of the deposit, are both indicative of good water-bearing conditions, 
which reach their optimum along a line whose range may be 
roughly defined as lying about half-way between the Midland 
Railway and the foot of the Cross Fell Escarpment. Along the 
zone indicated, from Dufton, through Kirkland, and Ousby, to 
Renwick and Cumrew, all the necessary conditions for a suitable 
water supply exist within a hundred feet of the surface. 
In conclusion, I may remark that no geologist accustomed to 
deal practically with questions of underground water-supply, would 
for a moment hesitate in regard to what course to advise in dealing 
with the water supplies of Edenside. He would say: Sink a trial 
‘well, stop out all water except what comes through the rock; 
then, if the results so far are satisfactory, enlarge the well to the 
dimensions required.:
