 [Report of] Excursion to the ' Hitching-stone,' Keighley Moors. [Ol^ject 

 of this excursion to solve whether this rock is a true erratic or in situ. After 

 detailed examination, result Ijeing conclusive that it is a portion of the original 

 strata of Rough Rock, which once covered the moors ; therefore, a wreck 

 caused by denudation, and not due to glacial action.] Trans. Leeds Geol.

On the Geography of Britain in the Carboniferous Period [The great 

 horizontal tract of forest clad alluvia (the cause of the coal-fieldsj wa.-. the 

 delta of a mighty river, and its enormous extent implies a river of great mag- 

 nitude and a continent of corresponding extent for drainage area. Such 

 continent he names Archaia, from the original massive being composed of 

 Archaian rocks. To this Archaia may be traced the pebbles and groups of 

 pebbles found in the coal-seams, and which have prol^ably been brought 

 down in flood -time by the roots of trees. They are, without exception, 

 quartzites, and have probably been derived from a shingle l^each of a sea 

 which Ijeat against Cambrian or Silurian rocks. The north-western continent 

 of Archaia occupied the North Atlantic area, stretching from the west coast 

 of Ireland and the Highlands of Scotlanrl to Greenland and the St. Lawrence 

 region from the Cam];rian age, through all the succeeding periods, down to 

 the close of the Miocene, and on its ever-oscillating coast-lines the British 

 primary and secondary strata were accumulated]. Trans. Manch. Geol. Soc.

 they are referable to the Bunter, or whether they may be remnants of 

 Tertiary beds]. Geol. Mag., .September, 1886, Decade iii., vol. iii. p. 432.
