DAKYNS : GLACIAL PHENOMENA OF WHARFEDALE.

The yellow clay is doubtless merely the weathered part of the blue. 
As both grit and limestone occur in place in large masses in 
this district, it is of no importance finding boulders of one rock lying 
on the other ; but I may mention that the limestone ridge above 
Fancarl House, though free from drift and generally bare, is strewn 
with boulders and blocks ot coarse Millstone Grit. I found too a 
block of limestone on the Kinder Scout Grit Escarpment at the 
southern end of Crooksior Crags on Embsay Moor, more than 1,200 
feet above sea level. The curious round hills forming the Millstone 
Grit Escarpment south of Barden, between the River Wharfe and the 
Pateley Bridge road, have limestone boulders on them. 
At Gill Bank, near Storriths, beds of flaggy grit, dipping at 60° 
to the S.E., presented the appearance, shown in the figures, as if the 
beds had been turned over southwards and broken. Ice moving from 
the north might have done this. 
This is similar to what has so often been observed by Messrs. 
Tiddeman and Green in the country described in the Geological 
Survey Memoir " On the Burnley Coalfield." 
The only other case of bending over of the ends of the beds that 
I am acquainted with in this locality, presents some difficulty. It 
occurs on the northern slope of hills forming the south part of 
Barden Moor. In a quarry near Hutchen Gill Gate the beds, which 
consist of flagstone, are dipping down hill, i.e., to the north at 25°. 
The top layers are turned over as if by a force acting down hill, i.e. 
from south to north. The slope of the ground does not seem suffi- 
ciently great for this bending over to be due to the " weight of the 
hill," as it is called. On the other hand, it is quite certain that the
