Abstract

This thesis is an account of the structure of the Silurian rocks lying to the vest of the Malvern and Abberley Hills, but it has been impossible to confine interests to the Silurian rocks alone, since many of the answers to the structures lie within the neighbouring formations. Therefore, this thesis also concerns itself, in a lesser degree, with other associated problems.
The area described lies between Great Witley in the north and Hereford Beacon in the south, a distance of 16 3/4 miles, and occupies the Ordnance Survey 6 inch maps:
Worcestershire Sheet XX. S.E. Worcestershire Sheet XXXII S.W.
“ “ “ XXVII N.E. “ “ “ XXXIX N.E
“ “ “ XXVII S.E. “ “ “ XXXIX S.E,
“ “ “ XXXII N.E. “ “ “ XLVI N.E.
“ “ “ XXXII S.E. “ “ “ XLVI S.E.
The thesis is in three parts. Part I is the text, Part II includes sketch maps, sections, diagrams and photographs illustrating Part I and the last part contains geological maps on the scale 6 inches to 1 mile. Part I is written in two sections, the first deals with the stratigraphy of the area and the second, the main part of the thesis, is concerned with the structure and the structural history of this district.
Abbreviations and symbols used on the maps and sections are those found in the "Standard Legend, Geological Department* of The Shell Petroleum Company Limited.
