The number of inhabited. huuses in 1901 wa." 161,19I.'fhe history of Cheshire in the Iberian, Celtic ~nd

Belgian periods is almost a blank. The Romans occu~led

the county during many years; Chester, the anCIentDeva was the station of the 20th Legion, and the countywas intersected by many Roman roads, the remains of'Which may still be traced in different places. After thodownfall of the Romans, the Welsh held it till about 6°7,w:hen it fell under the power of Ethelfrith, King of Bel'­nicia' but it was recovered by the 'Velsh, who heldmuch of it till it was again taken by Egbert in 828, andannexed to the kingdom of )Il:'rci3. since which it hasalways been held by the English. For s~ve-ral centuriesit was the scene of frequent warfare WIth the Welsh.During the Parliamentary war Oheshire. was ~otly con­tested; but in February, 1646, the Royahsts weresubdued. .

William the Norman made it a county palatine for hISnephew, Hugh Lupus, ",:hose dynasty held it for twocenturies' it has been smce 1246 an appanage of theeldest so~s of the king, who hold the Earldom ofChester, with the Principality of 'yales and Duchy ofCt.,rnwall, giving &. nominal suzeramty over the Westof England. . .

The county is generally level, conslstmg of the valesof the two Q'Teat river systems of the Dee and Mersey andof the peninsula of Wirral, and includes several meresor large ponds of which Combermere is the largest;towards the no;th and east the county rises into low hillsand moorland. The soils consist of clayey and sandyloams and peat-moss, overlying the new red sandstoneformation.

The county is watered by the Mersey, the Dee n!ld the'Weaver and their tributaries. the Dane, t.he Bolhn, thePeover 'and the Wheelock. The climate is moist, a':ld,with the soil, is favourable for pasturage; the .rIchdairy-land produces the famous cheese. 1\Ia.ny agr~cul­tural and market garden products are also raIsed, sturm­lated by the demand in Liverpool, Manchester and otherpopulous manufacturing towns.

The great tongue of land between the Dee and theMersey is called Wirral, and inc1udas above 100,000acres: the southern suburh~ of Liverpool are seated on

its northern shores. The friths of the Dee and Merseyarc navigable for shipping, and have on them the portsof Bil'kenhead, Chester and RUllcorn. The Weaver hasbeen made navigable for vessels of from' 250 to 300 tonsfrom Winsford Bridge, and falls into the estuary of the)Iersev at Wl:'ston Puint Docks.

The" Manchester Ship Canal. This canal is intimatelyassociated with Cheshire, the mouth being on theCheshire shore of the Mersey, and portions of it traversethe county. The l\Ianchp.ster Ship Canal Company wasincorporated by the Act 48 and 49 Vict. c. 188, whichreceived the royal assent, 6 August, 1885. The capital\\"as originally fixed at £8,000,000, with borrowing powersup to £1,812,000, but in 1890 second debentures wereissued for £600,000, and in 1891 the Manchester Cor­poration was associated with the undertaking, andadvanced £5,OQo,000. The canal was opened for traffic,Jan. I, 1894, and the cost up to that date was£rI,750'000. The official opening by H. )1. the lateQueen Yictltl'ia took place May 21, 189+ The objl:'ct;;for which the company was formed include the purchaseof " The Bridgewater Canal Undertaking," which includesthe canals known as the Bridgewater canals ana theRuncorn and Weston canal, also warehouses and wharvesin Manchester, docks and warehouses at Runcorn, andthe Duke's dock and large warehouses in Liverpool;and" The Mersey and Irwell Undertaking," which includesthe Mersey and Irwell Navigation and the Runcorn andLatchford canal, also warehouses at Manchester andWarringt.on and the Old Quay do'Ck" at !Runcorn. Thework was begnn in X,)vember, 1887, under the ~;uperin­

