EXCURSIONS. 
231 
At Sawley Quarry and Foxley Bank (see PL XX.) 
magnificent examples of folding in the limestone beds were 
examined. 
A drive of about two miles along the strike of the beds and 
the " reef knoll " country was reached. 
Here the party dismounted in order to visit the many 
quarries, including the celebrated dissected reef knoll at Pimlico 
Quarries. 
The limestone knolls at DowTiham, Chatburn, and Worston 
were exammed, a visit also being paid to the Salt Hill and Lane 
Head Quarries. As these exposures are fully described in 
'Mr. Wilmore's paper in the present volume, no further account 
of them need here be given. 
A magnificent \'iew of the knoll country was obtained 
from the summit of one of these rounded hills. In front lay 
the town of Clitheroe, with its pictuiesque church and castle. 
To the right were the limestone knolls^ forming rolling grass- 
covered hills, with here and there patches cf White Limestone 
showing through, while to the left could be seen the long ridge 
of Pendle Hill, with its bare bro^Ti flanks, gradually passing 
into the green cultivated lands below. 
The homeward journey from Worston was by way of Worston 
Ivnoll to Chatburn, where the party rejoined the conveyance 
and drove through Rimington to Colne. 
The weather had again been tavourable and a most enjoy- 
able day was spent. 
In the evening there was a general discussion of the work 
done on Friday and Saturday, and several broader questions 
affecting Carboniferous Geology were also considered. 
After dinner on Sunday, as several of the members were 
leaving the party on Monday, Dr. Wheelton Hind proposed a vote 
of thanks to Mr. W^ilmore for the able manner in which he had 
arranged and conducted the excursions, remarking upon the 
very thorough and intimate knowledge of the country he had 
displayed. 
Mr. Wilmore was presented with a copy of the menu signed 
by those present, and replied in a humorous speech.
