in Yorkshire, Derhjshlre, &e. 103 



Forster's series, as already hinted p 100: unless indeed, they 

 can be referred to anomalous beds in the Limestone Shale? 

 ]ike other remarkable ones that are mentioned in the Der- 

 by Report i. p. 228, &c. 



In the preface to my Derbyshire Report p. xiv. T have 

 mentioned the Red Marl strata containing Gypsum beds, 

 that had been said to cover or lie on the top of the Yel- 

 low Lime Rock at Fairburn N of Pontefracl in Yorkshire, 

 and the importance of'ascertaining (as I have no where yet 

 been able to do) ll^ltat is the regular or proper covering 

 stratum to this Lime Rock? made it among the most in- 

 teresting objects of my visit to ^:ir. Smithson, to go with 

 him and view these Gypsum quarries ; but before I men- 

 tion my observations at Fairburn, it will be proper here to 

 ^ve a more exact account of the Western edge of the lower 

 part of the Yellow Lime Rock (where it is seen covering 

 the Coal-measures) to the north of the Anstons in York- 

 shire, than is to be found at page 136 of my Report, and 

 which, from what I have seen and been informed, is as fol- 

 lows, viz. Norlh-Anslon, Dmnington SW, Laughton-en- 

 le-Morthen W, Slade-Hooton, Jligh-Hooton, IVlallby S,

 Hutton-Pagncll, Moorhouse E, Stubs-Hall, North-EImsall

 detached hummocks to the W) East-Hardwick, Darring-

 Ferrybridge W, iirotherion SW, Fairburn SW, Newton-

After ascending with Mr. S. the edge of the Limestone at 

 Nevvton-Abberth, in our wi\y to Fairburn, 1 v.as soon after 



• In the Rev. William Atkiimon's collection at Boston, near Tin rp-Arch, I 

 «aw some turbinated and scallop shells in dark-gray Limestone from Allerton- 

 Maulevcrcr, that may perhaps belong to the blue beds in the lower part of 

 the lower Yellow l.ini'e P.ock (unless ihey belong to the I.ias as before hinted) 

 Jieport i. IJT ; and the Coals which G. B. C;reenough,i:=q. observed working 

 at Arkcndilo NW of this, last summer, may be those called the Bilborough 

 tioal, Report!. IGG, and iho>e of Parliagton wear Abbcrford, and several 

 pthcr intermediate places.
