350 DE. W. HIND AND ME. J. A. HOWE ON THE [Aug. I9OI, 



north-north-west of Warsaw End House is probably 100 to 150 feet, 

 as the bed dips at 30° 4- . . . , and is the only gap in the succession at 

 this part. On the whole, the dip is high near the limestone -massif 

 and diminishes from 50° to 15° or less, rising again to 30° towards 

 the hill : this is the normal dip of the Pendleside Limestone. At a 

 spot 200 yards west of Warsaw End House some calcareous strongly- 

 jointed shales are seen, dipping off the white limestone at 65°. These 

 are of interest, as they contain Prolecanites compressus^Brachymeto'pus 

 sp., Za])lirentis sp., Phillipsia sp., and Orthoceras sp. 



Between Warsaw End and the Pendleside Limestone, sections in 

 the shales may be seen along three brook-courses — the Rad Brook, 

 running past Hookcliffe and Eadbrook Earm towards Warsaw End 

 House, and its tributaries from the north-east and south-east ; that 

 from the north-east, flowing through Eiddingwood; and that 

 from the south-east, coming from Moors id e. 



In the Eiddingwood section the shales are rather contorted,, 

 but in the other two streams the following sequence may be taken 

 as characteristic: — 



Feet. 



Hard calcareous shales 6 



Black shales 40 



Shaly cement-stones 12 



Fissile shales 6 



Gap 12 



Hard calcareous shales 6 



Gap 20 



Hard calcareous shales 1 



Black shales inclining to be sandy 12 



The lowest of these beds dip 40° south-south-eastward, and 

 the upper in the same direction at 20° ; unfortunately no fossils 

 were obtained. Continuing up the Ead Brook the section is 

 uninterrupted, with the exception of a small gap below Hookcliffe, 

 and shows a series of claj'ey shales and cement-stones containing 

 a few fossils, such as Aviculopecten and Goniatites. The beds 

 becoming more calcareous, pass into the Pendleside Limestone 

 a few yards above the farm. 



The section exposed in the Worston Brook and along the 

 stream which comes down from Angram Green is fairly complete. 

 The shales cannot here be traced right on to the limestone-massif, but 

 the lowest exposures can hardly be far above it, as the strike of the 

 beds remains unaltered between Warsaw End House and the point 

 where the Mearley Brook crosses the municipal boundary of Clitheroe 

 1 mile away. The section begins immediately east of Hall Foot 

 House with black shales and thin limestones. One of the beds of 

 fissile calcareous shale contains the following fossils : — 



Aviculopecten pa'p^/raceics. 

 Ctenodonta Icsvirostris. 

 Solenomya costellata. 

 Bellerophon Urei. 

 Vroductus longispinus. 



Discina nitida. 

 Discites subsulcatus. 

 Orthoceras Steinhaueri (?). 

 Ceratiocaris sp.
