92 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COTTESWOLD CLUB 



Few trials by deep boring or deep well sinking have been 

 made beyond those at Cirencester, etc., by Mr J. H. 

 Taunton, C.E.,^'^ and the researches by Professor Allen 

 Harker,*-^'' the two Buckman's, and Mr Witchell, whose 

 admirable papers should be consulted for Cotteswoldian 

 Geology. 



The deep and important well at Swindon, 7 miles south- 

 east of Cricklade, was commenced in the Kimmeridge Clay 

 and ended in the Forest Marble at the depth of 736 feet. 

 The sinking was abandoned through the large per centage 

 of saline matter in the water derived both from the 

 Corallian and Forest Marble beds.
