In the Cleethorpes boring the top of the chalk was very rotten, and 
had to be tubed out down to 120 feet from the surface, or 21 feet from 
the top of the chalk. The yield from this boring is only about 180,000 to 
192,000 gallons per day ; but it is evident that the water is not tubed out 
from the upper part of the chalk, or not entirely so, from the fact that, 
when this quantity is pumped, the water-level being 24 feet from the 
surface, the neighbouring wells and bore-holes, none of which do more 
than penetrate the top bed of the chalk, all lose their supply of water. 
At Grimsby Docks there is a well in the chalk 300 feet deep; the 
water is clear and palatable. Analysed by the Rivers Pollution Com- 
mission, was found to have a hardness of 22:1, of which 7°6 was per- 
manent ; chlorine was 5:00, in parts per 100,000,
