The two last beds have been long known as the White- 
haven sandstone, and Professor Sedgwick many years since 
classed them as lower red sandstone. After further investiga- 
tion the Author is inclined to endorse this opinion, as he 
cannot find any difference between these sandstones and his 
lower pennian beds of Astlcy, Bedford, and Moira, near 
Ashby-de-la-Zouch. These singular sandstones lying uncom- 
formably to the breccia above and the coal measures under- 
neath, he thinks will be found to be the English represen- 
tatives of the lower rothliegendes of the Germans. 
The Author showed that although the upper coalfield of 
Lancashire and the Midland Counties of England contained 
several workable seams, the same beds in Cumberland and 
Scotland contained none. On the other hand, the mountain 
limestone series in the latter districts contained numerous 
seams of coal, whilst none were to be found in the former.
