!HE operations, extending over some years, which 

 have been undertaken for the purpose of 

 supplying the town of Wareham with water 

 cannot fail to draw the attention of Geologists 

 and others to the many interesting problems 

 which an intimate study of this remarkable 

 piece of ground presents. There is no 

 intention on this occasion of going seriously 

 into the economic aspect of the subject, but 

 there are certain points in connection with Worgret Hill which 

 may possibly interest some of the members of the Dorset Field 

 Club. These relate both to its superficial aspect and its internal 

 (i.e., geological) structure.
