Abstract
SOME years ago, Dr. G. M. Lees asked me to examine some 4-in. cores of Permian rock salt from the Eskdale bore hole, N. Yorkshire, of which the stratigraphy has been described1. The specimens were mainly from the Middle Saline Group, 3,900–4,200 ft. The cores had been kept in sealed glass jars and were in good condition for examination. The salt of this zone is mainly stained red or pink by disseminated fine hæmatite, and these iron-rich salts contain the bodies here mentioned, of which a fuller account will be published elsewhere.
