 mi. I \.u-y <-nii>iilerably in composi- 

 timi A typical example is the Fare- 

 \wll lt..i-k in Smith Wales, while 

 the formation in estimated to bo 

 some 5,000 ft. in thickness in Lan- 

 c.i-hire. The rocks rest upon the 

 i-;irliMiufiTtiii< limestones and are, 

 therefore, usually associated with

 the Appalachian Range in North 

 America, where millstone grits are 

 I.L'mft thick, are important The 

 rock is valuable for building pur-
