Notes, by George Tate, F.G.S. 



Petromyzon marinus. A specimen of the Marine Lamprey, 

 ■which was 27 inches long, was taken in June last, in the 

 race of Lesbury Mills on the Aln. This species has been 

 occasionally seen in the Tweed, but has not been recorded 

 from the Aln. 



Glaciation at Little Mill. What is called the little lime- 

 stone, which is fifteen feet thick, is now extensively worked 

 at Little Mill, three and a half miles north-east of Alnwick ; 

 and a considerable area of the upper surface has been laid 

 bare, by the removal of the boulder clay which rests upon it, 

 and which contains blocks of sandstone, basalt, and limestone, 

 some of which are polished and striated. The exposed sur- 

 face of the limestone is hollowed roughly, and jagged, as if 

 the waves of a stormy sea had beaten upon it ; but other 

 parts are smoother, and these are polished and striated, the 

 striae being generally in the direction of north north-west to 

 south south-east.
