EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES. 
Fig 1 is a section showing the succession of the Triassic rocks in the north 
cliff of Goodrington Sands, Torbay. It is drawn on the scale of one inch 
to ten feet. Its height is 75 feet, breadth 40 feet, and its direction from 
N. 70^ W. to S. 70° E, (mag.), or true west and east nearly. 
6. c. is the base of the cliff. 
b. c. d. g. is a bed of sandstone showing diagonal stratification, indicated by 
the lines h. e. and c. f. and those parallel to them respectively. The Dip of 
the beds, so far as it can be ascertained, is shown by the line g. d. and those 
parallel to, it, and measures 10*^ towards S. 70° E. (mag.) Unless, however, 
the direction of the cliff section is identical with that of the Dip, which is by 
no means probable, this cannot be the true Dip, 
The stratula parallel to c. f. composing the mass c. d. e. /., dip 23° towards 
S. 70° E. This mass is continued much further in the direction a. d. The 
remainder of the bed is made of stratula parallel to e. f. h., which dip 
21° towards N. 70° W., and are continued much beyond h. g. The stratula 
are as thin as paper. 
i. is a bed of Sandstone, 5 inches thick, without diagonal stratification. 
h, is a bed of Marl 18 inches thick. 
h. is a bed of Sandstone with diagonal stratification, the stratula being 
somewhat less inclined than e. 6., <fec, 
I. is a bed of fine Conglomerate. 
m. n. 0. p. beds of Sandstone, in all respects similar to h. 
n. p. q. 0. beds of rather coarse Conglomerate, 
b. n. is 41 feet and n. p. is 34 feet. 
Fig 2. is a section of Sandstone in the Triassic outlier at Slapton in Start 
Bay. It is drawn on the scale of one inch to two feet. 
The lines a. b. show the dip of the beds, which measures 2° towards N. 
45° E. (mag.) 
The stratula in the beds c. and /. are parallel to the plane of stratification, 
in d. they dip 27'' towards S. 45° W. and in e. 24° towards N. 45° E., d. is 
30 inches in thickness, e. 24 inches. 
Fig 3 is intended to illustrate " False Stratifications." (See page 32), and 
4, 5, 6, to aid in the description of the phenomena observed at Watcombe.
