Further Notes on the Deposits.—The Bielsbeck bone-bearing deposits 
apparently occupy a depression or hollow in the Keuper Marl of unde- 
termined width, and it appears as though this hollow is isolated and 
inclosed by the marl, though it is just possible that it may represent 
a portion of a filled-in valley or trench, the direction of which has not 
been traced. 
Scattered through the marl at various depths were angular or 
slightly rounded black flints in large numbers, and these in some cases 
formed a definite layer. Along with the flints were occasional pebbles 
of quartz and of sandstone (probably Carboniferous). None of these 
pebbles showed striz or other indication of glacial action. 
The overlying gravel was mainly composed of flint and chalk from 
the neighbouring Wolds, along with scattered fragments of quartz, 
sandstone, etc. (like those found in the underlying marl), and Gryphea 
and other fossils from the Lias. This gravel is the feather-edge of 
a wide fan which can be traced up to the mouth of a valley that 
drains from the Wolds at Market Weighton. In the thicker parts of 
this gravel, towards the mouth of the valley, other pebbles besides the 
above have been detected, including the well-known porphyrite which 
is characteristic of the upper part of the East Yorkshire drifts. The 
wide extent and depth of this gravel suggests that it has been spread 
out by floods from the melting ice, when the ice-margin abutted upon 
the eastern slopes of the Wolds. The present valley appears to be too 
short to supply a stream powerful enough to spread a sheet of gravel 
of these dimensions. 
The thanks of the Committee are due to W. H. Fox, Esq., for per- 
mission to excavate; to the tenant, Mr. Howes; to Mr. W. H. Crofts; 
and to the contractor, Mr. Thomas Moate. 
The Committee had contemplated work on another site in East 
Yorkshire, but have found difficulty in obtaining the requisite per- 
mission. Pending a final settlement of this matter, they ask for 
reappointment, with power to use the unexpended balance of their 
grant.
