- W2044904144 abstract "A RAILWAY of eight or ten miles is now in course of construction between Totnes and Ashburton in Devonshire. To a geologist the cuttings near the latter town are most interesting. I am not a geologist, although the science is deeply interesting to me. I returned from Ashburton ten days ago. The rocks there at one part of the line were evidently volcanic. They appear exactly as if they had been melted, and in boiling up a scum or froth had risen on the surface, and in cooling had left air-bubbles, now nearly filled with sometimes yellowish crystals. The rock is very hard, and has a stratum of what was once slate, ten or twelve feet thick, and as the workmen work it out it bears the colour which great fire would give it. As blocks of the other rock are torn out by powder, they are found to contain or enclose fragments several inches square of the superincumbent slate rock, too hard to be melted. This rock is not stratified, but breaks into any form. A few hundred yards off they are working through ironstone as hard as iron itself. The heavy sledge hammer rings on the blocks as on an anvil. At the east end of the town are two pits worked for umber, indeed there are several fields of which the soil a few inches below the surface consists wholly of umber. I do not expect there is any one in the neighbourhood who feels an interest in geology. I saw a letter in NATURE on a geological subject from Mr. Pengelly, of Torquay and I wrote him on the above subject. I have no doubt the line is very interesting in the other parts, as the rocks greatly vary thereabouts." @default.
