 have had most valuable assistance from various able geologists. 

 They are indebted to Prof G. A. Lebour, M.A., F.G.S., of the 

 Newcastle College of Physical Science, for numerous titles and 

 abstracts of papers relating to Northumberland and Dqrham; and they 

 are under a similar obligation to Mr. Alfred Harker, M.A., F.G.S., of 

 the Woodwardian Museum at Cambridge, for assistance in respect 

 of Yorkshire geology. They have also to thank Mr. Samuel A. 

 Adamson, F.G.S., Secretary of the Leeds Geological Association and
