a detailed description of these beds, the earliest description 

 of which it fell to the lot of one* of us to lay before you in 

 1883, when the nature of the underlying deposits were then 

 unknown. It was, however, pointed out that whatever age 

 they might be, they were cut off to the east, by a downthrow 

 fault bringing in the New Red Sandstone. The truth of 

 this has since been well established by numerous borings in 

 that direction.
