We now come to beds of grey limestone exposing their broad 
flat basset edges dipping exactly to the S.S.E. in an angle 
of 26 degrees, which is nearly the inclination of all the 
series 12 
Second broad flat ditto 
The beds here diminish a little in thickness, as they 
ascend from the river, both have a few shells and com- 
mon anomia. 
River still north and south, but here half a point to the north. 
Here a narrow cross vein of calcareous spar 6 inches wide 
cuts off the beds in a perpendicular direction — it is not 
quite filled up, and is discoloured by ochreous rust.
