GEOLOGY.— Mr. R. H. Tiddeman, M.A., F.G.S., of H.M. Geological 

 Survey, writes :— Geologists should note in driving along the Wharfe valley the 

 ^gravel drifts which form considerable features on both sides of the river. There are 

 two types, the terraces which rnnge along both sides of the valley most of the way, 

 ■and gravel mounds which occur only here and there. Of course, there are some 

 mounds which are only terraces in a state of decay. The mounds occur about Strid 

 Cottage, where, however, they are very much concealed by the woods, and also in 

 ■a group about Appletrecwick and Deebley.
