some account of the lithology of the beds, and specifying the fossils 

 which I have found. So far as it may seem possible and desirable, 

 I shall attempt to deduce the sequence of the beds, and so make 

 some contribution to further exact zonal work which I or others 

 may be able to carry out. I propose, moreover, to add some brief 

 notes on the quantitative relationships of many of the commoner 

 fossils, as also some notes on certain of the genera and species 

 met with. Some new species or varieties will be described. 



II. Description oe the Chief Expos dees. 

 (1) The Coniston Cold District. 



Warrel Quarry. — Near Ingber House is an old quarry called 

 Warrel Quarry (dip-mark 17° N"., on the 1-inch Geological Survey 

 map). It is about halfway between Bank ISewton and Coniston 

 Cold. Much of the cutting is now overgrown. The rock was 

 evidently quarried for the walls of the pastures and meadows, and 

 those walls that have been built in the immediate vicinity of the 

 quarry show various stages in the weathering of the massive dark 

 limestone. The rock is perfectly well bedded. Shales are quite 

 subordinate. The limestone rock weathers to a brownish-yellow 

 mud, in which small and fragmentary fossils may be seen. 



The dip is about 15° to 18° almost due north; but, as in nearl} 7 " 

 all the exposures in the district, there is some variation. Some of" 

 the rock-surfaces show slickensiding. 



There is an interesting breccia which may be studied in some of 

 the fragments that have been long exposed on the floor of the 1 

 disused quarry ; but it may be better seen in some of the walls. 

 It consists of a mixture of angular and rounded fragments of 

 limestone held together by a calcareous mud. Fragments of 

 Caninia, Amjplexus, and of brachiopods may be seen among the 

 irregular pieces. 



Fossils are not very numerous. The talus of calcareous mud at 

 the foot of one face of rock yields crinoid stems and plates, and 

 small brachiopods, among which are Rhipidomella michelini and a 

 small Athyris.
