Mr. Weaver's Geological Observations on

3. Trap . 75 fath. wide. Opened also by a small quarry on the south-east; 



and again by a second more to the south-east^ 

 50 fathoms to the north and south ; while at a 

 considerable distance^ on the same range, may 

 be observed superficial openings upon the trap ; 

 to which the most south-eastern quarry appears 

 to belong. 



. extending to the brow of the valley. They may 

 be traced along the brow, and down the de- 

 clivity to the two cottages on the west, and 

 thence to the southward partly, on the eastern 

 flank of the 4th trap, and in spots between the 

 3d and 4th trap. 



. This appears close by the river on the right bank, 

 extending up the brow above the southern 

 cottage, and ranging continuously to the trap 

 quarries situated north and east of Damory 

 bridge. The quarries in the line of range on 

 the south-east appear also to belong to it. 



occupying the salient angle on the right bank, 

 and reposing on the 4th trap as a base. On 

 the southern side, the river is again in con- 

 tact with the trap, beyond which the stratified 

 beds line the right bank of the river, to the 

 brook that flows into the Avon, below the 

 new red clay marl escarpment on the east. 



The stratified beds, wherever exposed on the right bank, dip generally, in 

 the lower part of the valley, at an angle of 30° to 35° to the south, 30° west; 

 and in the upper part 15° to 25° to the south, 20° west. This disposition was 

 also clearly shown to exist near Damory quarry, in a portion of the stratified 

 beds No. 4. ; and similar beds are partially exposed on the north-eastern side, 

 in which quarter may also be observed large masses of sandstone and slaty 

 sandstone, enveloped in the substance of the trap, and disposed conformably 

 to the general arrangement, the dip being south-westerly. 



These observations tend to justify the conclusion, that in Micklewood the 

 stratified transition rocks include four great beds of trap ; and if we make
