Some Yorkshire Well Sections

Abstract

[Words in square brackets inserted by the writer.] Perhaps the following small collection of well-sections, which are believed to be unpublished, may serve as a nucleus for the gathering together of a greater quantity of like material. The writer will be glad to place any further notes at the disposal of the Society. Many Yorkshire well-sections have already been described in various Geological Survey Memoirs and elsewhere.
