To obtain a definite idea of the succession of these lower bedsj 



advantage was taken of the steady northerly

dip on that side of the anticlinal near Lodaee to 



make a detailed examination of the rocks down to the centre of the axis 



or as near to it as possible. The section subjoined was carried southwards 



from near Lodaee over a distance of about a mile and three quarters. 



The exposures of the rocks, although frequent, were not sufficiently 



continuous to enable more detailed measurements of each set of beds 



to be made, portions being concealed here and there, and in the hills the 



thickness had to be estimated with such accuracy as circumstances 



permitted.

Thin, hard, yellowish beds, often alternating with shales, some conglo- 

 meritic beds of coarse sandstone, also strong bands of coarse rugged 

 sandstone, dip north, high or vertical. They contain small corals,

Note. — The beds here described may be parts of sharp curves denuded ■ 

 above, otherwise they would have the doubtful thickness assigned. They are 

 seen at a little distance from the line of section.
