This fauna is of considerable interest, especially with respect to 

 the brachiopoda. Such forms, for instance, as Pugnax acuminatus 

 and Sjyirifer triangularis are onl}^ known to me from rocks lying 

 south of the Craven Faults : therefore, so far as the scanty fauna 

 collected can be taken as affording an indication of the position of 

 these rocks, it would appear to emphasize the view suggested by 

 the physical characters — namely, that we are here dealing with 

 fragments of the higher limestones of the knoll-reef country in 

 the south-east, brought into their present position by extensive 

 thrusting. 



y. The Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale Disteicts. 



The Kendal District. 



This district forms a connecting-link between the Shap and the- 

 Arnside Districts, not only on account of its geographical position, 

 but also on account of the lithological and palaeontological characters 

 of the strata. The district forms an elongated strip about 9 miles, 

 long by 3 miles wide, stretching from Hall-Head Farm southwards 

 to the northern boundary of the Arnside District. The development 

 in this district, as displayed in the exposures between Kendal 

 and Scout Scar, resembles that found in the eastern portion of the 

 Arnside District. The succession differs from that already described 

 in the Shap District in the following characteristics ; — 



1. In the absence of the greater portion of the Solenopora. Sub-zone. 



2. In the absence of the Brownber Pebble-Bed, which has appai-ently thinned 



out here and is represented only by a bed of very compact and gritty 



oolite containing Syringothyris ciispidata. 

 ."). In the absence of the sandstone episode, Avhich is so characteristic of the 



Michelinia Zone and of the overlying Gastropod Beds in the Shap 



District. 

 4. In the absence of the greater part of the Bihunophyllum Zone, which is 



only represented by the lower portion of this zone in two places : namely. 



in the neighbourhood of the Serpentine Walk.s, and north-east of" 



Haversham in the southern portion of the district.
