small crystals of selenite. Probably it is from this band 
that much of the lignite and associated iron-pyrites, which 
lies in pieces at the foot of the cliff farther to the west, is 
derived. The cliff becomes higher, and bed 6 comes 
in about two feet above 8; while the ledge in the beach 
is bed 10. Walking along this bed until it goes into the 
cliff, the next limestone-ledge may be walked across to. 
Between it and the ledge just left, indications of an inter- 
mittent limestone-bed may be observed. This ledge also 
makes for the cliff, and leads to a small disturbance of the 
nature of a slight anticlinal flexure. Half-way across the 
beach can be seen the outcrops of the two limbs of 
bed 18. After this flexure, bed 12 is the principal 
limestone-band in the cliff, being the middle one of the 
three visible in the photograph reproduced (Plate XV.) 
The limestone-bed of a whiter colour, above bed 12, is 
bed 10; and that forming the ledge in the beach, bed 18. 
In the following record, the numbers in square brackets 
refer to Lucy’s section.
