The above paper, read before the Geological Society on the 27th May last, having just reached my hands, with the discussion, I trust you willallow me to make some observations thereon, not having been present on the occasion. As my name does not appear once throughout the paper it might at first sight be considered unnecessary, if not impertinent, for me to take any direct notice of its contents. I must therefore ask permission to state the reasons for this communication as briefly as may be, and they may be summed up in a single sentence—that, being responsible as the officer of the Survey who carried out the geological mapping of the Cotteswold Hills and of the outlying Bredon Hill, I cannot allow reflections on its accuracy to pass unanswered.

I shall not forget the day, some time in 1855, on which Dr. Wright took me up with him to Frocester Hill to collect specimens from the Cephalopoda bed which are there so abundantly stored away in nature's museum. It was a revelation to me to see forms of Ammonites, which I knew to be Upper Liassic, come forth from the base of the Oolitic cliff.
