Sep. 1772, G. W. sent an express from London to 
Manchester, and paid £3 5 6 
This express was delivered in Glasgow in about 66 hours. 
The express to London went in 36 hours. 
On the motion of Mr. Spence, seconded by Mr. Brock- 
bank, it was resolved unanimously — That the thanks of 
the Society be given to Mr. Green for his interesting and 
valuable donation.

followed by “Additional Notes on the Drift Deposits in 
Burnley and the Neighbourhood,” which occupies pages 65 
to 73 of the fifth volume of those Transactions. Several

classed as high level drifts. I have since found flints on the 
top of Entwistle Moor, at least 1,100 feet above the sea, and
