10 feet in. to 12 feet hard flags and shales including a band of 

 eight inches of coal, B. 



40 „ „ flaggy sandstones (c), two flag beds, finely rippled in 

 places, indistinct impressions of plant stems uncar- 

 bonized, earthy partings, a few bands of hard black 

 micaceous shale. This set of beds has a higher dip 

 at top than below, decreasing from 35° to 15° or 12°, 

 the direction, which, is constant, is E. 30° N. 



2 „ 6 „ Coal D. 



„ „ 10 „ Black carbonaceous shale.

There is a break in continuity here below. 

 15 feet in. Soft grey felspathic sandstone. 

 10 „ „ Soft sandy shale, and grey fissile flags. 



3 „ „ Coal. With this coal a thin layer of sandy shale is 



sometimes interstratified dividing it near the floor, but 

 there is three feet of good coal exclusive of this. 

 Break in continuity of section. 

 15 feet in. Grey sandstones.

 3 „ „ Coal, 

 being evidently, or most probably, a repetition of the twenty-eight feet 

 seen above the break. 



Below this a break occurs again, and beds exactly like those first 



described, at the ford, again appear; thick but irregular beds of grey and 



brown felspathic sandstone ; dip obscure, and thickness not ascertainable. 



It appears on looking carefully over this section that, neglecting all 



Remarks on th ab threads or very thin bands, we have a total thick- 



section - ness of 21 feet 2 inches of coal. 



The beds dip at low angles, the out-crops, eight in number, all occur 

 within the distance of a mile, four of them expose beds of from three to