Walker being the contractor until hisdeath, Xovember 25. 1889, and it was finished. underother contract;;, The canal itself is 35~ miles in length,and virtually cunsist,.; of four long dock", with five setsof locks, and 23 miles of the entire length, i.e. from Run­corn to Manchl:'st.er, has been formed by making a directand deep channel for the united streams of the )Ie-rseyand Irwell, which thp former enters at Irlam; the latter­by far the must important contributor-,passing directinto the l\IancheRte1' Docks, the ~Iel',.;ey resuming itscourse towards the sea on the north of the canal nearThelwall. The II)wer section of the canal from East.­ham to Runcorn forms a curved line of 12 miles alongthe Cheshire shore of the estuary of the Mersey, joiningat Weston Point the mouth of the navigable river~aver, which is connected with an extensive system ofcanals; the depth of the canal is 26 feet, the variouslocks ~ising' its level on the whole to 60, feet above thelevel of the sea; the minimum width at the bottom is120 feet, or 48 feet wider than the bottom of the Suezcanal; and for a distance of 3~ miles, on approachingManchester, the bottom width is 170 feet, so that shipscan lie along the banks without interfering with thefairwa,-. The )Ianchester docks are on both banks of thl:'I1'weU; chiefly in Salford, but also in )Ianche4er on thesite of Pomona Gardens, Cornbrook. They occupy a spaceof 200 acres. At Barton-on-the-Irwell (Lancashire) thecanal is crossed by the IBridgewater canal. The Barttonaqueduct moveli nn 'a radius of ~ollers; the span of eachis 90 feet; full length 235 fee-t; WIdth 8 f~et, de~th 6 f~~t ;weight when ~winging 1,4°0 tons.

pa;;t of Warrington. is a further set of lop-ks of. equal!'ize. with a fall of 16 feet 6 inches, and about a mlle anda half below this is the 'Warrington dock, The next im­portant point is at Runcorn, about 7 miles below War­rington; the docks here are always acces"ible, .insteadof at spring tides only, and the Ship canal IS con­nec~ed at this point with the London and North 'Westernrailway, the Runcorn and 'Weston canal, the Runcornand Latchford canal, and, via the river Mersey, with thetown of Widnes (Lancashire), and the Sankey Navi­gation, having on its northern bend three locks: be~ondthis the junction of the river Weaver necessitates slUICE'S,ten in number, forming here the river wall of the canaland constructed to allow free access of the waters of theMersey. The canal, from the spot at which it emergesinto the estuary of the :Mersey, is separated from it bya strongly constructed wall up to the entrance locks, atEastham, respectively 600 feet long and 80 feet WIde,':250 feet long and 50 wide, and ISO by 30; the sills of the~ates are 11 feet lower than the deepest dock sills. atLiverpool or Birkenhead, and the channel approac~mgthem is dredged three feet deeper than the l~ck sil,ls.Ellesmere Port is the only outlet for the ShropshIre Umonsystem of eanals. The locks on the Manchester canal are notsingle, 'but are built in pairs, with intermediate goates. toavoid waste of water in the passage of vessels of varioustonnage, and besides the principal locks there are suh­sidiary locb (side entrances) :1t Weston 'Marsh, '''eston~ersey, ·Bridgewater, Runcorn (Old Quay), Walton andTwenty-Steps. Vessels can navigate the canal with safetyat a speed of five miles an hour, and it is estimated thatthe passage from the entrance at Eastham to Manchestercan be accomplished in eight hours for the largest vessels,and five for average ones, which is much less timethan is at present taken to cart goods fromship to rail in Liverpool and thence by railto Manchester. The decks at Weston Point arejoined to the great Cheshire salt field by t.he WeaverNavigation, over which a million tons of salt is carriedyearly for exportation. At RuncoI'n, the Ship CanalCompany, as the owners of the Bridgewater docks, areconnected with the Staffordshire potteries and coal andiron industries by the Trent and Mersey and Bridge­water canals. At Partington and Barton, the Wigan andWorsley coal-fields are only a few miles from the canal.The Partington coal basin again, with its 5~ acres ofwater space and a half mile of quayage, giving an areaof 20 acres, is only 8 miles from the nearest Lancashirecolliery, and about 40 miles from the nearest SouthYorkshire coal-field, which at present has no availableoutlet on the west coast. There is direct railway com­munication, the Cheshire Lines system crossing thecanal at this point. The Eastham section of thecanal was flooded 19 June, 18gI, and the first flotilla oftraffic from Ellesmere Port passed down into the Merseyon, the following 15 July; on IS September, 18gI, thewater was admitted up to Weston Point, and on 25November, 1893, the canal was entirely filled with water.The district affected by the Manchester Ship canalcontains over 150 important towns, 100 of which have apopulation of more Lhan 10,000, and in eleven of thesethe population exceeds 100,000; the total population ofthis area m~ be taken at 7,5°0,000, and it is also richin minerals and great industries. The offices of theCompany are at 41 Spring gardens, Manchester; AlfredH. Whitworth, secretary.

