208 Miss D. Bate — A New Vole from Malta. 



Various further coincidences in symmetry appear, such as 

 disposition of the pre-Cambrian and Caiiibrian rocks of Leicestershire, 

 with their south-easterly strike as compared to the pre-Cambrian 

 and Cambrian rocks of Shropshire, with their south-westerly strike. 

 Yet other resemblances become apparent from a study of the map, 

 and it seems likely that a fuller knowledge of the distribution of 

 tlie concealed Palaeozoic rocks would yield yet other similarities. 



VI. Summary. 



1. The occurrence of anticlinal folding during Jurassic times 

 has been demonstrated by Mr. Buckman's detailed zonal work in 

 the Vale of Moreton and in the North Cottes wolds. These anti- 

 clines are indicated on the map by marked bends in the outcrops 

 of the Lower Jurassic formations. 



2. Similar bendings of outcrops are seen at several localities 

 in the Eastern and Southern Midlands, and the structure at one 

 such locality — Melton Mowbray — has recently proved to be anti- 

 clinal. 



3. Intra-Jurassic folding betrays itself by non-sequences and 

 reduced thicknesses of Lower Jurassic zones along anticlinal axes. 

 Such evidence suggests the existence of anticlinal structures in the 

 neighbourhood of Banbury, Weedon, and perhaps also Market 

 Harborough, in addition to the cases mentioned above. 



4. Movement was probably almost continuous along some or all 

 of these axes, at least from Rhaetic to Bajocian times. Outcrops 

 of post-Bathonian formations are not affected by the flexures, 

 although the folding was perhaps renewed in later Jurassic or even 

 Tertiary times. 



5. Several of these lines of Jurassic folding probably follow the 

 lines of earlier and more powerful movements. The bearing of 

 such flexures on the structure of the Palaeozoic floor is discussed. 



6. Attention is called to a curious symmetry in the disposition 

 of the Palaeozoic formations on either side of a prolongation of the 

 Pennine axis. 



Note on a New Vole and other Remains from the 

 Ghar Dalam Cavern, Malta.

TN 1916 ^ the writer published a list of the vertebrates of which 

 -*- remains had been obtained from the Pleistocene cave and 

 fissure deposits of Malta. Early this year (1919) a few rather 

 fragmentary remains were forwarded by Mr. G. Despott to the 

 British Museum (Nat. Hist.) for identification. These are from the 

 Ghar Dalam Cavern, from which a number of specimens have already 

 been obtained.- As some of the specimens lately received add to
