W. Gunn. Northumberland. 

 Posidonomya Becheri. [States that this shell was long ago recorded from Budle

B. Holgate. Yorkshire. 

 On the Geology of Leeds (Abstract) [notes river-terraces on the banks of the 



Aire, also the ancient 'bell pits,' so common in and about Leeds, formerly 

 worked extensively for ironstone]. Trans. Leeds Geol. Assoc., 1885, pp. 5, 6. 



B. Holgate. Yorkshire. 

 On Geology of the Nidd Valley. [General summary of conditions under which 

 the strata had been laid down, and alternations of beds accounted for.] 

 Trans. Leeds Geol. Assoc., 1885, pp. 35, 36. 



T. V. Holmes. Cumberland. 

 Notes on the best Locality for Coal beneath the Permian rocks of North-West 

 Cumberland. [After stating that coal-seams beneath the Permian rocks of 

 North-West Cumberland may be looked for at Maryport, Aspatria, and Bolton 

 Low Houses, uses great caution, as the available facts are few in number, and 

 such as allow but vague conclusions. Gives particulars of several borings and 

 criticises at length Mr. Kendall's paper on the same subject.] Trans. Cumb. 

 and Westm. Assoc., 1884-85, pp. 109- 119, and woodcuts. 



T. V. H[olmes]. Cumberland. 

 Changes of Channel in the Solway. [Brief note drawing attention to maps 

 published in 1841 and 1877 showing changes in the Solway channels, but no 

 details given.] Trans. Cumb. and Westm. Assoc., 1883-4, ix, 215. 



T. V. H[olmes]. Cumberland. 



Silloth New Dock. [Beds in excavating this dock consisted of alternations of 

 sand and well-rounded, false-bedded gravel resting on a chocolate clay. Clay 

 contained both local and travelled boulders, such as Criffel Granite, Ennerdale 

 Syenite, etc. Mammalian remains found at or near the base of the sand and 

 gravel. Upper formation contained remains of recent littoral shells, as Trophon, 

 Fusus, Cardium, Tellina, Pecten, etc.] Trans. Cumb. and Westm. Assoc., 

 1883-84, ix, 214. 



T. V. H[olmes]. Cumberland. 

 Section North of Silloth [section a little north of Silloth ; the low foreshore consists 

 of tough boulder clay ; above this a belt of fine clay, covered by blown sand. 

 Most interesting to note that the surface of the fine clay had been drained, 

 and exhibited evidences of the action of the plough, pointing to a greater ex- 

 tension of the land westward at no very remote period]. Trans. Cumb. and 

 Westm. Assoc., 1883-84, pp. 213-214. 



T. V. H[olmes]. Cumberland. 

 The Carlisle Water Supply [comments on 'the ancient and fish-like smell' 

 which often accompanies the water supply of Carlisle, and suggests the sinking 

 of an artesian well to tap the Kirklinton and St. Bees' Sandstone, to remedy 

 this]. Trans. Cumb. and Westm. Assoc., 1883-84, p. 213.