The other canals include the Grand Trunk, or Trentand Mersey canal, the Chester and Nantwich canal, theMacclesfield canal, the Ellesmere canal, Shropshire Unioncanal and the Peak Forest canal.

Cheshire is connected with the great system of railwaysby several lines, chiefly connecting with the south andcontinuing the Lancashire communication. The Londonand North Western railway is· the chief of these,passing from the south by Stafford, Crewe, Winsfordand Warrington to the north, and by Runcorn acrossthe Mersey to Liverpool. Fro!D. Crewe branches pass toSandbaeh junction, Stockport and Manchester on thenorth-east, to Chester on the north-west, on the south­west through Whitchurch to Shropshire and SouthWales, on the south-east to the Pottery District. FromChester lines run to Holyhead in North Wales, andthrough Shrewsbury to the Welsh borders and to SouthWales. Another line connects Macclesfield with Stafford­shire, and there is also a line from Stockport throughCheadle and Lymm to Warrington. At Crewe are the£!,reat engineering works of the London and NorthWestern railway. The London and North Western andGreat Western joint railway have branch lines fromChester through 'Hooton junc'tion to Birkenhead, throughHelsby junction to Frodsham junction and Run(!orn,

from Hooton junction to 'Vest Kirby, where it joins theWirral railway, and one from Whitchurch through Malpasto Ohester. The Great Western .railway have a branchline from Shrewsbury to Crewe. The Cheshire LinesCommittees railway have branches from Sandbaeh through~1iddlemch, Nortlmich, Knutsford, Altrincha~ andBowdon to Manchester and Stockport, also to Cheadle"nd from Northwich to Chester, and to Helsby on the.London and North Western and Great Western -jointline and another to Over. The Great Central (late-'Ianchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire) railway have­a line from Stocliport through Hyde and Dllkin­field to IStalybridg-e, one from 'Stockport to Man­chester and· another to ::\Iacclesfield. This com­pany opened, in 1896, a new line from Dee Bridge,passing through Parkgate and Upton to Bidston junctionon the Wirral railway, and to the Mersey tunnel atBirkenhead. The Midland railway enters the countyfrom the extreme north-east at Marple, passing throughHyde to Manchester. This Company opened a line in1902 from New ~Iil1,;;. in Derbyshire to Cheadle Hpath,neal' Stockport. The Xorth Staffordshire railwayhave a branch line from Stoke. Staffordshire, througbCongleton and 'Macclesfield to Manchester and anotherto Crewe. The Manchester, South Junction and AI­trincham railway connects those places and has a stationat Sale. From Birkenhead the Wirral railway starts.passing through Wallasey and Hoylake to its terminus atWest Kirby; this branch has a line from Wallasey to ~cwBrighton.

The minerals worl{ed in Cheshire are fire-clay, hrick­clay, coal, salt, gravel and sand. sandstone, limestone;Coal is largely worked near Stockport, and is found illWirral; the amount raised in 1900 was 699.451 tonR,valued at £,67.212. Salt is a great industry in thi!'county and obtained in large quantities from mines and'salt springs at Northwich, Nantwich, Middlewich andWinsford; it is manufactured for the supply of England'and for the export trade; for particulars of the productionand manufacture, see Northwich. p. 46I. The quantit)rof rock salt raised in I900 (including Staffs.), was 5I,6gotons, and salt from brine (including Staff,;;.), 1,188,815tons. Fire-clav was raised to the extent of 17,916 tons'in 190I, and bricl{-clav, 4, I95 tons ;g-ravel and sand.26,375 tons. Sandstone was raised to the extent ofIIQ,086 tons, in IgOO, valued at f39.297.

From its contiguity to South Lancashire the manu­factures of that district have extended into this countyt

including those of cotton and silk, fustian, woollen,worsted, flax, lace, ribbons and trimmings, hose, boot9and hats; cotton printing and dyeing are also carriedon. Ship-building. chie~y on the Mersey, rope-makingand sail-cloth; also manufacture of chemicals, soap­boiling and tallow chandlery, but salt is the principatproduct of the county. The paper manufacture is small.and so is that of pottery. Brewing and malting are notcarried on so extensively as in manv other shires.

