SHORT GEOLOGICAL GUIDE, 
ROUND LUDLOW. 
The district around Ludlow is most interesting to a 
student in Palaeozoic Geology, as it lies in almost the 
very centre of those formations. Upon the north-east 
and south-east sides, the Old Red Sandstone stretches 
out, in a nearly continuous plain, for many miles, except 
where it is broken up by the upheaval of the Titterstone 
and Brown Clee Hills, and a few minor ones; and upon 
the west, the Silurian rocks are well exposed m many 
fine and extensive sections. As my space is very limited, 
I shall only be able to notice a very few of the fossils 
deserving mention; but trust to name those that are 
most interesting, and characteristic of the different 
formations occurring in this neighbourhood, and also 
the best places to procure them, in a series of different 
walks and rides round Ludlow. 
Walk No. I. 
Ludlow stands upon two different formations, the 
Old Red Sandstone, and the Upper Ludlow ; the junc¬ 
tion beds between them run nearly straight up Old 
Street, the different rocks of which were well exposed 
during the recent excavations for draining the town. 
The Tin Mill Shale beds which are a part of these 
Junction beds, and the lowest members of the Red 
Sandstone formation, were readily to be examined while 
the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railroad was l^eing con-
