Collected by C. E. de Rance from Mr. E. C. B. Tudor, C.E., Goole. 



1. Hook Road, at N.E.R. cottages. Total depth, 200 feet; 4-inch bore-hole for 

 domestic supply. Warp. — Blue marl, with gypsum (Keuper marls). Surface level 

 about 10 feet above the Ordnance Datum; bottom of boring 190 feet below it. 



2. Armin, village supply, boring 200 feet ; all in soft New Red sandstone. Surface 

 level about 10 feet above O.D. ; bottom of bore-hole 190 feet below it. 



3. Booth Ferry Road, Goole Local Board, 6-inch trial bore, 366 feet deep. Pro- 

 bably the first 28 feet was drift, the remaining beds being sands and sandstones, 

 with 80 feet of marls in six beds. The surface level is 10 feet above O.D., and that 

 of the bottom of the bore-hole 3.56 feet below it. 



4. Rawcliffe Bridge, Goole supply. Well 60 feet deep, 10 feet diameter. No 

 boring works were commenced in 1882. The engine-house floor is level with the 

 canal, which is 115 feet above O.D. The water stands at 28 feet below the surface, 

 and at 40 feet after 24 hours' pumping, or 17 feet and 29 feet below O.D. respectively. 

 Before any pumping took place it stood at 22 feet from the surface, or 11 feet below 

 O.D. The average quantity of \vater pumped is a quarter of a million gallons; 

 working the two pumps double that quantity can be lifted. 



4fl. Pulp Works, about 400 yards to N.E. Well-boring 300 feet deep, of 12 inches 

 diameter, in red sandstone. Yield \\ million gallons per day, which lowers the water 

 level of No. 4 3 feet. Level above O.D. about 12 feet. 



5. New Bridge, near Snaith. Goole Local Board trial boring, 500 feet, with 

 6-inch diameter. The boring is about 17 feet above O.D., the bottom 483 feet below 

 it. The section in abstract is as follows : — 



46 feet brown warp, peat, and loam 

 51 „ gravel, magnesia limestone fragments 

 500 ,, red marly sand and variegated marls .

Of the red measures 32 feet consist of coarse red sand, 11 feet of variegated marls, 

 the balance of marly sands ; the whole I regard as belonging to the Keuper Water- 

 stones, and call the ' Goole Beds.' They appear to be part of the series found at the 

 Booth Ferry Road, and if so the beds must be repeated by a fault ; but, if so, the 

 latter can have no great north and south range, for if it had no water from the west 

 could pass through it, and no water would be found at Rawcliffe and Goole. But it 

 is quite possible that an east and west fault, with a southerly downthrow, ranges
