“ There can be no doubt that the Pendleside series of the Midlands represents the Lower Culm of Codden Hill, north Devon, and the Lower Culm of the continent of Europe. The faunas in these localities have the same biological succession as in the midlands. ”

“ These limestones and shales contain a distinct fauna which appears for the first time in the Midlands, characterized by Pterinopecten papyraceus, Posidoniella laevis, Posidonomya Becheri, Posidonomya membranacea, N omismoceras roliforme and Glyphioceras striatus. Immediately below beds with this fauna are thin limestones with Proiecanites compress us, Strabaceras bisulcatus, many trilobites, and corals referable to the genera Cyathaxonia, Zaphrentis and Amplexizaphrenlis. ”
