DESCRIPTION OF THE ROCKS 
General view of Wharnside . — From three several examinations on 
the eastern, south-western, and northern faces of Wharnside, all con- 
tinued from the lower limestone to the summit of the main limestone, 
the following complete view of the composition of the Yoredale series 
in that mountain has been constructed. Its accordance with the Hawes 
section is very satisfactory, and justifies the use of that as a common 
standard of reference.
