S. H. REYNOLDS ON THE [vol. lxxii, (c) Limeridge Wood, Tickenham. Probably owing to the visit having been made in the summerwhen vegetation was luxuriant, no exposures of igneous rocks weredetected when Dr. Lloyd Morgan and I were working at the Car-boniferous volcanic rocks of the Bristol district in 1903. A visit,however, paid in March 1913, showed that trap is fairly wellexposed on the border of Sir Johns Wood (the name of thesouthern portion of Limeridge Wood). The exposure is reachedby following Wood Lane (or, as it appears in the 1904 Ordnancemap, Old Lane), which diverges north-eastwards from the mainroad at the corner known as Luggards Cross. It may also beapproached across the field from Hales Farm, Tickenham exposure lies
