Note 275 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
Burfield quarry, on the heights of Bradford, is the locality referred to; but I believe it is rarely that any specimens of the Apiocrinite are to be found in an erect position. I could not learn from any of the local collectors, that an example had been seen by them. When I visited the quarry in June, 1848, no good section of the beds was apparent: a few detached plates of Apiocrinites were the only relics we could meet with. Mr. Reginald Mantell, when engaged on the construction of the railway near Bradford, sought repeatedly, but in vain, to discover any Apiocrinites in an erect position, or as if lying on the spot where they grew.
