ResumoSince publication of a stratigraphical survey of the Cornbrash twenty to twenty-five years ago (Douglas & Arkell, 1928; 1932; see also 1935), complete new sections have been studied in southern Somerset (Sutton Bingham, near Yeovil), northern Somerset (Frome), and Northamptonshire (between Oundle and Wansford). They add considerably to what was previously known and have an important bearing on problems of faunal succession discussed in the previous papers, and since all the sections are temporary and will be filled in or grassed over, it seems desirable to record what was seen and the fossils that were collected when they were fresh. They include both the thickest (35 ft.) and thinnest (0 to 6 in.) developments of Cornbrash ever exposed and recorded.
