Mr. Farey’s Notes on Mr. Bakewell’s Geology. 331 
[ P.285] Charnwood Forest— truth will now and then out;” 
see my Note on p. 67. 
I long to examine the Malvern Hills, to see what I can 
make of them, and of the Coal-measures in their vicinity, of 
which my Friend Mr. Mushet speaks, P. M. xl. p. 94, and 
the Wrekin and Cardock Hills, &c. p. 293, and the central 
parts of the South-Wales Coal-field, P. M. xl. p. 52. 
1. 9, and Wales t.—+ I am sorry that I cannot safely go 
thus far at present with Mr. B., unless he can show, that 
Basalt or its asociates, Porphyry, Sienite, &c. see p. 97, and 
289, (perhaps the ‘‘Pennard’’ Rock of Mr. Mushet, P. M. 
xl. p.52?) are found on the central parts of Mr. Edw. Mar- 
tin’s great Coal-basin, (p. 268 and 299): not being able 
to admit, that the porphyritic green-stone on Cader Idris, 
p. 112,189 and 297, overlies any Coal strata, that I know of, 
in their vicinity. To me it seems not improbable, that the 
Coal strata of South and of North Wales, of Shropshire and 
Dean Forest and those of Anglesea, (see my Note on p. 275) 
and even those of Antrim] and Leitrim, Roscommon, Sli- 
go and Kilkenny, were once spread, even over Snowden, 
&c. &c. and were absolutely connected, before stupendous 
denudations separated them ! see P. M. xxxvii. pp. 441 and 
442. 
1. 10 and 11, nearly horizontal t+.—t{ Rep. i. 152 and 147. 
1. 11, sandstone **,—** Red Marl with its gritstone and 
other imbedded substances, Rep. i. 154. 
4. 18, evidently formed from them++.—t+ +. I maintain the 
Red Marl to be of the very same age with its various im- 
bedded substances (even Granite, as Mr. Mushet mentions, 
P. M. xl. p.53, and see Rep. i. 280), and so of any other 
stratum with respect to its imbedded masses, whether Chalk 
and Flints, or micaceous Sandstone and Conglomerate, &c. 
see my Note on pp. 43 and 44. 
1. 20, of fragments of these Rocks t.—t{ From this pas- 
sage, any one would suppose, that fragments of Sienite and 
Slate were found in vast quantities, forming Breccia, or 
Conglomerate and Gravel, to the NW of Charnwood Forest ; 
but no such thing occurs, I think I can assure them, only 
occasionally, strata of variously coarse Gritstone, whose ex- 
posed surfaces are liable to be mistaken for Gravel Rocks, 
_ (Rep. i. p. xiii.) ; and on further search in Mr. B’s Book, 
q The information accessible to me in 1812, seemed to leave it doubt- 
ful, whether the great Basalt of Antrim overlie its Coals, or not ?, P.M. 
XXxix. p. 353, and such doubt still remains; but none [ think, that there is 
a Basalt stratum on them. 
14 Sir H. Davy in bis Agricultural “Chemistry” informs us, that many of 
the highest hills in these Coal-fields “ have basaltic summits.”
