but only to a limited extent. There can be no doubt that the 
coal at Haigh is tbe equivalent in a general way of tbe 
Barnsley bed, but the writer has never been able to satisfy 
himself as to the identity of the subdivisions of the bed at 
Haigh with those of the Barnsley seam. Of one thing, 
however, he is quite sure, namely, that at Haigh there is no 
"hard" coal, it has completely gone out, and thus a very 
important change has taken place within two or three miles. 
The next section is obtained in the railway cutting at 
Crigglestone Station, and here changes still more remarkable 
have come over the bed. It shows the following numerous 
subdivisions : —

These sections show that changes, exactly similar to those 
which affect the Silkstone coal, come over the Barnsley bed 
as it is traced to the north-west. This leads to the belief 
that, if it could be followed further in that direction, it would 
be found to be entirely replaced by stone and shale ; and the 
section last given seems to show that in the case of the
