VOL. XV. (2) EFFECTS OF EARTH-PRESSURES 97 
close at hand, acting as a line of resistance, it follows that 
in such districts they would be more than usually bent. 
With the main force acting from 
the north-east, the greatest flexur- 
ing would be a little to the south-east 
of the Malvern Hills. Such is the 
case: the Keuper sandstone of this 
neighbourhood has been remarkably 
bent about, as a reference to the 
Geological Survey-Map (sheet 43, 
N.E.) and the accompanying sections 
show at a glance. 
Between Limbury Hill and Staun- 
ton the sandstone dips to the east, 
and just over a mile in that direction 
the escarpment of the Lias runs 
almost parallel with it. There is a 
good section showing the dip of the 
deposit in a quarry by the side of 
the road from Upleadon to Oridge 
Street, on the top of the hill near 
the farm. But at Eldersfield there 
is a denuded dome of sandstone of 
which the centre remains, forming a ; 
capping to Gadbury Bank; while on 
all sides except the south the outcrop 
of the rock constitutes a conspicuous 
feature. The numerous sections 
show that the dip is gua-gua-versat- 
the rock slopes away in all directions 
from that central boss. In a lane- 
cutting at Eldersfield, near the