Bricks are made exiensively; there are some smallworks for the copppr. lead and zinc manufactures, andthere are some machine works.

Bv the Act 1 Wm. IV. call. 70, abolishinrr thp pnl::.tine'jurisdiction, the shire is 50ined with the North Waleitcil"<."uit, and! it has one court of quarter sessions. Chesteris the shire town nnd seat of the assizes and quarterRessions. The county is divided into 16 petty sessionaldivisions.

The shire contains 469 and parts of 10 civil parishes,.and is within the province of York,. and forms a diocesecomprising the whole of the countv of Chester. with thecounty nf the city of Chester. It is divided into thearchdeaconries of Chester and Macclesfielri. ChestpT"archdeaconrv is subdivided into the rural deaneries ofBirkenhead,· Chester, Frodsham, Malpas, Middlewich.Nantwich and Wirral; Macclesfield archdeaconry iscmbdivided into the rural deaneries of Bowdon, Conglet-on,Macclesfield.

THE GEOLOGY OF CHESHIRE.

[KELLY'S,

The whole of the county has been examined by the officersof the Geological Survey, and their published maps, sectionsand memoirs form a full and satisfactory guide to a completeknowledge of its structure.

)Ir. Binney's papers were chiefly published in the Pro­ceedings of the Literaty and Phi1osophical Society of Man­d~ester, and thos~ of Mr. ~orton in the publications of theLIverpool .....GeologIcal SOCIety, and of the Literary andPhilosophical Society. .:::::-

Cheshire forms an exception to the fact that in' 'Englandthe ol~es~ rocks occur a~ a rule in the north-west part ofany distrIct whose geologIcal structure we wish to describe.

'Of these, however. Professor E. Hull claims no of 21 miles, the town of Mold being the central point.fewer than 28, :\lr. G. H. :\Iurton. of Liverpool, 19, and Looking from these hills eastwards we have before us anMr. E. W. Binney, of Manchester, r8. extensive plain composed of "Red Rocks" of Triassic age,

thickly overlaid with boulder clay, and composing, as hasbeen said, nine-tenths of the county. This plain is over 40miles in width and its eastern boundary is formed by arepetition of the identical strata-the Carboniferous Lime­stone, Millstone Grit and Lower Coal Measures, upon whichwe have taken our imaginary stand in Flintshire.

As the oldest rocks occur in the north·east we must com·Kl mence our geological description there.r::l CAunoNIFhROUS FORMATloN.-The lowest bed or member~w, of this well-known series of rocks is the Carboniferous or] Mountain Limest01le, which in Derbyshire occupies an ex­00 tensive tract of country between Buxton and Matlock. In~ Cheshire it only peeps up at one point, viz. the Astbury~ , lime works, east of Congleton. It hardly occupies any~ ! surface area and is said to have been discovered by a Derby­t I shire servant girl about 200 years ago, who noticed that the~ rock in the brook was the same as she had seen burnt forH hme in her native county; it has been worked ever since,~ and is much sought after, as it yields a good hydraulic~ lime. 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 of4,000 feet. They extend from Oongleton Edge to St. James,south of Macclesfield, and thence eastward for three milesand then run up the valley of the river GO)'t to a pointabout half-way between Taxall and Pott Shrigley. Theyconsist in the lower part of black shales alternating with 'thin black earthy limestones (perhaps the equivalent of theUpper Limestone Shales of other districts), then comes aconsiderable thickness of hard fine-grained sandstone, sur­mounted by alternations of dark shales and sandstones.Fossils are scarce, but Gonatites,ICh01letes,Productus &c.havebeen found in Congleton Edge.

The 1J;IiUstone Grit.-:-'fhe beds which bear this familiarname 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 thinout southwards considerably. The sandstones are verymassive, and of a coarse grain-often conglomeratic in fact.

The feather-edge coal is a very variable seam, about 3feet in thickness: it is finely exposed in the railway cuttingsand river cliffs, near New Mills.

