Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... seams of the Bo'ness coal-field. The preceding section (Table Y.) of a boring made in 1898 on Mosshall estate, near Foulshiels, which Messrs. ltobert Forrester & Co., the colliery-owners, have been good enough to give to the writer, shows the character of the coal-bearing section below the Index limestone in this part of the county. Only one bed of eruptive rock (the so-called "lakestone" of Blackburn) reaches so far south in this part of the Carboniferous Limestone series. It is geologically described as a pikrite, and has an extremely beautiful and interesting microscopic structure. It is interesting economically, as a rock that (although it soon crumbles down when exposed to the weather) has great capacity for resisting heat, and has long been quarried to provide soles for bakers' ovens, where high temperatures are prevailing.

The thickness of the lower part of the section, from the Main coal-seam to the Hurlet limestone, is apparently about 1,100 feet, and this includes a seam of gas-coal, 140 feet below the Main seam, as well as the beds of coal formerly worked, near the Hosie limestone, 200 feet above the Hurlet horizon.

Weeks (Bedlington), referring to the obstruction which supported water in a shaft, asked what was the distance between that point and the place whence the water was being drained. Mr. H. M.
