ON THE CIRCULATION OF UNDERGROUND WATERS. 385 
| In the Lincolnshire area some sections collected by Dr. Parsons 
throw light on this inquiry. He describes the beds below the Keuper 
marls, in the surface sections as ‘ a loose red sand, or friable semi-coherent 
red sandstone, often micaceous, with more coherent clayey bands, and 
with occasional partings, or pockets of red, green, or yellow ochrey 
mar].’!

_ In abstract, this section gives drift probably 28 feet, red sand 338 
eet, of which 19 feet were marl, if the red sandy marl last penetrated be 
ihe which added gives an entire thickness of marl of just 80 feet. 
‘The occurrence of the small pebbles at 176 feet and the thick marl are 
worthy of note in this section, and differ from those adjacent; they are 
probably referable to the Waterstones.
