These soft ‘red sands’ and ‘loose sandstones’ would appear to be 
referable to the Keuper waterstone, or are the representatives of the 
Cheshire Frodsham beds, which have been observed eastwards by Mr. 
Aveline, F'.G.S., and myself as far as Ashbourne in Derbyshire.

This section gives, in abstract, drifts probably 51 feet, and 449 feet of 
red sandstone, red sand, and coarse red sand, with 11 feet of intercalated 
marls, the whole of which may be regarded as one series, and compare 
well with the Goole section, and may be referred to the Keuper water- 
stones, and might for their important thickness be called the Goole beds. 
It may be well to reproduce the section of the Selby Waterworks, 
obtained from Mr. Wetherill by Professor Green, F.G.S. 
Surface level 20} feet above Ordnance datum; the water out of a
