292 THE YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS UNION AT ASKERN. 
The party next proceeded via Sutton, seeing on the way an 
example of false-bedding in the Upper Magnesian Limestone, to 
ampsall, where a gravel and sand pit was visited showing features 
similar to those exhibited at Askern. The gravels differed, however, 
in containing, besides Magnesian Limestone, pebbles of quartz and 
of a coarse red sandstone. The sandstone underlying this series 
was found to contain similar quartz pebbles, and in an adjacent 
builders’ yard the sandstone was hard and desea in appearance 
Ask 
with that of the gravels. The party returned to ern via a 
limestone quarry to the north of the village, where obscure traces of 
fossils were found. 
or obvious reasons no report on the microscopic forms of life _ 
could be given at the meeting, but afterwards the finds made by the 
microscopists were worked up, and Mr. M. H. Stiles has furnished 
the following report on behalf of the investigators of pond-and ditch- 
life, as made out by Mr. J. Newton Coombe and himself. The more 
potiesable finds were Meridion at Wrancar drain, Docidium in the 
railway pond on the Doncaster ger and Volvox and Stephanoceros 
at Thorpe brick-pond. On the Campsall side Mr. Kirk found ~

nothing worth recording. 
Volvox Lanne (Thorpe). Gomphonema acuminatum.
