tliat their united effect has been a downthrow in that direction, the 

 amount of which is undeterminable^ as the beds brought into irregular 

 contact have no peculiarities whereby they might be recognised in other 

 parts of the section. The two nearest of these faults to Trombow are 

 but a few yards apart, and show themselves in the cliff on the right bank 

 of the river at a spot where it turns westward for a short distance, 

 forming a deep ' drao' or pool. The red beds included between these 

 two faults contrast strongly with the white ones on either side, and a 

 mass of crushed white rock which occupies the northern fracture. As 

 the white sandstones both to the north and south of the faulted ground 

 rest upon some thin red flaggy beds (having, however, on the north side 

 some intervening shaly layers), it is perhaps possible that the throw of one 

 fault compensates for that of the other, leaving the country on each 

 side nearly in its natural position and not more affected by displacement 

 than it would have been had the intervening red sandstone ground been 

 occupied by a large trap dyke in a simple fissure.
