Excerpt from Proceedings of the Geological and Polytechnic Society of the West Riding of Yorkshire, 1871-1877, Vol. 6 IN a previous communication to this Society I endeavoured to describe the remarkable anticlinals of Skipton and Draughton, which are perhaps the most striking features of the geology of South Craven. The geological relations of these disturbed tracts were discussed on that occasion, and I do not propose to refer to them now. But the most interest in g problem connected with these contorted rocks is the circumstance that they are bent so sharply without fracture. On this subject I formerly offered a few remarks, and cited some incomplete experiments. During the last three years these experiments have been continued, and the most finportant results are here presented.
