On the I~EL&TIOI~of C~R'rXlN BRECCIXS to the 1)~IYSlCAL GEO~RAP]t~ of ~HmR AOE. By Prof. THomAs GEo~as BosNia, D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. (Read February 5th, 1902.) I. INTRODUCTORY. :BREccI~s and conglomerates have always attracted me, and the former especially since I had opportunities, about ten years ago, of examining one of the most interesting examples in Europe. They afforded problems, to which I failed to find answers in all respects satisfactory ; so in the hope of obtaining further information I spent, during the summer of 1900, some days in the Western Thiiringer- wald, with my friend the Rev. Edwin Hill, in order to study the noted breccias of the Rothliegende, and last July again examined, and more fully than before, the beds of breccia, sections of which are well displayed along the high road in the Val des Ormonts above Le Sepey. In former years I had visited the Permian Breccias of the English Midlands and those now assigned to that period in Devon. All these exhibit certain features in common, some of which are also found in the so-cMled Dolomitic Conglo- merate in the South-west of England. So I purpose to give a brief summary of the principal characters of each of these deposits, .concluding with some comparatively modern breceias, in order that, if I cannot completely unravel their history, I may at least bring the more significant facts into a clearer focus) These I have never had an opportunity of examining, but gather the following facts from the careful descriptions which have appeared in print.

  • England 1- INTRODUCTION to GEOGRAPHY England Is One of The
    England 1- INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHY England is one of the four nations of the United Kingdom. It has an area of 130.000 km², that means 52% of the whole United Kingdom. The most important range of mountains and hills, the Pennines, is in the north. It is separated from Scotland by the Cheviot Hills (Carter Bar, Thirl Moor) and it stretches southwards to the Peak District. A National Trail (the Pennine Way) runs more than 400km through it (not with a bicycle) and goes through its highest point: Cross Fell (890m). Not too far from our BIG Great Dun Fell. Hartside Cross and Westernhope Moor are near. The highest point of England, Scafell Pike (978m in the Cumbrian Mts.), is situated in the Nord West, in the Lake District NP. Our classic Hard Knott, Wrynose and Honister Passes revolve around this summit. In the Pennines we have the National Parks and AONB (North Pennines AONB, Yorkshire Dales NP, Nidderdale AONB and Peak District NP). A detailed list of the selected climbs appears in the « Tourism » section. The Google map will help you to locate them easily. Excerpt from Google map in the Pennines East of the Pennines, there is also the North York Moors (NP), where Rosedale Head, Dalby Forest an others have been selected. East Yorkshire (north of the Humber Estuary, Kingston upon Hill), is the land of the « wolds », hills of low altitude, but often very steep. We've chosen four of them, to give a foretaste. The « Wold Land » stretches southwards, into Lincolnshire (Normanby le Wold in our list).

Oh yes, there was only one British convention each year at that time. It took me no time at all to realise that SF fans were my kind of people and I obtained my first fanzines at that convention at the old Imperial. I was hooked straight away and rushed into print. The first Las Spinge was awful, it still makes me cringe to think. of it, but after that it was impossible for Spinge to do anything except get better. There were probably fewer fanzines being published in those days than in the 90’s. but my memory insists that they were individual, lively.
