234 Yorkshire Naturalists at Malton. 
Half a mile from Norton, in some of the usual field excava- 
tion of the present day, were seen sections of stratified sands. 
and gravels, They were horizontal, such as might be deposited 
by quietly moving water in a lake bed. 
A second very interesting gravel section was seen in a sand 
pit near the Electric Power Station about a mile west of New 
Malton. It was near the 100 foot contour line and in the 
region of the old lake shore.

Section near the Electric Power Station, New Malton. 
The materials are evidently current-bedded and are sorted 
out into layers with regularity and nicety. The beds lie at 
an angle of 45°; they are in series, ten of which are exposed. 
In each series, there are three bands; (a) about nine inches, 
of pebbles averaging four inches in diameter, (b) one foot of 
pebbles resembling small marbles, (c) fine sand, all very much 
waterworn. Most are oolitic, and fossils are plentiful. The 
large flattened pebbles lie with their long axes on the 45° 
slope. They seem to lie just as deposited, possibly by the 
wash up from the strong currents crowding together here from 
North West, North and North East, as they hurried into the 
Naturalist,.
