of right and left thigh bones, 16 inches long ; also the fibula and two portions 

 of the pelvis, containing the sockets. These bones lay very close to the top 

 of the very coarse gravel forming the bottom stratum of the post-glacial 

 deposits.] Proc. Liverp. Geol. Soc, Part i, vol v, pp. 100-104. 



Clement Reid. Yorkshire, Lincolnshire. 



The Geology of Holderness and the adjoining parts of Yorkshire and Lincoln- 

 shire. (Memoir of the Geological Survey), pp. 177 with map, sections, and 

 index. [This memoir describes the glacial and post-glacial deposits of 

 Holderness and adjoining parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. It refers to 

 sheets 85, 94 S.E. and N.E., and also to considerable areas in 94 S.W. and 

 N.W. Flamborough Head is the northern limit of this area, and the chalk 

 downs for some way southwards its western boundary. Against these uplands, 

 and in the depression to the east and south of them, a series of glacial, inter- 

 glacial, and post-glacial deposits has been accumulated to a depth of about 

 100 feet. The almost continuous range of coast cliffs from Flamborough Head 

 to the Humber mouth exposes interesting sections of the boulder clays with 

 transported stones from remote and widely -separated sources, among which 

 are Cumberland, the Cheviot Hills, and the mountains of Scandinavia. The 

 interesting transported masses of sand and clay known as the ' Bridlington 

 Crag ' receive minute notice, and much use in their description has been made 

 of the writings of Mr. Lamplugh. There are some interesting charts from 

 1684 to the present time, showing the changes in the course of the Humber. 

 There is a good bibliography of works on Holderness dating from 1662. The 

 chapters on Economic Geology and Water Supply are very practical, and 

 there are lists of Well Borings and Sections which occupy 30 pages.] Re-

C. Ricketts. Cheshire, Lancashire. 



On some Erratics in the Boulder Clay of Cheshire, etc., and the Conditions of 

 Climate they denote. [Abridged.] [These erratic blocks, which occur in a 

 clay beneath the true boulder clay in the Mersey valley, are of a variety of 

 rocks. They show evidence not only of glacial striation, but of subsequent 

 weathering, and sometimes splitting in situ. The author explains the 

 weathering by the supposition that these boulders once formed portions of 

 land moraines, and were subsequently carried down to sea in consequence of 

 an extension of the glaciers]. Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, vol. xli, pp. 591-598.
