35° was obtained. At about ten chains further on Hangman grits, 
containing raddled grey schistose heds, dip southward at 20°, and 
S. 20° E. at 30°, and rest in strict conformity upon the characteristic

warm-grey, evenly bedded fine grits and grey schists of the Lynton 
division, which form a low crag or ridge feature in the valley, 
dipping 8. 25° E. at 25°. At about 15 chains from this junction a 
tributary streamlet joins the East Lynn; proceeding along it, we 
observed the same even flaggy Lynton grits dipping 8. 15° E. at 20°, 
at a point about 15 chains from the main stream. 
Having thus terminated the Lynton beds in the East-Lynn valley 
by a conformable junction with the Hangman grits, we will retrace 
our steps, and, starting from Porlock to Countesbury, and then to 
Oareford, endeavour to show that the absence of the Lynton beds on 
Lucott Hill, and to the east of it, is due to a fault following the 
general trend of the East-Lynn valley. On ascending Porlock Hill 
_from Porlock, chocolate-grits, resembling those of Timberscombe (as 
before stated), with irregular schistose beds, dip E. 12° 8. at 50°, 
and N. 30° E. at 70°, the change in dip being apparently due to a 
fault. A little further on they dip N. 30° E. at from 60° to 65°. 
The evidence on Porlock Hill is confined to surface-stones till we 
come to a section about 10 chains east from the turning to West 
Porlock shown on the map, but now no longer in existence; here 
the grey, buff, and red fissile grits so characteristic of the Foreland 
group are apparently horizontal. The present road to West Porlock 
joins the main road at a point on the map where the letter W of the 
words White Stones touches it. By thisroad, near West Porlock on 
the north-west of Whitestone Park, red grits dip N. 10° W. at 55°. 
Midway between this observation and Westacot similar red grits 
(rather fine-grained) exhibited a northerly dip of 20° and a doubtful 
southerly dip of 50°, which may be along joint-surfaces. South of 
Westacot an easterly dip of 55° was furnished by greenish-grey and 
reddish fine fissile grits, in which we obtained several casts of small 
bivalves. About halfway between this section and the main road, 
on Porlock Hill, similar beds afforded a dip E. 20° 8. at 25°. 
From White Stones to Countesbury, in the adjoining map (sheet 
27), no pits deep enough to afford reliable dips were observed from