The Millstone Grit can be traced from neal' Macclesfield,running north-east by Rainow, to New Mills, and thencealong the Goyt to Marple: it also forms the moorlandregion of the extreme north-east corner of Cheshire, betweenLongden Dale, Featherbed Moss and Holme Moss, and ispierced by the Woodhead tunnel of the Manchester andSheffield railway. Fine sections too are to be seen alongthe course of the river Tame. Fossil remains of such plantsas Lepidodend)'01l, Sigillaria and Calamites are not uncom­mon, with the shells Aviculopecten and Goniatites in theroofs of the little coals.

The Coal Measures.-The Cheshire Coal-field is a prolon­gation of the extensive coal-field of South Lancashire,running due south from Oldham by Stalybridge and Hydeto. Macclesfield. The Lower Coal Measures rest upon theMillstone Grit, and include some thin seams of coal, knownas. the Gannister Coal, the Bakestone Dale Coal &c. TheMiddle Coal Measures contain the chief workable seams,which crop out about two miles to the east of Stockport andPoynton. There are from six to ten seams, of good thiCk­!less ~nd q~ality; the lowest u. the Redacre mine, which isIdentIcal. WIth the famous .Arle'l/, or Rfl!Jley mine of SouthLancashIre. .

Fossils.-The o~dinary coal-measure plants, alreadyenu­merated for the MIllstone Grit•. occur in fair abundance.

the top of the first of the two series of escarpments, whichcan be traced in Triassic dIstricts; the second escarpment­further to the east-being due to the hard beds at the baseof the Keuper division. Very fine sections of th(> Pebblebeds are exposed in the banks of the Dee, at Holt; thencewe can trace the Bunter beds by Chester, and the varioussub-~ivisionsare well shown at several points in the peninsulaof WIrral, both on the coast, as at Burton Point (junction ofPebble beds with Lower Mottled Sandstone), West GrangeHill, West Kirby, Eastham (ditto), Hilbre Point, the" RedNoses" at New Brighton (Upper Mottled Sandstone), and invarious quarries inland at Shotwick, Birkenhead &c. TheBunter is a splendid water- bearing formation, and wells sunkin it nea~ ~irkenheadare now yielding a total of more thanseven millmns of gallons daily, whilst Liverpool is derivingan equ!ll quantity from the same rock, on the northern sideof the Mersey. The town and works of Crewe are suppliedwith water of singular purity from a deep well in the NewRed Sandstone, sunk at Whitmore station, on the recom­mendation of Professor Hull, affording another proof of theimp~rtance of geological knowledge to our every-day lifeand mterests.

The Keuper BedlJ.-On the Continent we find thick bedsof a shelly limestone-the Muschelkalk, restin~ upon theBunter, but these are absent in England, and we infer thatthis region was probably elevated and formed dry land fora time, to sink again when the Keuper strata 'were being

deposited. Conformation of thistheory is obtained from the fact that.where the junction of the Bunter andKeuper beds is exposed, the formerare seen to present a worn, uneven,or eroded surface, telling .of a longinterval of time, during which theywere exposed to denuding influences.

The lowest Keuper bed is a hardconglomerate and above it come lightred, yellow, or w\lite sandstones, yield­ing building stone of good quality.Then come the U Water-stones," sonamed by Mr. Ormerod, from an ap­pearance on the surfaces like wateredsilk, although the term is nowgenerally understood to apply to thecopious flow of water which these beds

CD yield when tapped by a boring. ~exte we get a great thickness-over 1,000I feet-of Red ~rls, with beds of rock­... salt near the base, and an irregularr:: band called the Upper Keuper 8aml­g. stone, about 200 feet from the top.•.~ All the plain of Cheshire east of "the;~.g Peckforton Hills is composed of these~,.::l Keuper beds, but the monotony of the~ ~ surface is relieved by one or two strik­~ ': ing escarpments, which we will tirst:; ~ describe. Between Malpas, Tarporley~ i and Frodsham, there exist several:. ~ faults, running north and south, which: ~ with the unequal hardness of the strata? ~ have produced escarpments of con­~?; siderable abruptness and altitude.~: The Peckforton Hills rise to a height=- -5 of nearly 1,000 feet, as at Larkton~ gj Hill, Lee Cliff, Carden Cliff, Raw Head:: f: and Beeston. Their western slopes are(J. g formed of Hunter sandstone, and thet § summits consist of the hard con­"'§:g glomerate basement bed of the Keuper.~ rii To the north and south they at"e cut off

by cross-faults, and on the east theirboundary IS a north and south faultwith a downthrow to the east whichbrings in the Keuper marls. Springsburst out all along the line of thiS east.fault, from Bees~n Castle to Malpas,

>'! and a lode or copper ore has been.-:worked in It at Gallantry Bank.

