The Windy Gyle conglomerate is the only bed coloured in this Map as Upper Old Red Sandstone. Some persons might prefer to consider, the conglomerate in the valley S. E. of Leap Hill also of this age. On the other hand others might prefer to look upon both the beds as Basement Carboniferous. In all probability both of them are of the same age, but for certain reasons, to he mentioned immediately, it has been thought desirable to name and colour them differently. The best sections occur in the burn at the head of Rowhope. The pebbles are coated with haematite stain, and are rather firmly compacted together; sometimes the interspaces are filled with calcite. The pebbles are generally well rounded, much more so than those of the adjacent burn gravel. They consist mainly of Cheviot granite, porphyrite, and quartz-tourmaline veinstuff like that known in the granite in situ. A few pebbles of purple quartzite (or possibly vein quartz), and hard red sandstone were also observed, and one small bit of soft grey shale. . The granite is a coarse variety like that which occurs at Standrop Rigg and the head of the Breamish; it forms, perhaps, one-third of the entire bed, and often occurs in boulders 6 or 8 inches long or more. The porphyrite is generally of a purple variety, with large felspar crystals and biotite flakes, like that which forms the mass of the Windy Gyle. The thickness of the bed is probably at least 300 feet, and may be very much more. On the English side of the Border it seems to consist entirely of conglomerate as described; but a little way within the Scotch side thin beds of falsebedded yellow sandstone are to be seen interbedded with . . .
