284 I-NDERGROUXD WATERS OF XORTH-WEST YORKSHIRE. 
About 30 yards below S 104, the stream has been partially 
diverted to P 76, but a portion flows down the natural channel 
to P 75. 
By turning the whole stream alternately down P 75 and 
P 76 it was possible to trace both lines of flow. 
First the stream was turned down the normal channel to 
P 75, and the fluorescein was seen at P 77 at 4.35 p.m., where 
it again sank, and was seen half an hour later in P 78. 
Secondl3^ the flow having been diverted into the artificial 
cliannel to P 76, the colour was seen in a trough at Brock Holes, 
the flow being parti}- by a natural channel parallel to the main 
joints in tlie limestone, and partly by a pipe to supply the trough. 
Fluorescein was next put into P 67 and was traced by 
S 95, P 68, S 96, P 69. and S 97, to P 70, where it finally sank. 
The fluorescein from all the above streams passed along 
the master joints and emerged at S 99, below the Station Hotel 
at Ribblehead, and subsequently at Batty Wife Hole, S 100. 
It then flowed overground to P 72, where it again sank, to 
come to light at S 101, near the bank of the Ribble below Gauber 
Farm, and so into the river. 
The spring at S 101 is similar in appearance to Turn Dub 
previously described, but is much smaller. 
In wet weather the excess of water from Batty Wife Hole 
flows over the surface, by wa}^ of Batty Wife Beck, into the 
Ribble, which it then joins some 300 yards further up-stream 
than the water Avhich goes underground. 
Sinks on Fell Close. [PI. XXX.] 
Tliere are three streams flowing over Fell Close, viz., Keld 
Bank Spring East, sinking at P 79, Fairweather Spring East ; 
sinking at P 80, and Fairweather Spring West at P81. 
These three streams were found to unite, and to issue at 
Eller Keld Spring, S 106, whence the water flows into the bed 
of Winterscale Beck, otherwise known as Haws Gill, where it 
again sinks to join the main drainage of Cliapel-le-Dale, which 
will be described later. 
Proceeding southwards, the next stream is Keld Bank 
Spring West, wliicli sinks on Scar Close Moss, at P 82.
