Mr. H. Culpin writes :— The solid geology of the district is Trias, of which 
a fine fresh section in (a) the Keuper Marls is now exposed at the Crowle Brick 
and Tile Works. A small fault is shown very effectively by the contrast between 
the red and green layers, and there are some contortions which should also prove 
attractive to the photographers. {b) The Bunter sands may be seen in a pit at 
Thorne. 
The superficial deposits are (a) blown sand, (/;) peat, and {c) gravels, {a) The 
blown sand may be seen at numerous places in the district, {b) The peat will 
naturally receive a good deal of attention during the present visit. It is 20 feet
