6. Thi7i seam, occasionally worked 



The top seam lies 40 fathoms deep in the northernmost pit, called Mash 

 pit, and 116 fathoms deep in the southernmost pit, about 1000 yards distant 

 from the former. All the seams consist of caking coal. Many impressions 

 of lepido-dendra and syringo-dendra occur above the great seam. The 

 greatest fault throws up the beds 19 fathoms on its north side. 



Section 7. 



In lower coal-shale, at Ashton, in the western coal-tract,

2. Coal .... 



A fault runs north-west and south-east, near to which the beds are vertical. 

 In another pit 20 yards to the south of the former, the dip is to the south. 

 Another fault, perpendicular to the former one, runs probably between the 

 two works. 



Section 8. 

 In lower coal-shale, at Newton St. Leo : as communicated by Richard Harver, 

 underground bailiff. The seams are said to be the same as those worked 

 in the Golden valley.
