4. St. Bees and Kirklinton Sandstones [Bunter Sandstone 
Series]; sandstones mainly of a Venetian red colour, 
interstratified with subordinate beds of red sandy shale 
or marl. Muscovite flakes nearly always present, and 
very little secondary quartz on the sandgrains. The 
series admits of four sub-divisions :—(iv.) An uppermost 
band of cellular rock [Waterstones]; (iii.) a zone along 
which tile-red colours prevail, characteriaed by abrupt 
changes of colouring within short distances [Kirklinton 
Sandstone]; (ii.) Venetian-red sandstones with occasional 
white bands and a local development of -fine con- 
glomerate [Pebble Beds]; (i.) variegated zones [Lower 
Mottled] graduating downward into the next subdivision

2. Gypsiferous marls [Bunter Marls]; chocolate and Ven- 
etian-red shales, with subordinate micaceous flags, large 
segregations of gypsum on various horizons in their 
lower third. A band of conglomerate occurs locally at 
the base, which reposes discordantly upon various mem- 
bers of the lower series (2) and (1) - - - 300

2! Plant Beds; (Marl Slate) alternations of ochreous and 
reddish sandstones, more or less dolomitic, with thin 
bands of impure dolomite, some clays and shales, bands 
of lignite, and occasional thin coals occur. Carbonized 
remains of Accygerathia, Walchia, Ullmannia, and bracts 
of cones, have been obtained from these beds. In the 
Helton Section these beds may be as muchas - 150
