In the British islands, every coal district is disturbed and shaken in every square mile of its breadth by faults (' gauls, slips, troubles, and dykes'), passing in many directions, some of them having a great amount of * throw, ' and consequently affecting the 154 DYNAMICAL THEORY OF THE working of the mines. But these minor effects lose their importance when we contemplate the gigantic disruption of Tynedale, the Penine chain, the Craven fault, the Derbyshire elevation, the fault of the vale ...of Clwydd, the double anticlinal axis of the coal fields of South Wales, and the parallel one of Namur North of the Tynedale fault, is a depression or throw of 1, 000 to 2, 000 feet; west of the Penine fault 2, 000 to 3, 000 or perhaps 4, 000 feet under Crossfell ; and south of the Craven fault 3, 000 feet at least under Ingleborough. "* We shall terminate these interesting and appropriate evi- dences by a short extract from Mr. Hugh Miller's work on the "Old Red Sandstone" assured that, together, these various quotations are quite conclusive with respect to the subject under immediate consideration : " The vegetable remains of the old red sandstone, " he observes, 4 ' bear but a small proportion to its animal organisms ; and from huge accumulations of these last decomposing amid the mud of a still sea, little disturbed by tempests or currents, and then suddenly interred by some widely spread catastrophe, to ferment and consolidate under vast beds of sand and conglomerate, the bitumen seems to have been ela- borated.
