Johns: The Yoredale and Pendleside Series. II 
Dr.Wheelton Hind* attacked the problem from the palaeon- 
tological side. He proposed the name Pendleside Series for 
the shales with limestones that intervene between the limestone 
massif of the southern area and the Millstone Grit, and had 
previously? considered that the upper portion of the massvf, 
split up as it was, traced towards the north, and was represented 
by the Yoredale Series of W ensleydale. This indefatigable 
worker has also demonstrated that the fauna of his Pendleside 
Series characterised the Lower Culm of Devonshire and the 
Continent, and that this fauna was essentially different from 
that of the massive limestone below. In several communica- 
tions he called attention to the absence of the fauna in the area 
north of Settle; that is in the typical Yoredale country. 
There were, therefore, three very different opinions as to 
the equivalents of the Great Scar and Yoredale Series in the 
southern area. The differences might be expressed briefly by 
referring to the position of the Pendleside Limestone in the 
three correlations put forward, and so strenuously upheld. 
Mr. Tiddeman considered it to be equivalent to the top of the 
Great Scar Limestone ; Dr. Marr suggested that it corresponded 
with the Upper Scar (Cam or Main of the Yoredales) Limestone, 
while Dr. Hind considered it to be a mere local development 
occurring at a higher level than the true Yoredales, and in- 
cluded it in the Upper Carboniferous. It might now be men- 
tioned that at this time there had been already published? 
a short but striking paper by De Koninck and Lohest, after a 
visit to Ingleborough under the guidance of Prof. McKenny 
Hughes, of Cambridge. _Lohest recognised in the Great Scar 
Limestone the zones of P. giganteus and P. cora. In a later 
communication§ Lohest correlated the British sequence with 
that of Belgium, and refers:again to the Ingleborough sections. 
The Upper Scar or Main Limestone was excluded (vide Prof. 
Hughes) by the authors from their correlation with the Visean 
of Belgium. These two papers, having regard to their date, 
represent a considerable advance in our knowledge of the Car- 
boniferous Limestone of Yorkshire, and deserved more atten- 
tion than they received. 
The present writer has recently|| expressed his opinion that 
the Pendleside Limestone was the equivalent of the Main 
Limestone of Ingleborough. This opinion was based on the 
assumption that, as mapped, this limestone is separated from
