VII Additional Observations on the Permian Beds of 



the North-west of England. 



By E. W. Binnet, V.P.; F.R.S., F.G.S. 



[Read 2ith February, 1807.] 



In a former communication made to this society on the per- 

 mian beds of the north-west of England, and printed in 

 vol. XII. (new series) of its Memoirs, I have alluded to the 

 fragmentary condition in which our knowledge on this subject 

 was. 1 then published what information I had obtained as an 



ie, trusting that other parties better qualified for the task 

 would fill up the vast gaps that I had passed over. Since 

 that time I have collected some further information on the 

 subject at Seedley and AsUey, near Manchester ; Irby Hall, 

 near Kirby-in- Lonsdale, and Howrigg, Shawk and Westward, 

 near Wigton, Cumberland. This I now hasten to lay before 



ociety, in the hope that it may probably induce other 

 labourers to work on the permian deposits of this and the 

 neighbouring districts.
