It is a remarkable circumstance that, although theslip, or throw, is here so enormous, yet, that the derange-ment, arising from the increase of inclination of the strata,extends but a very short distance from the dyke.

Closing KiUingworth House, which is, as before stated, about 950yards north of the dyke, is built upon the Grindstone Post, awell-known sandstone bed here at the surface; but, if wewished to find tiiat bed at the dyke, we should have to sink120 fathoms before we reached it. The occurrence of the red sandstone, in the situation de-scribed, affords evidence of great value in estimating the cor- * The depth at which the High .Main Coa! is worked in Whitley Col-liery, on the north of the dyke, is, by mistake, stated to be fifty fathoms inthe 4th volume of the Geological Transactions, page 25. rectness Prof. Bessels Additions to the Theory of Eclipses^ S^-c. 417 rectness of the views taken of this stratum in the foregoingnotice.
