Lower, Middle, and Upper Lias, the Oxford and Kimeridge Clays, 
the Tealby Clays, and Boulder Clay. The Pink or Gravel and Sand 
soils include the Spilsby Sandstone (of the Neocomian), Blown 
Sands, and River Gravel and Sand. The Green or Chalky soils

soils include the Lower Oolite series. For further details naturalists 
must be referred to the maps and memoirs of the Geological Survey. 
It so happens that the whole of Lincolnshire has been described in 
Survey memoirs as very few other counties have been. ‘There are 
four cheap memoirs which take in nearly the whole of the county. 
Their titles are as follows :— 
The Geology of the County around Lincoln, price 3/-. 
The Geology of East Lincolnshire (Louth, Alford, and 
Spilsby), price 3/6. 
The Geology of S.W. Lincolnshire (Ancaster, Grantham, etc.), 
price 4/.. 
The Geology of parts of N. Lincolnshire and S. Yorkshire 
(Frodingham, Brigg, Caistor, etc.), price 2/-. 
The best map for field work is the index map to the six inch 
Ordnance Survey. It has the parishes printed in colours and the 
roads all shown. It can be obtained from Messrs. Stanford, Cock- 
spur Street, Charing Cross, London, S.W.
