1858.] BROWN FIFESHIEE COAST. 61 



At Invertiel (Kirkaldy) the " Mountain-limestone" beds reappear 

 from under the coal-measures with an easterly dip ; and the section 

 crosses the lower shales, sandstones, and limestone, with thick 

 intercalated trap-rocks, all having the same general inclination, to 

 Burntisland, where a lime-hand crops out, which is equivalent to 

 that of Burdiehouse, and on the same level with that near Pitten- 

 weem, above mentioned.
