The alteration in the strike of the Carboniferous rocks is, he suggested, comparable with that accompanying the Don faults. It may here be added that at the southern end of the Derbyshire Coalfield a parallel instance of the deflection of an east-and-west fold has been previously cited (p. 38).

With regard to the Wharfe anticline he remarks (op. cit., p. 28) that" if the assumed axis of the fold and the actual boundary of the Coal Measures be projected forward, they strike the Chalk Wolds on the crown of one of the most remarkable anticlines in the whole country... the first fact which will arrest attention when the strata at the fold of the Wolds escarpment are examined is the enormous hiatus in the Secondary Series, the chalk resting directly on the Lower Lias, so that the whole of the Neocomian Series, the Oolites, and the Tipper, Middle and a portion of the Lower Lias are missing." After a critical discussion of the evidence Professor Kendall concludes (p. 30) "The facts and arguments which I have stated seem to me to point conchisively to the occurrence of an anticline of pre-Permian date extending across the Vale of York and forming the northern boundary of the coalfield." He therefore considers that the northern limit of the coalfield lies about four miles north of the recent boring at Selby.
