Earth Movements will be discussed in detail in a forthcoming 

 paper, and are barely mentioned here except that it is perhaps 

 desirable to record that the sequence begins with a shallow-water 

 phase, and that the " Pot-holes " and " Channels " indicate incidents 

 of emergence of the Carboniferous sea-fioor. 



Acknowledgments. 

 To Dr. Stanley Smith I am indebted for help and encouragement 

 received continually over a period of five years, for the revision of 

 the coral lists, and for accompanying me over sections of the area 

 and reviewing my findings. To Mr. Harold Adair, of Keswick, 

 I am also greatly indebted for placing much stratigraphical informa- 

 tion, especially of the Egremont portion of the area, at my disposal. 

 Dr. Lee has identified the Bryozoa, Professor Garwood many of the 

 brachiopods, and to these, as also to Professor Reynolds, who 

 arranged for my visiting the classic section in the Avon Gorge, 

 I tender my gratitude. To Dr. W. D. Lang for help at the South 

 Kensington Museum, to Mr. Withers for naming the trilobites, 

 and to Dr. Smith Woodward for examining and naming the fish- 

 teeth and fragments, I am indebted and accord my thanks. My 

 friend and colleague, Mr. William Macdonald, has helped me in 

 many ways. Finally, I have to thank Mr. E. E. L. Dixon, of H.M. 

 Geological Survey. I have been fortunate enough to have had 

 Mr. Dixon with me over part of the sequence, and, needless to say, 

 the presence of such a kindly and enthusiastic worker has lightened 

 the task for me. He has confirmed many of my findings and pointed 

 out to me lithological features which had escaped my attention. 



APPENDIX I. 



Notes on the Range of Corals in the West Cumberland Area. 

 Zaphrentis. 



Z. ennislcilleni, Edw. and Haime, makes its appearance in the Rough Beds 



of the Fourth Limestone. 

 Z. constricta, Carruthers, is characteristic of the Third and Eirst Lime- 

 stones. 

 ■Cyathophyllttm. 



C. (^, Vaughan, enters well up in the Seventh Limestone, reaching its 



maximum at the top. 

 C. Murchisoni, Edw. and Haime, enters near the top of the Sixth Lime- 

 stone, reaching its maximum in the Fifth Limestone, and appearing, 

 more or less abundantly, in all the beds to the top of the Fourth Lime- 

 stone, where it disappears from the area. 

 C. regium, Phillips, enters with the last appearance of C. Murchisoni, has 

 a short range, but is fairly abundant. 

 'Carcinophyllum. 



C. ^, Vaughan, enters fairly low down in the Seventh Limestone. 

 C. 6, Vaughan, succeeds C. <p in the Sixth Limestone, reaching its maximum 

 in the Fifth Limestone, and persisting well up into the Fourth Limestone. 



C. sp. is a characteristic form near Carcinophyllum kirsopianum, Thorn., 

 which is abundant in the Junceum Beds. 



DlBTINOPHYLLUM. 



D. 6, and D. <\>, Vaughan, enter in the Sixth Limestone, reaching their 

 maxima at the base of the Fourth Limestone.
