II. C. Beasley. Lancashire. 

 A Quarry at Poulton and the relations of the Glacial markings there to others 

 in the neighbourhood. [This quarry is in the Keuper Sandstone and near the 

 north end, one face of a joint is exposed : the joint is a closed one, but the 

 part exposed is covered with Slickensides and very distinctly striated horizon- 

 tally: there are also three other exposures which are described, each showing 

 glaciation.] Proc. Liverpool Geol. Soc, 1885, vol. v, pp. 84-93. 



T. G. Bonney. Cumberland. 



On the Occurrence of a Mineral allied to Enstatite in the Ancient Lavas of 

 Eycott Hill, Cumberland. [The rocks are described as enstatite-diabase, 

 with a silica percentage of about 53 *o6 ; the enstatite is mostly converted into 

 serpentine. There are also crystals of augite and small scales of iron-glance.]

On the so-called Diorite of Little Knott (Cumberland) . . . [The character 

 of the mass varies in texture and composition from an ordinary diorite to the 

 type of rock which the author names hornblende-picrite. The paper also 

 comments on the distribution of the boulders from this source : the Anglesey 

 boulders, formerly described, are probably derived not from Little Knott, but 

 from outcrops in the island itself] Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, vol. xli, pp.
