In Water Street a bore was some years since made 

 near the stables of the Manchester and Liverpool Rail- 

 way, and a rock was reached similar to that met with 

 at Dr. Joule^s. This, from its description, appears to have 

 been something like the conglomerate-bed seen at Cheetham 

 Weir Hole, on the top of the lower sandstone. 



At Messrs. Rothwell and Co.^s, in Water Street, the 

 trias was penetrated 492 feet without going through it. 



By the kindness of Messrs. Worrall of the Ordsal Dye 

 Works, I am enabled to give the section of the trias beds 

 which Messrs. Mather and Piatt met with in their bore 

 made at Ordsal some time since. It is as follows : —
