DE RANCE : UNDERGROUND WATERS IN LINCOLNSHIRE. 
This section gives, in abstract, drifts probably 51 feet, and 449 
feet of red sandstone, red sand, and coarse red sand, with 11 feet of 
intercalated marls, the whole of which may be. regarded as one series, 
and compare well with the Goole section, and may be referred to the 
Keuper Sandstones, and might for their important thickness be 
called the Goole Beds. 
It may be well to reproduce the section of the Selby Water- 
works, obtained from Mr. Wetherill by Professor Green, F.R.S. 
Surface level 20^ feet above Ordnance datum ; the water out of 
a 6-inch bore-hole rises to 16 feet from Ordnance datum.

Here there was 75 feet of drift, all the remainder being more 
or less hard red sandstone, without the intercalated marl beds 
observable in the Goole section, which are presumably above those 
penetrated at Selby, which may be referred to the Pebble Beds. 
Boring at Donington, on west side of River Bain. Communicated 
by Mr. Edward Bogg, the Geol. Soc, London, "Trans. Geol. Soc."
