than my recent specimens, but I have not yet had an opportunity of 
comparing them with fruits of the same species near their northern limit.’ 
From the fresh-water shell-bed associated with the peat Mr. E. T. 
Newton has determined Planorbis spirorbis, Bithynia tentaculata, with 
probably Candona (an Entom.). 
Nort C.—In general appearance this clay resembles the purple clay of Holderness. 
Among the pebbles washed out of 30 1b. of the clay brought up by the augur, 
chalk and flint greatly predominate, but the following rocks were also represented : 
Red Chalk, black flint, Spilsby sandstone, ferruginous pebbles, quartz, basalt, and 
porphyrites, besides many undeterminable small pebbles. 
Note D.—This clay is hard and tough and very different from A and C both in 
texture and colour. It resembles in colour the basement clay of Holderness. The 
pebbles are smaller in size than in C, and there is a still higher proportion of chalk 
and flint. Among the erratic pebbles the following are recognisable :—Basalt, 
porphyrite, sandstone, black flint, grit, quartz, &c. 
Great Limber Section. 
A boring was also put down under the supervision of Mr. G. W. B. 
Macturk, who kindly undertook to aid the Committee in this manner, at 
the Great Limber brickyard, three miles south-east of Kirmington, where 
there is a further development of warp and sand, believed by Mr. C. Reid 
to be of the same age as the Kirmington deposit, though no fossils have 
been found in it. The section seen in the brickyard and proved in the 
boring was as follows :-— 
Ft. In. 
Surface soil and clay with stones (at 110 feet above O.D.) 4 0 
Loamy sand contorted and mixed with warp . : 4 0 
Laminated blue warp with sandy streaks 10 0 
Pan . : F ; 1 3 
Current bedded sand 4 9 
Sharp sand . ‘ : 3 : , S 0 
Flint, sand, and rounded chalk pebbles . 5 0 
Solid chalk with flints 5 ‘ f 1 0 
Total 38 0 
In comparing this section with the one at Kirmington it should be 
noted, (1) that no shells have been found in the laminated warp at Limber ; 
(2) that the warp does not rest on glacial clays; and (3) that the base of 
the Limber warp is 92 feet above O.D., or 28 feet higher than that of 
Kirmington. 
It would be premature to discuss the problems raised by these inter- 
esting sections until the work of the Committee has been carried further. 
For the present, therefore, we desire only to record the data thus far 
obtained. 
The thanks of the Committee are due to Mr. W. H. Crofts and 
Mr. G. W. B. Macturk for practical kelp in many ways ; also to the Earl 
of Yarborough (landlord), E, P. Hankey, Esq. (agent), and the occupiers 
of the brickyards—Mr. Hervey and Mr. Jno. Housan—for permission to 
put down the borings. 
The Committee request to be reappointed, with power to use the 
unexpended balance of last year’s grant. a
