roots show a sort of epidermis, somewhat scaly like Lepidodendron. Large 
trunks were not seen. The bed is-very thin, only 1} foot, and is covered 
by a bed of limestone 25 feet thick. It appears therefore probable that, 
owing to littoral oscillations, the vegetable covering of the shale was denuded 
during the progress of the sinking of the coast and previous to the deposit of

These two beds of limestone are not quite conformable to the sandstone and 
preceding beds; they are nearly horizontal, with a trifling dip of about 3° 
to the H. N. EH. This is probably due to littoral oscillations or earthquakes.
