N a paper On the probable nature and distribution of the I Palasozoic strata beneath the Secondary rocks of the South Western Counties,” which appeared in the Proceedings of the Somersetshire Arch. & Nat. Hist. Soc. for 1890, the relations of the Devonshire Culm Measures were briefly discussed. In the present communication I propose to consider, specially, the Culm Measures of the South Western Counties ; amplifying in many important particulars the brief accounts published in the Geological Magazine for January, 1887, and discussing in a separate section the effects on the structure of the Culm Measures produced by the Granite. An admirable resume of the early literature of the Culm Measures will be found in Dr. H. Woodward’s invaluable paper. The general structure of the Culm Measures has long been knownf : it is admirably sketched in De la Beche’s section^ from Marsh, near Swimbridge, on the north, to Cawsand Beacon, Dartmoor, on the south, where the distribu- tion of the beds in a shallow synclinal, complicated by many lesser folds, is shown.
