Extract

This district is of especial interest from the palæontological point of view in that the different members of the Upper Trias each afford a representative though not extensive flora and fauna. The scantiness of the material, in so far as the Lower Keuper and in some respects the Dane Hill Series are concerned, is due rather to the absence of good sections. This cannot, however, be said of the Rhætic beds, for the section at Glen Parva is one of the finest in the Midlands.
