 river gravel.' Probably they were transported, by ice, and 

 later, redistributed to some extent by water, as indicated by 

 the evidence of current bedding, in them. The western slope 

 of Castle Hill is precipitous, and a hundred and fifty feet below 

 runs the Calder. A small piece of chert was found in the

In the Holme Valley, interesting sections have been recently 

 exposed near West Wood, Honley (450 feet), where boulder

 mounds occur which are very suggestive of glacial deposits, 

 but these have not yet been excavated. Probable connecting 

 links between Honley and the Colne are the surface deposits at
