Localities, <^c. with Remarks. 



Oak-like Woodstone. Pelr. Derb. Tab. 1. Gravel-pits, 

 water-courses, fissures in the luiiestone strata. 1 ob- 

 served some years back small masses of this substance 

 in a gravel- pit half a mile S.E. of Ashburne. As these 

 masses did not appear to be rounded, or water-worn, 

 the gravel was probably their original bed, Abou: 

 four vears ago ray friend, the lale Mr. S. Buxton, 

 surgeon, showed me some specimens of woodstone, 

 which a miner had brought him from a level near Cas- 

 tleton, but I could not find the man, to learn the par- 

 ticular place. The other localities in the Petr. Derb. are 

 given on the authority of Mr. W. Watson of Bakewell. 



Even-jointed Entrochite. iPe^r.De'?-^. Tab. 2. fig. 1. &c. Con- 

 vex-jointed Entrochite. T.4. f. 9. Wanted Entrochite. 

 T. 4. f. 10. Ring-jointed Entrochite. T. 4. f. II, 12, 

 13. Under beds m the first limestone stratum. Near 

 Monyash, &c. In Derbyshire Petrii'actions I have 

 stated, that theEntrochilai occur more or less through- 

 out our limestone tracts. This remark, though per- 

 haps literally true, ought to have been given with cer- 

 tain limitations. The great mass of Entrochal remains, 

 found in Derbyshire, belongs to our first limestone, and, 

 I believe, chiefly characterizes the lower beds of that 

 stratum ; yet none of ihe other lower strata, consti- 

 tuting what may be called the great ancient limestone 

 tract*, are wholly destitute of Enlrcchites, as f?ir as 

 my own observations have extended. J have found 

 Entrochites in the second limestone in beds of dun- 

 stone, east of the Clump of Firs on Masson Low near 

 Matlock, in the rock at the back of the old Hall, at 

 . Matlock Bath: and in the third limestonestratum, in a 

 small quarry near Buxton, between theLover'sLeap and 

 the Ashburne road (3d or 4th stratum?); in the quarries 

 nearHasling-House, on the right hand of the road from 

 Buxton to that place (3d stratum ?). I have memoran- 

 dums, which note my having found Entrochites in the 

 4ih limestone, between Bakewell and Buxton, and on.
