?j-n'' J\^ ^^"^"^^^ ^^ ^'^^ northern fault is very well seen in the quarry at Snape 

 Hill, which certainly ought to be visited. Here we have a fine section of the upper 

 calcareous gnt and coral rag-heds higher than anything seen in the TTamblelon 

 escarpment cl(-.se by, faulted down against the shales of the upper lias, which were 

 worked for jet. close by. Standing m this quarry and looking up at the rocks of 

 Koulston hear lowering above one's head to the north is very impressive, and gives 

 a good_Klea of the throw of this fault. Another point of much interest in lliis 

 district IS the much more arenaceous character of most of the rocks, showing that 

 we are here approaching the original limit of these rocks and the shore-line from 

 Which the sednnent was obtained. The peculiar character of the Keliaways Rock 

 at the toot ot koubton Scar, nnd the thinning out of the Oxford Clay between this 

 point and A\ hUcstone CMfi] are also ol)jects well worthy of study.
