A Field Meeting will be held at the IVIar*ske Quanny for the purpose of

M.A., and first worked by the late Rev. J. Hawell, F.G.S. Train leaves 
Middlesbrough for Marske at 10-42 or 11-48 a.m., and the return train leaves

granted by Mr. T. Senior on behalf of Lord Zetland, and arrangements have 
been made to fire a few shots in order to expose the plant bed. 
The following is an abstract of a paper by the Rev. G. J. Lane, F.G.S., 
read before the Geological Society, London, on the 9th November, relating 
to this quarry : — 
"The Marske Quarry is situated on the northern side of the Upleatham 
outlier in the Cleveland district of Yorkshire. It is about 500 feet above sea- 
level. In the quarry several varieties of rock are exposed, namely shales, 
small coal seams, sandstones, and a ferruginous bed. The beds are of Lower 
Oolite age, and belong to the Lower Estuarine Series. As the Millepore bed 
is absent in the district, the Lower Estuarines and Middle Estuarines may 
be one continuous deposit. From this quarry Dictyozamites was recorded for 
the first time in England, its occurrence being made the subject of a paper 
presented by Professor Seward to the Geological Society in 1903. The writer 
has obtained nearly forty species from the quarry, among which are many 
charactistic Wealden plants. This discovery is most interesting, especially 
when one considers the vast interval of time that elapsed between the hori- 
zons of the Inferior OoHte and the Wealden."
