IVitte. — It may excite surprise, that none of the " decided lines of fracture" described by Dr Himuert in his pajtcr on tlj' 

 Burdieliouse Limestone, as traversing^ the Mid-Lothian coal-field, arc laid down on the Map accomiiauying- this paper, or .irt 

 specified in tlic above Table. The truth is, I have not been able to discover an^' one of tllc^?e alleged lines of fracture. I rccfrt 

 this the more, on account of their being all described by Dr IIinnEiiT as running in directions varving little from SW., and (lif 

 ferent tlierefore in tliis respect from the great proportion of tlie fractures existing in the district. 



I may add, with reference to tlie mode in whicli the information regarding tlie Shps was obtained, that it was, in most in 

 stances, derived cither from plans of the coal-workings, or from the under-ground overseers, as mentltjiied in the Table. When 

 there is no authority given in tiic Table, the statements rest on my own observation. 



Since the first part of my Memoir was re.ad and printed, I have acquired information regarding several slips of which I wa, 

 not then aware. These have been added to the Table. This .addition creates a slight discrepancy between tlie Table and tlv 

 Memoir, — tliough, so far from invalidating the statements made in the text, it strongly confirms them.
