MAPS. — Roundhay is on sheet 93 S.W. ; Roth well Haigb, and OuUon 

 are on sheet 87 N.W. of the one inch Ordnance Survey Map. 



ROTHWELL HAIGH, and OULTON.— Mr. E. Hawkesworth writes :— 

 <Jn the geological map will be seen two patches which are marked as "third 

 terrace." These consist of sands and gravels, very variable, which do not appear 

 I (J have received much attention from geologists. In the Geological Survey 

 Memoir of the Yorkshire Coalfield they are considered to be river gravels of very 

 ancient date, and only one section (in the Oulton patch) is mentioned. This 

 seems to be the only published information. Strange to say, these deposits lie on 

 the highest ground between the Aire and Calder valleys, mostly about 200 feet, 

 but reaching up to 275 feet above sea level. The sections to be examined show 

 clay, sands, and gravels, some containing very large stones. These are mostly of 

 local origin, but Carboniferous limestones and cherts are plentiful. A few 

 specimens of Silurian grit have also been found. 



ROUNDHAY.— Mr. Alfred White, F.Z.S., writes :— Roundhay Park contains 

 373 acres, and is well wooded. There are two lakes, known as the Upper and 

 Lower. In both there is fairly good fishing to be had. The water fowl on the 

 lakes include water hens, coots, ducks, and swans. 



The Gorge, a narrow and pretty valley about half-a-mile in length, is well 

 wooded with larch and other trees and shrubs, and has a stream flowing through 

 it. In summer the Gorge abounds in a rich variety of bird life.
