Mr. Dunn has favoured us with the following note on the succession of strata 

 comprised in the " Redesdale Limestone and Shale." The late Mr. George Tate, 

 of Alnwick, divided the Carboniferous rocks of Noi'thumberland into the —

 The " Redesdale beds " belong to the base of the 

 they are as follow : 



1. Shale, containing "Leaf" ironstone nodules. Often replaced by red 

 Boulder-clay, 10 feet. 



2. Redesdale Limestone, 1-1 feet. 



3. Clayey Sandstone, containing Stigmaria with rootlets, 16 inches. 

 1. Yellow, fine-grained Sandstone, calcareous in many places, 9 feet. 



5. Ironstone Shale, 30 feet. Near the top is an ironstone band, about 4 inches 

 thick, and full of organic remains. Fossiliferous ironstone nodules, sometimes in 

 beds, are scattered throughout this shale. 



6. Sandstone, 60 feet. A coal-seam, 1 14 inches thick, occurs in this sand- 

 stone. 



From the Shales and Ironstones of Redesdale Mr. J. Dunn has collected 

 Dithyrocaris glabra, D. tricornis (PI. XXII, fig. 5), D. Dunnii (tail-pieces, 

 PI. XXIII, figs. 9 and 10), several gastric teeth of Dithyrocaris (PI. XXVI, 

 figs. 21 — 26, 35, 36), Trilobites (PhilUpsia, &c), and some Fish remains, besides 

 other fossils, obscure and fragmentary.
