HIND : CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF THE PENNINE SYSTEM. 437 
Kirkby Lonsdale, though one well-marked bed of yellowish- white 
limestone is to be seen in shales north of Whittington village. Unfor- 
tunately no fossils were found either in the stream section or the small 
c^uarry ; but between this bed and the Massif of Limestone, in a small 
stream, a quarter of a mile south of Sellet Hall, a calcareous shale with 
nodules yielded:— 
Athyris planosulcata. 
Chonetes Laguessiana. 
Productus longispinus. 
Pr. punctatus. 
Spirifera glabra, 
Sp. trigonalu. 
Sp. pinguis. 
Rhynchonella pleurodon. 
Edmcndia unioniformis. 
Sanguinolites striatolamellosus. 
Monticulipora sp. 
Fenestella sp. 
Crinoid-stems. 
A fauna with a Carboniferous Limestone facies. 
The study of the belt of Carboniferous rocks deposited round 
the older rocks of the Lake District is of interest and importance. 
On the eastern side the base of the Carboniferous rocks is seen in 
the neighbourhood of Shap, where the basement beds have the 
character of a conglomerate. Around Garnforth and as far east as 
Kirkby Lonsdale, there is no evidence that the Carboniferous Lime- 
stone is sub-divided by intercolations of shale and sandstone, and the 
limestone here is at least 500 feet thick ; but east of Shap the lime- 
stone is split into well-marked beds, of which the lowest is the Shap 
Limestone, and the next in series is the Knipe Scar Limestone. The 
latter yielded me — 
Lithostrotion junceum. 
Cyathophyllum regium. 
Athyris planosulcata. 
A. globulina. 
A. expansa.
