Abstract
The object of the present paper is to: point out the general geological characteristics of the different members of the Oolite rocks, as they occur in the Cotteswold Hills, and as regards the extension of the higher beds into parts of North Wilts. This will be done mainly with the assistance of two surveyed sections which were made purposely for this paper; one extending from the Vale of Gloucester through the bold Cotteswold scarp at Birdlip to the Chalk Hills in Wiltshire, in nearly a straight line from the N.E. to the S.W., to which is added a deviation to Swindon (Pl. VII.); the other from Cirencester, over the Oolitic wolds, and on through the Vale of Moreton to Shipton-on-Stour, in a direction nearly north and south.Keywords
