Mr. Reid is of opiiiion that the beds 33, 37, and 39 are not tmly 

 referable to the magnesian limestone ; Mr. Morley, C.E., however, con- 

 sidered these beds to belong to that formation, and the lower part of the 

 boring to be in the Lower Permian Sandstone. 



Still farther west, two borings for coal were put down at Woodhead, 

 near Great Smeaton, in 1789, by General Lambton, the one 396 feet deep, 

 the other 444 feet.

The 190 feet of white sandstone in the boring has been referred by some 

 to the millstone grit, but probably belongs to the waterstone, as suggested 

 by Mr. Peacock. He stated the sulphur spring met with in the boring.
