streams or rivers to which it is due must have flowed down from 
their sources with greatly intensified velocity to what they do at 
present ; and secondly, that the agency which transported these 
large Inferior Oolite boulders was most probably ice. We have 
long been desirous of tracing, if possible, evidences of ice action 
in our neighbourhood. Mr. Charles Moore has already before 
this Club stated his opinion that the evidence of ice action may 
be traced in the deep grooves and channels which exist on the 
surface of the stiff Liassic clays on which these gravels rest. 
Hitherto I have not been sufficiently fortunate to meet with 
these traces, but the association of these partly-rounded Oolitic 
boulders with blocks of Green-sand, and their position at the 
base of the gravels resting on the Liassic clays may be accounted 
for by the carrying power of ice, and thus support Mr. Moore’s 
view. I have attempted to answer the “how” and the “whence” 
of the gravel beds; we must not forget to speak of their fossil 
contents. Recently, from the section now under consideration, 
have been brought to our museum several portions of Mammalian 
remains, one perfect molar of Elephas primigenius, and a portion 
of a second, the astragalus and molar of a bos (prob. primigenius), 
together with portions of other bones undeterminable. During a 
recent visit I was fortunate in securing a piece of deer’s horn. 
These remains were found in a band of yellowish arenaceous clay 
about midway in the section.
