TUTE: SEQUENCE OF PERMIAN ROCKS. 
laid by the horizontal beds of the Upper Magnesian Limestone. As 
far as I have been able to discover, the whole series has only been 
slightly dislocated. At Nordhouse, there are two parallel faults 
running N. and S., throwing down the strata about a yard. At 
Monkton Mains Quarry there is another small east and west fault, 
and a third at Quarry Moor. The strata are occasionally bent, as at 
Quarry Moor and Wormald Green. There is a fault, however, 
running east and west from Fountains Abbey, and passing a little 
to the south of the “ Surprise,” which seems to have thrown down the 
Magnesian Limestone considerably to the north. At Wormald 
Green, when the drift is removed, the surface of the limestone 
exhibits evident marks of denudation, — it is sometimes worn into 
“ pot-holes,” sometimes into rounded and smoothed bosses. But I 
have not seen anywhere traces of glacial striations, except in a few 
Magnesian limestone boulders picked out of the drift. 
SOME INDICATIONS OF A RAISED BEACH AT REDCAR. BY 
REV. J. S. TUTE, B.A. 
At Warrenby, a new village near Coatham, there is a bed of sandy 
clay, containing many shells of Rissoa ulva, with broken mussel and 
cockle shells, &c., and the vertebrae of fishes. Sections were obtain- 
ed when the foundations were made for the houses, showing a 
horizontal structure. Here the surface of the land is about 14 feet 
above high water mark. It would appear that these shell beds were 
the estuary deposits of the Tees, and that the coast has been raised 
probably 20 or 25 feet since they were deposited. On the east side 
of Redcar the Boulder-clay is about 6 feet above the high water 
mark, and only rises at a very small angle to the east. The upper 
portion is black, sandy, and peaty, passing insensibly into the 
browner clay below. This again seems to indicate the former 
existence of a lower level. These indications of a raised beach are, 
however, not absolutely conclusive evidence, but I think it is worth 
while to draw' the attention of Geologists to them.
