Abstract
The two systems for the purposes of this
paper are grouped as one under the term
Carboniferous system. By common consent the name given to this system, in
Europe especially, applies to a vast series of rocks, well
represented in every division of the globe, composed
principally of alternating beds of sandstone, shale, fireclay,
ironstone, coal, and limestone.
