THE GEOLOGIST. 
Oxen Park and Satterthwaite it dips north 50'^, and N.N.W. 70°, 
and is lighter and more striped than usual ; at Force Mill it 
strikes E.N.E. and dips N.N.W. 65^_, and the cleavage has the 
same strike but is perpendicular : at Satterthwaite the dip is 
north 45° : between Esthwaite and the Ferry on Yv^indermere the 
road runs near the upper edge of the bed, which is well exposed 
close to the Ferry House, north of which spot it reaches more 
than a mile up the shore of the lake. On the east side of the 
lake it has been quarried north of Bowness. 
Eastward of Bowness, Mr. Sharpe corrects an error which he 
committed in laying down this line too far south : he now traces 
it nearly E.N.E. by Ing's Chapel, Bow Gill, and Hughill Hall, 
dip south-east 60° ; Monument Hill on the west side of Kent- 
mere, dip S.S.E. 80° to Fellfoot in Kentmere. The flagstone 
crosses Long Sleddale at the Chapel, where it was found not 
worth working for slate : at Bonnisdale-head Farm it gives a 
slate of fair quality, the beds dip south-east by south 65°, and 
the cleavage dips in the some direction 80°, from here it crosses 
into High Borrowdale half a mile above High House, dipping 
south-east by south 50° , a fault down this valley throws the bed 
below High House on the east side of the valley : in the next 
Fells it is much concealed by the vegetation, but it is seen at a 
cutting of the road from Shap to Kendal on Hurd^s Brow, be- 
tween the ninth and tenth mile-stone, dipping south-east 75°, 
and the cleavage dipping north-west 85° . Near the Borrow the 
beds are thrown into several anticlinal ridges bearing north-east, 
by faults which disturb the cleavage planes as well as the bedding 
of the rock : this slate has also been worked in the upper part of 
Bretherdale. The boundary thus laid down nearly corresponds 
with that given in the new edition of ]\Ir. Greenough^s map. 
The lowest beds of the slate in High Borrowdale are calcareous, 
and may perhaps present the Blawith limestone, which has not 
been found in conjunction with the slate eastward of Blawith.
