 Grit, Oxford Clay, and Lower Oolites, with fossils]. Trans. Leeds Geol.

W. H. Gill. Yorkshire. 

 Iron Ore from Allotment Gardens at Stourton [this deposit due to the flow of 

 an ancient watercourse heavily charged with iron, which had converted the

J. G. Goodchild. Cumberland. 

 The Penrith Sandstone [an exhaustive account of the Penrith Sandstones of the 

 Lower Permian series ; giving also a sketch of Cumberland at the time when 

 they were deposited, their relation to the older strata, and speculations as to
