TATE: THE YORKSHIRE BOULDER COMMITTEE. 67 
river. From this foundation they have dug over one hundred tons 
of gravel and boulders which can now be seen in two heaps. I have 
carefully examined them, but have found nothing new ; the boulders 
are similar to those in other parts of the valley which have been 
examined, the Buttermere granophyre being the, most plentiful. 
I crossed the river and examined the foundations of the girder on 
the south side, but there the river runs close to the natural bank, so 
that the foundation, for the most part, rests on the solid rock and 
afforded no boulders.

BRAprorp.—Lister Lane, near to Peel Park ; alt. 600 ft. :— 
‘When excavating for main drain along north side of Peel Park, 
the corporation officials came upon a pocket of Mountain limestone 
boulders, at a depth of from five to six feet from the surface. They 
were mostly small in size, grey in colour, fossiliferous, all well — 
polished and striated. They were enclosed in yellow (bleached) 
boulder clay.’
