BOOKS AND MAPS.— The whole area is included in Sheet 87 of the One 
Inch Ordnance Map, which may be obtained geologically coloured. For notes on 
the Geology and Botany see Davies and Lees' "West Yorkshire," and Lees' 
*' Flora of the West Riding." 
HEADQUARTERS.— The Glyn Hotel, Doncaster. 
ROUTES. — The members will meet at Doncaster Station on the arrival of 
the 10-57 a.m. train from Leeds, etc., and will proceed by Motor Char-a-Banc 
{fare i/- each), to Hampole, Here one of two routes maybe taken, ist — through 
Hampole Wood, Brodsworth, Pickburn and A dwick-le-Street. This will probably 
be a good ramble for Coleopterists, many of the timber feeding species being 
common about Hampole Wood. Br\ologists also would do well on this route. 
The chief drawback to it is the very strict game preserving in the whole of the 
district traversed. 2nd — Through Hamphall Stubbs, Skelbrook, Skellow, and 
Adwick-le-Street. This would traverse good country for Botanists, Entomologists, 
and Conchologists. All parties should meet at Adwick Station in time for the 4-12 
p.m. train to Doncaster. 
The geological party will leave Hampole station at 11-36 a.m., by a 
footpath to the north, for Hampole Stubbs, will then visit the Moorhouse quarries, 
and proceed to Watchley Crag, whence the return will be made by Lound Hill in 
time for the 4-6 p.m. train from Hampole. 
PERMISSION to visit their properties has been kindly granted by G. W. 
Fernandez, Esq., P. J. Neville, Esq., and C. Theobald, Esq. 
GEOLOGY. — The Geological Section will be officially represented. 
Mr. H. Culpin writes : — 
Hampole is pleasantly situated in a gap in the Permian Limestone escarpment 
traversed by the Hampole Dike. The West Riding Junction Railway, which also 
runs through this gap, provides, in one of its cuttings, a fine section in contorted 
limestone, near a fault. Owing to faulting, the Middle Permian Marls and the 
Upper Permian Limestone are in close proximity here to the Lower Permian Lime- 
stone overlooking the Coal Measures. Hampole thereby offers the rare opportunity, 
within the bounds of a short stroll, of collecting fossils from the highest and the 
lowest beds of the Permian Limestone series. At Hampole Stubbs, which is a 
collecting ground of some repute on the north side of the gap, the limestone may 
be seen resting unconformablly on the Coal Measures. At Moorhouse quarries on 
the south side of the stream, remarkably large and well preserved Schizodus are 
obtainable. The quicksand occasionally found below the limestone may be seen 
at The Ashes, and still better at Watchley Crag, a short distance south of Hooton 
Pagnell. Hooton Pagnell is charmingly placed on the well-wooded Permian 
escarpment, with wide views westwards over the Coal Measures. There are also 
fossiliferous quarries in the limestone. 
BOTANY. — The Botanical Section will be officially represented by Mr. H. 
H. Corbett.
