^{page 114 note †} I suspect both these abound in the mountains of Cumberland, from specimens I have picked up among the loose fragments.

^{page 115 note *} This term has been applied to distinguish the sandstone strata, and in that sense I now use it; it is objectionable, however; for all stratified rocks present the phenomena of parallelism, consequently, without qualification, this term affords no distinction.

^{page 119 note *} The specimens alluded to, were examined by the gentlemen present when this paper was read, who considered those from the road leading to Carclaze mine, and from near Oakhampton, as Grauwacke; and those from the vicinity of Penzance as Greenstone.

^{page 120 note *} Since I read this paper, I have had occasion to pass through the transition country of Peeblesshire, &c. On former occasions, I was in the habit of searching lor characteristic specimens of the grauwacke; I now looked for such as resembled the killas of Cornwall, which I found in abundance, (Nos. 62, 63.).

^{page 125 note *} Since I read this paper, I wrote to a friend at Coniston, requesting a few of these specimens, well characterised, might be sent me: some of which are deposited, along with the rest, in the cabinet of the Society, (Nos. 64, 65.)
