. Restoration of Jedburgh Abbey. By Jas. Watson. 127 



Igneous Books : Under this head a small basaltic dyke must 

 be mentioned. It belongs to the N.E. and S.W. Series"*' and can 

 only be observed in a very weathered and decomposed condition 

 close to the Watling Street in the bank of a small burn running 

 to Little Whittington. 



Two other parallel dykes belonging to the same Seriesf can 

 be seen in the Bingfield Burn a mile or two further north, but 

 beyond the limits adopted in drawing up these notes. 



Veins : A vein of lead ore, probably the north-easternmost 

 extension of the well-known Fallowfield vein, has been worked 

 on a small scale at Grottington. 



Faults : Besides the two already noticed as crushing the 

 Little Limestone at Halton Shields, attention must be called to the 

 great Stublick Dyke or fault which runs in an east and west 

 direction south of the Tyne, passing by Dipton Hall and the 

 Linnels wood. Here the Millstone Grit on the north is brought 

 down by the fault to the level of the Felltop Limestone to the 

 south on the flanks of the Devil's-water glen. The effect of the 

 Stublick is, however, greater than this. To it is due the south- 

 ern dip of all the beds between Stagshaw Bank and Corbridge 

 and thence to the western boundary of the County. The general 

 dip of the strata in Northumberland is S.E. to E. as exhib- 

 ited to the E. and N.E. of Corbridge. In this neighbourhood, 

 therefore, is to be found the key to one of the most marked and 

 important changes in the lie of the beds in the County. 



Restoration of Jedburgh Abbey. By James Watson, 

 Author of " Jedburgh Abbey, Historical and Descriptive," 



&c. 



The purpose of this paper is to record somewhat in detail the 

 alterations and improvements made by the present Marquis of 

 Lothian on the Abbey Church of Jedburgh ; and to give a brief 

 architectural description of that noble fabric. It seems desir- 

 able, however, that this should be preceded by some reference to 

 the history of the Abbey up to the time of the recent restoration, 

 and this shall be done as concisely as possible. 



The monastery was founded as a priory for the Canons

 the recently published one-inch map of the Geological Survey.
