  Discussion. 
  

  

  The 
  President 
  spoke 
  of 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  physical 
  and 
  palseonto- 
  

   logical 
  information 
  conveyed 
  in 
  this 
  paper. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Tiddeman 
  spoke 
  of 
  a 
  section 
  he 
  had 
  found 
  along 
  the 
  Greta, 
  

   near 
  Ingleton, 
  where 
  some 
  thin 
  limestones 
  occur 
  at 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   height 
  above 
  the 
  true 
  Coal-measures 
  : 
  over 
  the 
  latter 
  were 
  plant- 
  

   bearing 
  sandstones, 
  shales, 
  and 
  clays 
  ; 
  and 
  apparently 
  corresponding 
  

   with 
  them, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  synclinal, 
  were 
  beds 
  of 
  similar 
  

   rocks, 
  but 
  with 
  limestone 
  interbedded. 
  These 
  were 
  almost 
  dolomitic. 
  

   JSTo 
  organic 
  remaius 
  had 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  them. 
  It 
  was, 
  however, 
  just 
  

   possible 
  that 
  these 
  limestones, 
  being 
  near 
  the 
  Great 
  Craven 
  Fault, 
  

   might 
  not 
  be 
  Upper 
  Coal-measures 
  but 
  Toredale-beds 
  ; 
  but 
  on 
  

   the 
  whole 
  the 
  probability 
  lay 
  the 
  other 
  way. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Cruttwell 
  inquired 
  the 
  thickness 
  of 
  the 
  limestone. 
  In 
  

   Australia 
  there 
  were 
  limestones 
  with 
  Productus 
  reticulatus 
  under 
  the 
  

   productive 
  Coal-measures. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Murie 
  said 
  he 
  thought 
  that 
  rootlets 
  of 
  Lepidodendron 
  had 
  

   been 
  found 
  in 
  situ 
  in 
  the 
  north. 
  He 
  thought 
  these 
  beds 
  could 
  be 
  

   traced 
  westward 
  to 
  the 
  other 
  coal 
  of 
  Scotland. 
  

  

  The 
  President 
  remarked 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  singular 
  how 
  closely 
  some 
  

   of 
  the 
  Australian 
  fossils 
  corresponded 
  with 
  those 
  of 
  Britain.
