E NORTH-WEST OF ENGLAND.

This section gives a thickness of 150 feet 2} inches for 

 the lower permian beds.* The coal measures appear to belong 

 to the upper field, and although 153 feet 7 inches were 1 

 d, no seam of coal was met with. 



By the further kindness of Mr. H. Mere Ormerod I have 

 been furnished with a copy of the strata met with by Messrs. 

 Sam Jackson and Co., in sinking their new pit down to the 

 Four Feet seam of coal at Bedford Lodge. This working 

 lies a little to the south of the places where the permian 

 beds described by Mr. G. Wareing Ormerod, M.A., F.G.S.,f 

 were met with, and not a great distance on the rise from 

 Mr. Kenworthy's bore hole, previously alluded to in this 

 paper. The dip of the strata is slightly east of south, at an 

 angle of 9°; and as this is one of the best sections of the per- 

 mian beds ever met with in Lancashire, I shall give it at 

 length : —
