The observations in the present communication are restricted as much as possible to the illustration of the phaenomena connected with a group of rocks, aberrant from the slate district of Westmoreland, and extending in a singular manner about fifteen miles towards the east, under the limestone and gritstone summits of Grageth, Ingleborough, and Penygent. The tract in question, situated between the celebrated valleys of Lune and Wharfe, and containing some of the finest mountains, caves, and scars in Yorkshire, has long been frequented by the lovers of romantic scenery… ¶ It cannot be doubted that many persons have noticed the appearances of dislocation which this country presents in several directions. (pp1-2)
