I. — Eemakks upon Inversions of Cakbonifekous Strata, in 

 Somersetshire. 



By HoKACE B. ■Wood-ward, F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of England. 



DUEING tlie past few years Mr. Charles Moore and Mr. J. 

 McMurtrie^ have called attention to a remarkable inversion 

 of strata, which was indicated by the working of coal under the 

 Mountain Limestone near Vobster, on the north of the Mendip 

 Hills. And this fact renders necessary an important modification 

 in the geological sections of the district. 



This inverted structure seems generally to be attributed to a 



1 C. Moore, Geol. Mag. for July, 1866, p. 331, and Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 

 vol, xxiii., 1867, p. 453. In the latter publication, referring to his interesting 

 discovery of a trap dyke, near Stoke Lane, on the Mendip Hills, Mr. Moore remarks 

 that, by its protrusion, the Old Bed Sandstone and Carboniferous rocks have been 

 carried forward in a northerly direction, and are not only left standing vertically, but
