gravel beds was seen. Thence to the York Racecourse, near

were examined.

Train to Market Weighton and on to Middleton-on-the- 
Wolds. The party visited Middleton Whiting Works, inspected 
the deep chalk pit. and observed a glacial overflow near at hand. 
The party then walked through Middleton and followed a 
long, winding overflow valley, which formed an aligned sequence 
of channels, draining the ice-front and discharging at Kipling 
Cotes into a large valley, which cuts through the watershed to 
Market Weighton. An extensive excavation showed the old 
vallej^ side, against which the chalk gravels were banked up. 
and a side valley filled with gravel. Xear Market Weighton 
the Red Chalk was seen on the roadside, and the Lower Lias 
in an adjoining brick pit. 
(iii.) A small party started from Market Weighton, and 
visited the shooting range at Goodmanham. The section here 
shows Red Chalk overlaid by Grey Chalk with pink bands, and 
in the pit below. Lower Lias. 
The large gravel pit was revisited and the sections ex- 
amined. Brown bands were noted and examined, which proved 
to be full of minute calcareous tubes, secreted by fine rootlets, 
some of which were found still filling the tubules. 
A traverse of the Wolds was then made to Xorth Xewbald, 
evidences of drift deposits being found on the way, and the 
terraces of the Newbald valley were noted.