At Alderley Edge in the north-eastof tbe coonty we get another ele.ationformed of Keuper sandstone aM con­glomerate. The Edge runs east andwest for about 2 mIles from Chorley

~ to Haresfield, and rises to a height of~ 650 fe~t. Carbonate of Copper occurs~ here also, and the ore is now worked;§w. it is from the occurrence of copper ore

In 1875 there were 37 collieries at work in Cheshire, andthey raised 658,945 tons of coal, besides 8,200 tons offire-clay, 1,000 tons of oil shales, and 1,500 tons of iron ore.The amount of coal remaining to be extracted was estimated~n 1871 by Mr. Dickenson at 200 millions of tons; in 1879there were 26 collieries at work, producing 720,350 tons ofcoal and 6,062 tons of fire-clay.

The .J..Ve!Jion Colliery.-We must not dismiss the coal ques­tion without mentioning that coal is worked at Neston, 00

the north side of the river Dee. The beds here are evidentlya continuation of the seams which form the Flintshire coal­field.

Scene]'}/ of East Clushire.-The tract of land formed bythe old Carboniferous rocks, which we have been describing,constitutes a bold and hilly country, forming the west flankof the Pennine Chain. Sev-eral hills rise to a height of above1,000 feet,as Cloud HiIl,near Congleton(capped by 3rd Grit).1,190 feet; Tegg's Nose, near Macclesfield (3rd Grit), 1,300feet; Sllurce of the Goyt, 1,600 feet; Eddisbury. Hill, 1,000feet; Northern Nancy, near Kerridge, 930 feet. 'rheheightofMarple Church is 624 feet; the Cage in Lyme Park, 882feet; Park Moor, south side of Lyme Park, 1,35° feet &c.

The st/·ike or direction of extension of the strata is nort.h ~

and south, and in this direction we see lines of hills and zescarpmentsto run ,vith wonderful regularity, the" scarps" ~being formed of the hard sandstones, while the valleysbetween have been excavated by rivers out of the softershales., ,The whole country rises at once from the Plain ofCheshire on the west: it is cut off from it in fact by agreat line of dislocation known as the Red Rock fault, ==which has been traced along the west Ride of Congleton :IiEdge by Astbury lime works, the North Rode viaduct cross- ~ing the River Dane, Broad Oak Reservoir, Macclesfield, and .!Ill

thence nearly due north out of the connty. On the east 3side of this great fault the beds have been heaved up severalthousands of feet, and from the top of the elevated mass allthe red sandstones and mads which once stretched continu­ously eastwards have been worn off. The hard beds of theCarboniferous formation, however, have been better able towithstand denudation and now stand up in bold relief.Another dislocation, known as th~ Anticlinal Fault, runsparallel to the Red Rock Fault, about 3 miles to the eastof it.

THE PERltUAN FORMATION.-The Lowel' Red Sllnd~one

is found on the east of Stockport, forming a tract I! miles in ~width, and narrowing southward until it ends east of Poyn- 0ton. Many sections are shown in the banks of the Mersey, !near Stockport, where the rock is seen to be a bright red,sometimes striped and mottled sandstone, very soft andcruIQbly and without pebbles. The beds dip to the west­wards. A little outlying patch of Permians also occurs atTorkington, near Hazel Grove: the beds here are only to beseen in the brook-courses.

THE TRIA.S, OR NEW RED SANDSTONE.-It is in Cheshirethat the 'rriassic formation attains its chief British develop­ment, both in thickness and in the extent of surface occupied~a .

At first sight it seems almost hopeless to fix any defimtelines markinO' sub-divisions, in the great mass of red sand­stone and ~arls, which attain a total thickness in thiscounty of over 3,000 feet. By long continued and patientwork in the field, Professor Hull has been able to constructthe following table, showing the various beds from .below ~upwards, and to trace and map them at every pomt ~ 0which the formation extends. The thickness of-each bed m ~Cheshire is also given. ]
