THE Proprietors trust that the present~the Sixth-Edition of Kelly's Directory of the County of CHESHIRE may be found equal in accuracy to the previous ones.
It comprises a general account of the County, with the Hundreds and Poor Law Unions, a sketch of its geological features, and a description of the Cathedral of Chester, and further all places in the County, alphabetically arranged, with lists of the Inhabitants, both Private Residents and those engaged in Commerce and Trade. Under each Parish the Division of the County (as formed under the provisions of the" Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885), the Hundred, Union, and County Court District, the Diocese, Arch deaconry and Rural Deanery are given, as also the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman, as far as they can be ascertained, and the names of the Parish Clerks; and lists of the Farm Bailiffs of Gentlemen farming their own land have been added.
The County Oouncil (formed under the" Local Government Act, 1888") is included, with the names and addresses of the members, and the changes made under the provisions of the "Local Government Act, 1894."
The Manchester Ship Canal, of which a general description is given, is duly mentioned at the respective places through which it passes. ·
'rhe Proprietors have again to return their thanks to those Clergymen, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who may have assisted their Agents when collecting the information for the present Edition.
;If•• The Letters 8.0. and R.S.O. at the end of addresses in various parts of the book are abbreviations adopted by H. M. Post Office to represent Sub-Office and Railway Sub-Office; and if these initials, with the name of the County, are added to the addresses of letters in lieu of the usual name of Post Town, the delivery of such letters will be accelerated.

The rock occurs just on the east side of a great dis · . ,~ location, called the" Red Rock Fault," which we shall de · .... scribe further on. '" The Yoredale Rocks.-These beds rest upon the limestone just described and attain a total thickness in this region of · 4,000 feet. They extend from Oongleton Edge to St. James, south of Macclesfield, and thence eastward for three miles and then run up the valley of the river GO)'t to a point about half-way between Taxall and Pott Shrigley. They consist in the lower part of black shales alternating with ' thin black earthy limestones (perhaps the equivalent of the Upper Limestone Shales of other districts), then comes a considerable thickness of hard fine-grained sandstone, sur mounted by alternations of dark shales and sandstones. Fossils are scarce, but Gonatites,ICh01letes,Productus &c.have been found in Congleton Edge. The 1J;IiUstone Grit.-:-'fhe beds which bear this familiar name have been sub-divided by Professor Green as follows : Ist.-Grit, or Rough Rock, with feather-edge coal. Shales, with a thin coal at the bottom near Buxton. 2nd.-Grit, or Haslingden Flags. Shales, with two or three thin coals. 3rd.-or Roaches Grit. Shales. 4th.-or Kindtr;cout Grit, generally In t.wo beds. The total thickness of these beds is as much as 3,000 feet, In the north-east of Cheshire, near Marple; but they thin out southwards considerably. The sandstones are very massive, and of a coarse grain-often conglomeratic in fact. The feather-edge coal is a very variable seam, about 3 feet in thickness: it is finely exposed in the railway cuttings and river cliffs, near New Mills. The Millstone Grit can be traced from neal' Macclesfield, running north-east by Rainow, to New Mills, and thence along the Goyt to Marple: it also forms the moorland region of the extremenorth-east corner of Cheshire, between Longden Dale, Featherbed Moss and Holme Moss, and is pierced by the Woodhead tunnel of the Manchester and Sheffield railway. Fine sections too are to be seen along ... the course of the river Tame. Fossil remains of such plants as Lepidodend)'01l, Sigillaria and Calamites are not uncom mon, with the shells Aviculopecten and Goniatites in the roofs of the little coals. The Coal Measures.-The Cheshire Coal-field is a prolon gation of the extensive coal-field of South Lancashire, The whole of the county has been examined by the officers running due south from Oldham by Stalybridge and Hyde of the Geological Survey, and their published maps, sections to.
