My aim in this paper is to offer some notes whicli may be helpful 
to the field geologist on and around Ingleborough, and with that 
view I will conclude this part of it with a few practical hints. 
These are the most easterly exposures of the upper portion of the 
Bala Beds to be found in this district. It is a variable series, and 
some knowledge and experience would be required in order to establish 
the true sequence in each area and correlate the several zones exposed 
in the different sections. But if anyone wants a very interesting 
and useful, though difficult, piece of work to do let him make 
out the details of the above three areas, stratigraphically and 
palaeontologically, zone by zone. It will take a long time to do it 
properly, but it is not one of those heart-breaking districts where no 
definite results follow long and careful work. There are plenty of 
exposures and plenty of determinable fossils, and it only requires 
careful observation of the succession and discrimination of exact 
horizons where fossils have been found. In such cases all the speci- 
mens should be fully labelled in the field. 
I gave many years ago in the Proceedings of this Society^ and 
in the Geological Magazine,t a tentative classification, which I think 
still holds good as far as it goes, but I never visit the district without 
learning something new about it. 
Xow as to the best centres to work from. The village of Horton- 
in-Ribblesdale is close to the two first-named areas, or, if a more 
luxurious base of operations is preferred, the train from Settle will 
set the traveller down and pick him up at Horton Station. 
For the third area Austwick or, but little further off, Clapham 
are most convenient. 
If the home-life and folk-lore of the people interest our geologist, 
let him try to get taken in at one of the farmhouses that lie nestled in 
the snuggest corners of this margin of the Fells, and I feel sure that, 
if he is a man of the right sort himself, he will carry away with him 
a pleasant picture of the best side of old English country life.
