THE MIDDLE LIAS OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. 
BY BEEBY THOMPSON, F.G.S., F.C.S. 
( Continued from page 179.) 
The following proofs of the free circulation of water, 
and, consequently, the continuity and capacity to receive 
and store water, refer particularly to the Rock-bed:— 
1.—All the water which is found in the Middle Lias, 
whether at Northampton or elsewhere, must have got in 
from the surface somewhere, and since the water in the 
Billing Road Well at one time rose 90 feet above the water¬ 
bearing rock, it is clear that the catchment area must have 
been more than that height above the rock which supplied the 
water, and so some considerable distance away.
