154 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. 
‘The length in an east and west direction is about 24 yards. 
The beds dip about 50° to the north-east, except at the western end, 
_where a slight anticlinal fold sets in, bringing the dip round to nearly 
north.

W.N.W. End of the Section. 
No rock was found for about 80 yards along the road between the 
upper and lower sections. 
Ezcavation No. 21. Shoot Rough Road, Lower Section. 
A narrow horizontal plan of the strata was exposed by clearing out 
the road gutter and stripping the soil from the foot of the adj oining bank, 
‘ These must not be confounded with the shales of Shoot Rough Wood, from 
which an undetermined Dictyonema was_collected some years ago by Mr. Gibson.
