Abstract
At the Meeting of the British Association at York in 1881 I gave a summarized account of the Rhætic rocks of Nottinghamshire. In the present communication I propose to give a more detailed description of the same. Rhætic rocks were first noticed in this district about fifteen years ago near Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, by Mr. F. M. Burton, and were subsequently observed at Newark by the Rev. A. Irving and by Mr. Horace Woodward, and at Elton Station, on the Nottingham and Grantham line, by Mr. E. Etheridge. All these sections, however, were more or less incomplete, either above or below. During the last five or six years several new and some complete sections of the Rhætic beds have been exposed on the eastern and southern borders of Notts, chiefly by new railway-works. Unfortunately these sections are now all covered up and grass-grown. Seeing, however, that they disclosed several interesting facts and some new features concerning this series, a brief record of them appears desirable.
