SOIL FROM MR HOPE, FENTON BARNS. 



This was a light loamy soil, of a pale yellowish colour. It 

 contained a considerable number of small rounded stones, most 

 of which were fragments of trap, some of them much decom- 

 posed, but there were also pieces of what appeared to be a 

 ferruginous sandstone. The subsoil was similar in appearance, 

 but contained a much larger quantity of highly divided matter 

 or clay.
