These three cappings of limestone lie within a distance of from 80 

 to 100 paces. The two southerly ones appear shaken and somewhat out 

 of place rather than presenting complete conformity to the sandstones on 

 which they rest ; the contact of the other looks more natural, so that a 

 second zone of nummulitic limestone was sought for, displaced fragments 

 of which might have formed the other two caps. No such second parallel 

 band of the limestone, however, could be observed anywhere in the vicinity, 

 and where so much rock is exposed, if it were pre- 

 sent, it could hardly escape notice. A fault which 

 may have some possible connexion with the complexity here runs from 

 west to east between the most northerly capping and the limestone anti- 

 clinal-turning north-eastwards apparently, for steeply dipping beds of the 

 sandstone group run directly at the end of the curve within a short 



distance to the east, as shown in the sketch plan. 

 Red clays : limestone. 



Along this fault in a narrow ravine to the west- 

 ward red clays are exposed as if cropping from underneath the nummu- 

 litic limestone, which close by to the north has lost its anticlinal cur- 

 vature and forms a perfectly vertical rib. Ano-

ther fault may perhaps run parallel to this be- 

 tween the two southern limestone caps accounting for the sudden change 

 in the dip, from having a low northerly inclination beneath the two 

 northerly outliers to vertical beneath that side of the highest cap.
