Station G. Eighty-three feet from the entrance. Thirteen 
feet south from the skeleton the tunnel as left by ^Ir. Fowke 
is here represented. 
At the bottom is horizontally laminated Carboniferous shale in place 
(sample No. 10) with an undulating upper surface, descending so as 
to hardly appear at the east side. Its greatest thickness is about 
eighteen inches. 
No. I here contains many limestone masses three or four feet 
across, and smaller ones, but the bulk of it especially in its upper part, 
is of the reddish brown geesL From the Carboniferous shale in situ to 
an imaginary separation line between Nos. i and 2 is four feet, more or 
less, increasing and rising to the roof of the tunnel in the angle of the 
roof and wall. Indeed, without minute examination it has the appear- 
ance of rising to the summit of the arch of the tunnel at this place. 
This member has thus greatly thickened between Stations F and G. 
The most of the offset tunnel running east from near this 
place is cut in No. i. No. i here is called "joint clay" by 
the Concannon brothers, in allusion to the vertical jointage by 
which it is marked, along the openings of which calcareous 
water has descended from above depositing a white effervesc- 
ing coating. This light coating forms a conspicuous contrast 
with the reddish-chocolate color of the geest. 
The place of the skeleton. 
Considerable effort was made on the occasion of this visit 
to ascertain with certainty the position of the skeleton and the 
nature of the materials in which it lay. I went twice with the 
brothers to the end of the tunnel expressly for that purpose, 
and made two more stations (H and I) with descriptions dic- 
tated by them, but as I received subsequently the photograph 
made by flash-light by ]\'Ir. Long, it is far better to discard 
stations H and I and substitute for them the reproduction of 
the photograph seen in plate XVIII. 
This view (plate XVIII) was taken at seventy-two feet 
from the entrance. The members which it discloses at this 
place were removed by the work of Mr. Fowke, and it is im- 
possible to get samples from the exact place at which the skel- 
eton lay. However, in the light of the foregoing descriptions 
the parts can be identified and numbered. The place of the 
skeleton is indicated by the horizontal white spot at the right 
and slightly above the liat. The dark spot at the left and above 
the hat .shows a rotting large ])iece of limestone. The strati-
