EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. 



PLATE V. 



The Map represents the country described in Professor Buckland's paper; in it 

 are marked the lines of the sections, No, 2 & 3. 



The sectional figures are imaginary, and intended to shew the supposed relative 

 position of the st ata. 



No. 1. Shews the abutment of the red sandstone against the ends of the lower 

 strata of the escarpment, a ^ it is seen both on the north of Melmerby and 

 south of Dufton. The letters A. B. C. point out the abrupt contact of the 

 sandstone against the greenstone and slate. The letters C. D. E. shew its 

 similar position in regard to the lower strata of the great limestone seHes. 



No. 2. Shews the position of the strata in the line marked on the map from 

 Uartside Fell to Ousby, where (at A.) the sandstone is seen abuting against 

 the disturbed and nearly vertical limestone and coal measures, which form 

 a low scar in that part. 



No. 3. Represents the strata in the line marked No. 3. on the map, and the 

 beds of stratified entrochal limestone mentioned in p. 114, are seen on the 

 west of Keisley Pike dipping rapidly under the sandstone. 



No. 4. Represents the section of the strata as seen in the clitVs from Whitehaven 

 to St. Bees head, where the sandstone is seen lying on the magnesian lime- 

 stone which is deposited on the coal measures. Mr. Wincli, at page 4, men- 

 tions that the magnesian limestone is seen also at Wliitley quarry l^ing* 

 upon tlie coal measures. 



The dark spot in the red sandstone points out the . ituation of a gypsum quarry.
