the fault, much inclined, the northern ones remaining as 

 before ; and, lastly, as in Jig. 50., where the southern portions 

 of the beds are seen vertical, the northern being still as in 

 Jigs. 48. and 49. 



The portions of the beds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. are seen so 

 altered in position, that one part of 6. is removed to a 



considerable distance from the other, the broken portions of 

 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. intervening. The upper beds are thus shown 

 to be the ordinates of the curve formed by the fault, and 

 which prop up the northern fragments of the once horizontal 

 strata.
