BOOKS AND MAPS. — Tlie whole area is included in Sheets 50 and 60 (92 
N.W. and 97 S.W.) of the One-Inch Ordnance Map, which may be obtained 
geologically coloured. 
There is an account of the last excursion of the Union to Horton in the 
Naturalist " for 1892, pp. 177— 185. 
References may be made to Prof. Hughes' papers, diagrams, and sections at 
Crag Hill and Dry Ilill in Vols. XIV,, p. 339, and XVI., p. 67, of the " Proceedings 
of the Yorkshire Geological Society"; to the " Ingleborough Geological Memoirs," 
pp. 21 and 22; to Davis and Lee's "West Yorkshire"; and to Phillip's 
classical work. There is also a good deal of information on the District in 
Speight's "Northwest Yorkshire Highlands," and in Bank's " Walks in York- 
shire" (N.W. section). 
THE DISTRICT— Mr. Robinson writes : — Horton, at a height approaching 
Soo feet above sea level, still slumbers in hoary antiquity on the partly buried floor 
of the oldest rocks of the county. The approach from the south is notable. The 
traveller during the last seven miles of his journey will cross the two Craven faults 
(at Settle and Great Stainforth) and traverse in succession and on the line level 
millstone grits, great scar limestone, and rocks of Silurian age — phenomena which 
are due to the mighty forces of terrestial stress in times more antiquated than the 
village. 
On arrival at the Railway Station pause should be made to contemplate the 
imusually wild scene around. Glaciers and ice sheets, and the denudation which 
followed their retreat, have shaped the surrounding surface. Suites of Drumlins 
and other evidences of ice action may be discerned far away to the north, as well 
as on and between the bold escarpments of towering Penyghent, and the other adjacent 
high mountain masses. Possibly the historian Whitaker was dreaming of the ejects 
of glacial periods when he described "the forefathers of the Hamiet as cultivating 
their little grain in a damp and unsunned valley between the shades of Ingle- 
borough and Penigent."

ROUTES. — The geological party, under the leadership of Mr. Johns and Mr. 
Hawkeswortn, will proceed, on the arrival of the 10-18 a.m. at Horton, to Bee Croft 
Hall and Gillet Brice Plead, and will work south along the Western Escarpment 
of Ribblesdale (including the great quarries) to Hehvith Bridge ; thence a return 
will be made to Horton on the outcrops of the pre carboniferous rocks. Should 
time permit, Dowgill, near the village, will be examined. 
PERMISSION to visit their properties has been kindly granted by Messrs. 
Jas. Anson Farrer, of Ingleborough Hall; John Foster, of Dank Ghyell ; John 
Delany, of Settle ; T. Benson, P. Ford, of Bentham ; John Hammond, of 
Lincoln's Inn ; and the Ribblesdale Lime Co. 
Members are particularly requested to keep away from heather covered patches, 
as most of the moors have been temporarily let to strangers, and grouse shooting 
is now in progress. It is confidently anticipated that members will, as usual, do 
all in their j:)ower to discourage the uprooting of ferns and rare plants.
