OY THE NORTH-WEST OF ENGLAND. 259 



Kirkby Stephen, on the Brough road, without much altera- 

 tion, except that under the rotten bruckram in the river 

 course near the latter place a dark red sandstone, quite soft 

 in consistency, makes its appearance. This cannot be dis- 

 tinguished in grain and colour from the red sandstone of 

 Heaton Mersey, Beet Bank Bridge, Collyhurst, Sutton, 

 Grimshaw Delph, and Rougham Point, previously described.

The conglomerates and sandstone extend to Belah Scar, 

 where a fine section of them is seen. Both rocks lie nearly 

 level, but they have evidently a slight inclination to the west- 

 south-west. It is difficult to measure the entire thickness, 

 but it cannot be much less than four hundred feet. At Belah 

 Scar the conglomerate at first sight appears as occupying 

 waterworn hollows in the underlying soft red sandstone,

 But in a short distance the conglomerate appears in the sand-
