Extract

As Mr. E. Hull of the Geological Survey, in his ‘Geology of the Country around Cheltenham’ (1857), p. 24, complains of the scarcity of sections of the Upper Lias in that district, and as a section in the Railway, near Oddington and Stow-on-the-Wold, exhibits a section of Liassic clays, which appear to me to belong to the upper series, I beg to offer you the following rough but accurate account of the bed there exposed.

The list of fossils has been made with the assistance of a geological friend in London.
