" The line of section proposed by me commences in 
Northowram, on the flagstone, wherein lie the Halifax hard 
and soft beds of Coal. It then crosses a district of table 
land, composed of flagstone, to the most western escarpment 
of the Wortley Rock, in which are deposited a bed of first- 
rate Furnace Coal, the ' Low Moor Better Bed,' and a Coal 
accompanied by an excellent black ironstone, the ' Low 
Moor Black Bed.' Passing South of Norwood Green, 
where coals are worked by Sir George Armytage's lessee 
and others, the line reaches Bailiff Bridge, where a great 
dislocation down to the West occurs, running parallel with 
the valley that extends from Brighouse to Low Moor. The 
bold cliff of Clifton is next mounted, and the line proceeds 
by Woolrow, and crosses the Leeds and Elland turnpike- 
road, about half-way between the village of Clifton and the 
Pack Horse. — The ' Low Moor Black Bed,' and ' Better 
Bed' underlie this township, and an accurate knowledge of 
them may be obtained from the colliery workings of Mr. 
Walker, and from borings which have recently been made, 
near the line of section. The levels in this part range a few 
degrees East of North. — Entering the towTiship of Harts- 
head, the line traverses three-quarters of a mile of unex- 
plored ground, in which the marked lines of springs, and 
other circumstances, indicate considerable dislocations, at 
right angles with each other. — The site of Hartshead Col- 
liery is next crossed. Here the ' Blocking Coal' is worked, 
and a large dislocation runs almost due North and South. 
The levels first range nearly East, and afterwards nearly 
North. A short distance further, the escarpment of the 
' Lime Coal' is met with ; and next, the escarpment of the 
' Cromwell Bed,' which I believe is identical with the ' Park 
Gate Coal.' — Proceeding to the division of the townships of 
course of his professional engagements, collected a variety of information respect- 
ing it, he has, at the request of the Committee, prepared the following outline of 
it, which he illustrated by a plan and section.
