SUPPLEMENT TO THE 



30° to the true dip. This latter may be traced by the lines of fossils across the slates, 

 and is seen to be conformable to the beds below. 



" These beds continue westward as far as the Raised Beach ; and immediately beyond 

 that the strata are so much contorted that some are completely overturned. In the 

 Cove just beyond this point Mr. Lee has found Lower-Devonian fossils. 



" Lummaton or Happaway is about half a mile north of Mary church (a town two 

 and a half miles north of Torquay), and has three large contiguous quarries facing 

 east. They are in a mass of dense, subcrystalline, bluish-grey limestone, with occasional 

 joints, and with hardly any signs of bedding. Eossils occur rarely scattered through 

 them, but are very difficult to extract entire. Occasionally, however, there are local 

 accumulations of Corals and sponge-like growths, and at one spot on the top of the 

 third quarry is a small exposure of the rock, where the smaller fossils occur in great 

 numbers, and may in many cases be easily detached from the matrix.^ 



" It is most probable that from this spot most of the so-called Barton fossils were 

 obtained. 



" At the base of the quarry, almost perpendicularly below this, similar fossils occur 

 in numbers, and this would lead to the supposition that the dip is here a great one." 



About a quarter of a mile to the eastward is the large disused quarry of Barton, 

 which faces north, and Mr. Whidborne has not found or heard (locaUy) of any fossils 

 being obtained from this place, though it is probable that when it was worked occasional 

 fossils might have been obtained from it as from the general mass of the Lummaton 

 rock. Mr. Whidborne's impression, however, and this is supported by Mr. Lee, is 

 that the name " Barton " has been generally used for fossils obtained from any one of 

 the three quarries, but mostly from the one spot at Lummaton.^

 2 Mr. Pengelly says that Barton is a village three miles northward from Torquay Harbour. The fossils 

 assigned to this locality are found in the Barton and Lummaton hills, and two adjacent masses of Limestone.
