For the Geological Section, in the absence of all its ofticers, 

 Mr. F. Fielder Walton, of Hull, who has paid special attention to 

 the district, and is the author of a memoir upon it which has been 

 reviewed in this journal, reported that the party leaving the Green 

 Dragon at Welton first went to the entrance to Welton Dale ; then 

 to Elloughton and along the high-road to South Cave ; then over 

 Mount Airy and across Woodale into Brantingham Dale ; then 

 through the plantations on the hill-sides to Elloughton and back 

 again to Welton. Several deviations were made for the purpose of 

 examining the pits and quarries along the route. The Millepore 

 Limestone, the lowest of the strata examined, is in this locality about 

 20 ft. in thickness, and consists of bands of bluish limestone usually 

 massive and well jointed. After exposure to the weather it changes 

 to a pale yellow or brown colour. The upper portions of the 

 Millepore Limestone become alternated with beds of sand and 

 .gradually become changed into the Sandy Oolite. The Sandy
