subundulatum , may be found. I once obtained 
from here two very perfect specimens of the rare cepha- 
lopod, Lituites articulatus , and from the cutting in the 
cart-road just .behind this quarry, one specimen of 
Cyphaspis megalops. A most splendid section of Lower 
Ludlow may be examined about a mile from here, in 
Elton and Evenhay’s Lane. In some of the beds near 
to a cottage, about half way down the road, portions of 
Phacops caudatus swarm ; heads and tails are most 
numerous, and in the former the eyes are often preserved 
in a perfect condition, but I have never found an entire 
specimen here. A new species of bent Graptolite is 
pretty common in these beds, and Acidaspis coronatus 
and Phacops Downingii should be looked for, several of 
each having been found. The Shells Loxonema elegans , 
Lunulucardium (new species), several species of Ortho - 
ceratites, Murchisonia Lloydii, Ctenodonta sulcata , 
Lituites giganteus and tortuosus, Cardiola interrupta, 
fibrosa, and striata, with many other new and rare 
forms, are in this lane to be procured. At the lower 
end of the lane are two small quarries of Wenlock 
limestone, but they are very barren in fossils. 
I trust that all collectors of fossils will pay this place 
a visit, as there is no other in the neighbourhood of 
Ludlow where so fine a section of this rock is exposed, 
and where so many rare/fossils, and in such a good 
state of preservation, can De so easily collected.
