The latter part of this year has seen considerable excavations 
in various parts of the town, which were rendered necessary by the 
new drainage works, In the region near the Midland Station the 
Middle Lias was cut into, the depth of the excavations being 
some fifteen fect.

complete list will be given in next year’s Report. Gryphrea 
Incurva was also found, and one or two Belemnites.
