of this series, and believes with him. that we have reproduced in 

 Devonshire the representatives of the Permian and Trias which enter 

 into the structure of so large a portion of the district bordering 

 Wales and Shropshire, and which extend into the Midland counties. 

 It is very remarkable that, notwithstanding the interposition of the 

 dividing ridge of Palaeozoic rocks which underlies East Anglia, and 

 emerges from beneath the Jurassic strata in Somersetshire, the 

 representative beds on either side should bear so close a resemblance 

 to each other. 



In conclusion, I tabulate below what I consider to be the strata 

 representative in South Devon of those in the Western Midland 

 counties. As the latter have already been tabulated on p. 61 they 

 need not be repeated here : —
