Abstract

It is suggested (1) that the term “Estuarine Series”, as applied to the Middle Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire, should be abandoned and that “Deltaic Series” should be substituted; (2) that the boundary between the lower and middle divisions of this series should be revised and that the persistent Eller Beck Bed should be substituted for that boundary in place of the wedging Millepore Series of the Scarborough district and its inland equivalent, the Whitwell Oolite.
