c. Laminated sandstone. 
d. Block sandstone. 
e. Alternations of sandstone and shale. 
f. Diluvium. 
These beds bend down towards the north, and the whole series sud- 
denly disappears, beyond the point of Ewe nab, with indications of a 
fault. Carbonaceous shale and sandstone, mixed with much diluvium, 
occupy the low sea cliffs of Carnelian bay, and above are irregular broken 
slopes of diluvium. These appearances continue to the point of rocks 
called White nab, where the tide flows round a little island, as conspi- 
cuous as that formed of the same strata at the north point of Gristhorpe 
bay. 
As at the island, and at Ewe nab, so at White nab, the oolitic beds 
rise gradually from the south to a moderate height, and again fall gently 
towards the north. The series here exhibited is drawn to scale in the 
enlarged section. 
a. Represents the rough argillo-calcareous beds with layers of septariate ironstone, 
full of shells, and interspersed masses of soft large-grained oolite. The upper- 
most layer is soft and shaly. 
b The carbonaceous sandstone series. 
1. A regular bluish or yellowish bed, occasionally fissile ; it then contains a 
few casts of bivalve shells, becomes very calcareous, and much resembles 
the “ roadstone” of Brandsby. 
2. In this layer of sandstone lie equisetiform and other plants, besides large 
branches of wood. 
3. Mass of carbonaceous sandstone, with irregular interpolations of shale. 
A complete catalogue of the fossils found at the White nab will be 
given in the latter part of this work. It may be sufficient now to men- 
tion that gervilliae, aviculae, and short thick belemnites are among the 
most common. 
Proceeding along the shore, we find the calcareous and ironstone beds 
exposed in broad flat scars at low-water, and extending, with some 
interruptions, to Ramsden scar, nearly opposite the bathing machines
