Stonesfield Slate.-Second Report of the Committee, consisting of Mr. H. B. WOODWARD (Chairman), Mr. E. A. WALFORD (Secretary), Professor A. H. GREEN, Dr. H. WOODWARD, and Mr. J. WINDOES, appointed to open further sections in the neighbourhood of Stonesfield in order to show the relationship of the Stonesfield slate to the underlying and overlying strata. (Drawn up by Mr. EDWIN A. WALFORD, Secretary.) THE shaft sunk by the Committee in 1894 was reported by the workmen to be unsafe, and an unsuccessful attempt was made to find the old sinking of 1830 at Reed Hill, near Stonesfield, reported upon by Professor Ed. Hull. The work was ultimately continued upon the Stocky Bank shaft to a depth of 60 feet. At that depth it had penetrated 13 feet into one of the highest beds of the Inferior Oolite-the Clypeus-Grit (zone Ammonites Parkinsoni). It has proved the continuance not only of the compact barren limestones (sub-Bathonian) so well developed around Chipping Norton, but also of the sandy limestone beds between them and the Glypeus-Grit. The section, as before stated, has been made by scarping a bank for about 30 feet, and by sinking a shaft to a depth of 60 feet on the step of the It is practically a continuous section, only 2 or 3 feet intervening, laterally, between the ending of the one cut and the beginning of the other.

They contain fossils (excepting corals) similar to those found in the railway cutting at Ashford Bridge, barely a mile distant, and the clay courses are alike. Many authors report the slate to underlie the carbonaceous clays and coral bed in the Ashford Bridge cutting. The Stocky Bank is much faulted. In the open section at Reed Hill, as described by Mr. H. B. Woodward, the slate is covered by 5 feet of marls with Modiola gibbosa, Rhynchonella concinna, and Ostrea Sowerbyi. In the Stocky Bank section, in the near shafts, and in other open workings, the succession of strata is the same. In order to consider more fully the true position of the beds 16 to 26 and to study relative sections and their fossil contents, your Committee would defer the final report until 1896. The Fossil Phyllopoda of the Paleozoic Rocks.-Twelfth Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor T. WILTSHIRE (Chairman), Dr. H. WOODWARD, and Professor T. RUPERT JONES (Secretary). (Drawn up by Professor T. RUPERT JONES.) 1§. A SHORT provisional list of the Silurian Peltate Phyllopods was appended to our Report (the Tenth) for 1893; but since then a complete catalogue of the Lower Palæozoic Phyllopoda (Phyllocarida), with their geological horizons, their range and localities, has been made with the obliging help of Dr. C. Lapworth, F.R.S. This is now produced in four tables, as it greatly enhances the value of our Reports on these fossils, and will be of considerable use to palæontologists both at home and abroad.
