dale, and to Bannisdale Foot, on the road from Kendal to Shap, we 

 have repetition upon repetition of the same phaenomena. None of 

 the groups die away ; and there is no unconformable overlap (as 

 has been stated) whereby the highest group (4 ^), under the name 

 of Windermere rock, is made to pass over the edges of the older 

 groups a, /3, y. The hypothesis is, I think, positively contradicted,

both by the sections and the groups of fossils. I cannot describe 

 this complicated region in detail ; but I appeal to the accompanying 

 sections 7, 8, 9, 10, and to the list of fossils published in the abstract 

 of my paper before referred to *. Beyond Bannisdale we become en- 

 tangled among a series of undulations and breaks connected with the 

 disturbances on the eastern side of the great fault of the Lune, which 

 will be described presently. I may also here refer to the coloured 

 map of Westmoreland f. The colours are meant to illustrate this 

 paper, but the phaenomena are only local. Were I employed in 

 colouring a geological map of England on the scale of that by Mr. 

 Greenough, I should still use one simple colour for the whole series 

 of four groups, No. 1 having a distinct colour, as it would I think be 

 impossible to follow these subdivisions from one county to another in 

 the subordinate details, so as to lay them down on a map, however 

 great the scale.
