THE GEOLOGIST. 
Speeton is a small village, a place of no great note in the business- 
world, yet of m\ich fame amongst the lovers of geology, inasmuch as 
in its neighbourhood there are several interesting formations, to one 
of which — the Speeton clay — it gives a name. 
In these days of rapid travelling, the village has the great con- 
venience of a railway-station, from whence the cliffs below can be 
reached without the slightest difficulty.

the Hull and Scarborough Railway, we have taken tickets for Speeton
