Extract

The Middle Lias of Rutland, east Leicestershire, and north-west Northamptonshire was described by Judd in 1875 as comprisingan upper ferruginous member—-the Marlstone Rock Bed-—and a lowerargillaceous division of blue clays, often micaceous or sandy, and carryingbands of 'septaria' and of 'ironstone balls'. In the septaria he recordedthe occurrence of 'specular-iron, zinc-blende and pyrites'.

During the six-inch survey of one-inch New Series sheets 157 (Stam-ford) and 171 (Kettering) together with the adjacent parts of sheets 156(Leicester) and 170 (Market Harborough) a considerable area of thelower argillaceous division was mapped.
