(Holy Cross Church to Sorelto) (83) - About a mile southward from the junction with the N+5 road, a stream crossing the road shows the base of the Black shale at 1000. It overlies about 2 feet of the dark brown fine grained Devonian and this lies on at least 1-2 feet of grey grunidal Ca- neiferous. There may have been more. The Squire limestone occurs beneath. (102) - A short distance north of the Holy Cross Church, the road crosses a stream. The following section can be made out on going west- ward down the stream. The top of Black Shale at its junction with the Sub carboniferous is found at 1030. The top of the An- sel, beneath the Black Shale is seen at 979. The Upper Oegord shale is 2 feet thick. The Sarel limestone is 3 feet thick. The Upper Os- gord shale is 2 ft., the Oegord limestone is 22 inches, the Spur Oegord shale is below. For thick- ess see next section. (103) - Along the road south east of Holy Cross Church, the Sarel Oegord shale is 38 feet thick. The thickness of the Chlinton can not be determined, although Chlint with Chlinton fossils is seen in the soil. The thick- ess can not exceed 11 feet and may be much less. (104) - A little over 3 miles south east of Holy Cross Church on the road to Sorelto, the top of the Ollernarian bed is seen at 920. The top of the Lyeany stone at the top of the First Silurian is seen at 1008. Chlint or Chlint fragments or clay above this str level, but the thickness is not known. (105) - A mile eastward, the road joining the Mautar Sorelto pike, near a church. Two- thirds of a mile southward and about the same dis- tance north of Sorello.
