During my visits to West Bay, Bridport, in the years 1887 and 1888, I was able to examine the following inland sections of the Lias Junction Bed, and I communicated a paper to the British Association at Leeds in 1890; an abstract of this paper appeared in the Report. I had hoped to obtain more evidence of the nature of this deposit, but, unfortunately, last year, 1891, I found that the working of the Allington brickfield was being abandoned, and that it was difficult to further work the roadside cuttings without doing considerable damage. I therefore think it better to lay before the readers of the Geological Magazine my notes on this deposit, which I shall be able to show is variable in different sections, due to the amount of denudation which has taken place.
