The pinel or Boulder-clay overlying the Black muck or vegetable 

 matter in the above sections is the Upper Boulder- clay, having a 

 greyish and ochrey matrix, and containing numerous boulders, some 

 as much as 2' 0" x 1' 3" x 1' 3"; bat the majority are below 3" in 

 diameter. Coniston grits and nags, from the adjacent highlands, 

 are the principal rocks represented. Besides these, however, there 

 are St.-Bees Sandstone, Eskdale granite, Carboniferous Limestone, &c. 



The extent of the deposit has not yet been proved in either a N.E. 

 or S.W. direction, as shown on the section AB (fig. 3). So far as is 

 at present known, it covers an area of about 34 acres. 



For a list of the plants &c. found in this deposit, the two papers 

 above referred to should be consulted, as I had only an opportunity 

 of seeing some of the vegetable deposit as it came out of the bore- 

 holes. It was then too much broken up to enable me to identify 

 any of the plants. 



Crossgates Deposits. — Several deposits similar to that at Linclal 

 have been met with at Crossgates, in working the haematite-mines. 

 In some cases they were covered up by 9 or 10 fathoms of Boulder- 

 clay ; and they invariably rested on clay. I have seen a large 

 quantity of the woody matter which came from some of these de-
