wet seasons. This was observed to be the case with the Hodge 
Beck, for, just below the Hold Chaldron Mill, it disappears bodily 
into a swallow-hole. 
Perhaps, in some respects, the most interesting item in the day’s

and it is now of little interest, excepting in its associations, 
However, several members of the section, armed with candle and

a distance of twenty or thirty yards. 
The geologists were much indebted to their local guide,
