being also dale-drawn. A number of small quarries on this hill were 
found very interesting, as they were considerably faulted in various 
directions. After passing through the village of Magden, the party 
visited a large quarry in the Rough Rock. The upper portion was 
seen to be parted with a band of shale about two feet thick, with 
about one or two inches of coal on the top. Another most interesting 
section was seen at Oxlee, near Hepworth, where the Halifax Hard 
Bed Coal and the underlying ganister and fireclay crop out. The 
getting of the coal here has been recently abandoned. 
The above slate and flag quarries lie at the base of the Rough 
Rock, which has been denuded away and caps the two hills above 
mentioned, the valley betwixt them having been carved out of the 
shales which lie between the highest Middle Grit and the Rough 
Rock. The whole of the sections seen during the day were very 
interesting. 
The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the Chairman, 
proposed by Mr. E. W. Thirkell, of Barnsley, and seconded by Mr. 
A. Clarke, Secretary of the Huddersfield Naturalists’ Society, and 
carried unanimously, after which the members dispersed to their 
several homes. E. R. W.
