most productive places is at a low cliff on the right 
bank of the brook, almost immediately facing a farm¬ 
house on the top of the hill. Here the trilobite Phacops 
caudatus is most abundant, with its eyes very perfect, 
and in their proper position in the head ; also two new 
specimens of Graptolithus, together with the shells, 
Orthoceras subundulatum , Ctenodonta sulcata , Cardiola 
fibrosa , a new Lunulucardium, and many others. 
Just beyond the gate leading into the wood, on the 
right of the brook, a small section is exposed on the 
side of the footpath, from whence I have procured the 
scarce trilobite Cyphaspis megalops , and a new branched 
coral ; the latter was first found by the Rev. J. D. 
LaTouche, near Stokesay. 
Close to the keeper’s house, at the back of Mr. 
Bridges, of the Lodge, the fern Poly podium phegopteris 
grows ; and all down the valley, Polypodium dryopteris 
occurs in profusion, together with Ixistrea dilatata , 
j Blechnum spicant , and most of the common kinds. 
A little distance above the house is an Aymestry 
limestone quarry, and just above one of Upper Ludlow. 
I do not know a better place than the latter for finding 
Piscina rugata and striata , Pterinea lineatula, Pterinea 
(new species), Cucullella antiqua , Ctenodonta Anglica , 
Belterophon expansus , and Orthoceras perelegans ; besides 
these Pterygotus problematicus , head of a Limuloides , 
Ceratiocaris robustus , Theca Forbesii , Ascoceras Barran- 
dii , Natica parva , Orthonota rigida , and Orthoceras 
imbricatum occur, but are much more rare. The view 
from this spot, looking up the deep narrow dingle, with 
its well wooded sides, and in the distance, right and 
left, the hills of Bringewood Chase and High Vinnall, 
is a most splendid one. I only wish that I could per¬ 
suade the lover of the beautiful and picturesque to pay 
a visit to the many charming views in and about this 
dingle.
