FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT, FOR I9O3. I3 



made to certain irregular ridges of glacial drift occupying the 

 ground between Allerton Park, Flaxby and Clareton, the highest 

 parts of which run up to the 200 feet contour line. Particular 

 attention was paid to a pit near Flaxby village. From an un- 

 stratified sandy morainic deposit full of stones, mostly subangular, 

 and some as much as two feet in diameter, many travelled blocks 

 were obtained and examined, and it was observed that there was 

 a remarkable profusion and variety of Carboniferous Limestones ; 

 and a few grits and sandstones, but only two or three specimens 

 of igneous rocks were noted. 



In connection with the Filey excursion the Calcareous Grit 

 forming the Brig was examined and many fossils obtained, 

 including a Nautilus and three Ammonites. Passing round into 

 Gristhorpe Bay some interesting plants, including Todites 

 Williamsoni and Coniopteris hyvienophylloides were collected from 

 the Middle Estuarines. The fine exposures of Cornbrash^ 

 Keiiaways Rock, Oxford Clay and Calcareous Grit were well 

 seen. 



From Goathland, on June 27th, the geologists made a 

 traverse to Murk Mire Moor, and inspected ground which has 

 been brought into prominence in connection with glacial geology, 

 by the publication of Mr. P. F. Kendall's remarkable paper on 

 " The Glacial Lakes of the Cleveland Hills." As Mr. Kendall 

 was present to lead the party, and the day was fine, it need not 

 be said that the excursion was one of the most interesting to 

 geologists that has ever been made at a meeting of the Y.N.U. 

 Two remarkable boulders were found on Two Howes Rigg. 



On the occasion of the Bowes meeting, two or three 

 glaciated surfaces were discovered on the " Rigg," and Mr. E. 

 Hawkesworth obtained from the Carboniferous Limestone a fine 

 tooth of Petalodns HastingsiiV. 



At \\'harncliffe, no geological observations of special interest 

 were made.
