The old drainage courses which lazily wandered over the valley in every 
■direction are still very visible. 
The glacier responsible for the.se conditions, moved from north or north-east 
to the soulli and south-west as is evidenced by ice scratches, by drumlins, and by 
the many perched rocks deposited and left behind during its retreat. 
The solid geology consists of the (ireat Scar Limestone (in which the valley is 
excavated) resting on uplurneci pre-Carboniferous slate rocks. The fossiliferous 
Yoredales above the great scar may be well seen in the (jills at the head of the 
valley, and the millstone grits higher up. 
The dip of the rocks to the north is very noticeable and may suggest that 
lacustrine conditions prevailed prior to the ice age. 
The famous Yordas Cave, the Swallow Holes (Ginglingpot has a sheer descent 
of 53 yards), Rowton or Rowantree Hole mentioned above, and the perched blocks 
are worth a long journey to see. 
BOTANY. — The Botanical Section will be officially represented. 
Flowering Plants. — Kingsdale, wiiich ranges from 850 to 1,000 feet above sea 
level, does not appear to have received special attention. The alluvial soil, the 
woods, the old watercourses, the lagoons and rocky gills should form congenial 
hunting grounds. 
Mosses and Hepatics — The Yorkshire Bryological Committee will be 
officially represented by the Chairman, Mr. W. Ingham, B.A. 
Mr. Ingham writes : —Ingleton is an excellent centre for the bryologist, and a 
long list of rare and interesting mosses and hepatics could be supplied for this 
rich district. It must suffice for this circular to indicate the rate jilants that have 
been found during the last few years, the majority due to the good work carried out 
there by Mr. C. A. Cheetham and Mr. F. Haxby. 
Hepatics. The rare Riccia lescuriana and Anthelia julacea on Ingleboro'. 
Special attention should be given to this class of plants. 
Sphagna. .S. Acutifolimn var. jtisco-glancescens, S. subniiens var. obscmtitn^ 
and S. papillosum var. normale There are few records of Sphagna named 
according to the new Warnstorfian system. 
True Mosses. Swartzia montatia, Mnium orthorrynchtini, and Hypnum 
incurvatutn at Chapel-le- Dale ; Seligeria doniana in Wethercote Cave; Cvlindro- 
ihecitim coticinniim grows at Clapham and may occur at other places near ingleton. 
The following interesting mosses grow on Ingleboro', and it will be useful work 
to note their extension to other places in the district : — Andreaea alpina, 
Diphyscium foliosum var. aruti/olium, Rhabdoweisia denticulata^ Brachyodus 
irichodes, Cafnpylof>us Jiexuaus var uliginosus, Dicrantun scoparium var. spadiceuf/i, 
Grimmia torquata, Rhacornilriufn hettrosfichum var. alopecurum^ Trichostomum 
tnutabile var. copkocarpum^ Anoeciaiiginm compacttim, Zygodon lapponicus^ 
Tetraplodon mnioides, Hypnum fiuiians var. gracile, H. gii^anteum, and H. 
sartnentosum var. fallaciostim. 
Fungi. — The Yorkshire INIycological Committee will be officially represented 
by Mr. M. Malone. 
VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The Vertebrate Section will be officially 
represented. 
Mammalia. ") There does not appear to be any report at 
Reptiles and Amphibia, j present on this district. 
Birds — Dippers are not uncommon. Grey Wagtails breed at the north end of 
the Valley. Mr. H. B. Booth, M.B.O.U., reported some time ago that Merlins 
nested on the slopes of Ingleborough. 
Mr. W. H. Parkin writes that the Peregrine Falcon, Brown Owl, Long-eared 
Owl, Grasshopper Warbler, Whinchat, Wheatear, Reed Bunting, Curlew, Red- 
shank, Kingfisher, and most of the moorland birds occur. The Stonechat is 
supposed to breed tiere and a good look-out for the bird should be kept. 
CONCHOLOGY.— The Conchological Section will be officially represented 
by Mr. F. Booth, Mr. W. Cash, and Mr A. J. Moore. 
Land and Freshwater Mollusca — Mr. Booth writes: — Ingleton is well 
known to most conchologists as a very productive district. The marshy places near 
the entrance of the Swilla Glen yield Pupa anglica and Verligo antivertigo^ and 
amongst the vegetation on the hillside near Hygrcfnia fusca occurs.
