is in plan a half qnatrefoil, and appears to be new ; the first 

 whole pillar is octagonal, the second is in plan a qnatrefoil, 

 the third octagonal, and the fourth a half quatrefoil, being 

 attached to the rectangular pier above mentioned. The 

 transept arch and pillars (which are square with chamfered 

 angles) also appear to be original. The Arches are of two 

 orders, with a chamfered hood. The carving of the caps 

 consists of grotesque animals and conventional foliage, but 

 has been all re-faced ond spoilt. The sculpture on the cap of 

 the second whole pillar evidently represents the chase, having 

 a wild boar and other animals carved on it. The south 

 Arcade and Transept appear to be entirely new. The pillars 

 are in plan round, octagonal, quatrefoil, and one has six 

 email shafts, about 5 inches diameter, arranged round a 

 centre pillar. This particular pillar, with its cap, has been 

 copied from an old one, as the mutilated cap, with portions 

 of the small shafts, may be seen on the north side of the 

 Church, outside. Ihe carving consists of grotesque animals, 

 and with roses round the upper part. As this is the only 

 portion of old work which has not been re-faced it is a pity 

 that better care is not taken of it. The most appropriate 

 place for it would be inside the Church. 



On the wall of the north Aiele are shallow buttresses, two 

 feet wide and with 7 inches projection. These appear to be 

 original work. 



GEOLOGICAL NOTES OF AN EXCURSION MADE 

 BY THE FIELD CLUB TO RUNSWICK BAY, 



ON JUNE 1st, 1895. 

 By W. Y^ Veitch. 



On approaching Runswick Bay from the Railway Station 

 (Hinderwell) we came upon a ravine to the left of the road, 

 the surface indication of a fault which lowers the stratification 

 towards the north. A view of the Bay, before making the 

 descent, shows how the Bay has been formed. It is evidently 

 an old Avaterway filled up with boulder clay, undergoing the 

 process of being washed away. The Bay, from Kettleness 

 point to where we are standing, has been cleaned out by the 

 erosive action of the sea ; even the boulder clay bank between 

 the cliffs of oolite and lias is slipping gradually into the sea, 

 forming a veritable " glacier " of clay with its miniature 

 crevasses, leaving a " glacier foot " of boulders comprising 

 Mountain Limestone, Granite, Permian Limestone, New Red
