Ons of the most interesting advances made- by the Geological Society was the recognition in 1840 that in later geological times there had been a period of prolonged cold, when not only floating ice, but glaciers and extensive sheels of land-ice, left manifold traces of their action over portions of the British Isles, and of Northern Europe and America. The fact of the occurrence of lum Ituous deposits of boulder clay and gravel, in which were com "mingled fossils of all ages, was well-calculat- ed to deceive the earlier observers, who thús saw visible evidence of much torrential action

These arterisa walle, as they are called proved fruitful in yielding abundant supplies of good water. În some instances the water, post up beneath the London clay, rose above the sqr. facp; but with the steady growth of population and increased demands, the yield has been severely taxed.

It must be remembered that the deep-seated supply depends on the valinfall on the exposed chalk tracts in Buckinghamshiro, Hertfordshire, and Essex on the north, and on the north downs and the expariso of chalk about Epsom, Button, and Croydon on the south. It is, there fore, not surprislug that water may be drawn
