Reviewing the geological formations, it seems as if the lignite is the 
lowest of the visible Post Jurassic strata, and overlying them come the leaf 
series (plastic clays, sandy clays, whitish clayey grits and gravels); then bluish- 
drab and brown speckled clays (probably volcanic ash) ; and above them dense 
hard basalt. Overlying these, probably unconformahly, the series of red, 
yellow and white sands and gravels, gravelly sands, siliceous quartz grit, and 
red ferruginous clays occur. The leaf and other clays series appear to he simply 
the vestiges of former beds, which may he found intact under the spur of basalt 
in allotment 78. 
If this interpretation is correct, and the lignite and leaf-beds prove to he 
Eocene, the upper beds are, perhaps, Miocene. I am, however, in a measure, 
disposed to think they are unconformable, but still of Eocene ? age. 
The attached sketch map and sections indicate roughly the geological 
features of the locality. Sections A-B and B-C are merely provisional ones, 
as sufficient evidence was not available to state definitely the stratigraphical 
relations of the rocks to one another.
