It may be observed that the two last sections are continuous, and 
that they include a series of strata, of more than 500 yards in depth, 
connected together by the occurrence of the black mine, (page 460) ; 
these sections display the order and succession of different varieties of 
strata, which owe their origin to the gradual formation of the coal 
measures, in periods of remote antiquity.
