Il. Tue Kerrerine-roap Borine (fig. 3, p. 496)*. 
The first boring undertaken by the Water Company was com- 
menced in 1879 from the bottom of an existing well 203 feet in 
depth, situated on the Kettering road, and about one mile N.E. of 
the town. The surface of this well was 278 feet above sea- 
level. 
After 18 feet of surface soil and Inferior Oolite the Liassic series 
commenced, and continued to a depth of 738 feet.

The last 20 feet of the Lias contained several bands of indurated 
clay and limestone, and rested unconformably upon an eroded sur-

These beds were reported by Mr. Etheridge to have “no equi- 
valents in Britain,” “ no series like them ;” and it is difficult to say to 
what period they belong, no fossil of any kind having been found 
by which to fix their exact horizon. The Lias clays were uncon- 
formably upon them, the White Lias and Rheetic being altogether 
absent. The last bed (a marl) contained several blocks of a dolo-
