330 Mr. Farey’s Notes on Mr. Bakewell’s Geology. 
[P.283] its Marl beds, in a more perfectly calcareous and stony 
state, than usual, see my Note on p. 12.. 
284, 1. 4 and 5, one mile and a quarter*.—* Three Miles, 
P. M. xxxv. p. 130. 
1. 8, I have before saidt.—t See p. 262, and my Note 
thereon. 
1. 10, beyond the Peak t.—t Not on the surface ; because 
thrown down (comparatively speaking) by the great Lime- 
stone Fault, see my 2d Letter, vol. xlii. p. 112, and Note on 
p- 279. 
1. 12, appears to terminate**.—** See my Note onp.275. 
1. 17, considered as primarytt.—tt Although I never 
consider any Rocks in this light, for the reasons stated in 
P.M. vol. xxxix. p. 29, my Note on pp. 43 and 44, and else- 
where, yet I think I perceive (from pp. 57 and 85), that Mr. 
B. here means ‘* Transition.” 
1. 18, extend about ten miles t{.—{t See Map in Rep. 
p. 97 and p. Lol. 
I. 25, admit its existence ***,—*** See Rep. i. 166, and 
my 2d Letter, vol. xlii. p. 108. 
285, 1. 6, Basaltic rock near Nuneaton *.—* See also p. 290. 
The Basalt at Griff-hollow, Marston, Harthill, &c. occurs 
on the Bedworth Coal strata, I believe], and so does that of 
the Clee-Hills on its Coal-field (and the Rowley Hills also 
on another Coal-field, which circumstance Mr. B. has over- 
looked); and in assimilating these Basalts with the coarse 
Slate of Charnwood Forest . (as I have done, Rep. i. 155), 
both here and in page 290, Mr. B. was not aware probably, 
that he was indeed, granting my very heterodox position, as 
to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Coal-measures passing-under 
@ Several months after this was written, my friend Mr. Benjamin Bevan 
(in April. 1814) informed me, that he had obtained Sections of the strata 
in the Bedworth Coal-field, and had certainly ascertained, that the regularly 
stratified Red Marl and imbedded Basalt or Greenstone, &c. are laid un- 
conformably over the dipping Coal-measures, in this case; in Somersetshire 
the same was long ago asserted by Mr. John Strachey, in No. 360 and 
No. 391'0f the Philosophical Transactions; but after'‘many conversations 
with Mr. Smith and others, on the facts of the Somersetshire Coal-field, 
and very auxious inquiries, as to the correctness of Mr. Strachey’s state- 
ments, I never could obtain satisfaction, as to the Red Marl, &c. being 
regular and undisturbed, which had been proved by sinking through it, to 
overlie the Coal-measures in an unconformable manner: and therefore I 
have always doubted the correctness of a fact, so very contrary to my own 
observations, and that of hundreds of others, in so many other situations, and 
so I have expressed myself in my Notes on pages 45 and 98:—my zeal and 
industry shall however be increased, for inquiring fully into this important 
fact, and as to the extent of its operation in the structure of England, and 
Ishall ba thankful for the assistance of your correspondents herein.
