ABSTRACT LONDON. Geological Society, November 3.—Sydney S. Buck-man: Jurassic chronology (iii.): Some faunal horizons in Cornbrash. Faunal dissimilarity within strata of a supposedly


synchronous time-unit, the Cornbrash, were observed about seventy years ago, but were not understood. Series of faunal analyses of the brachiopod species south of the Humber disclose a


series of syn-clines, anticlines, and various non-sequences in the strata of the South Humbrian Cornbrash. The divisions of Cornbrash time on the basis of brachiopods and of ammonoids are


compared and also the Cornbrash and the inferior oolite. If the time-value of brachiopod species be the same in the Cornbrash as in the inferior oolite—and there is every reason that it


should be—then the Cornbrash must have taken in deposition a time far in excess of that of the middle and upper inferior oolite, with all its numerous ammonoid hemera. Access through your
