Extract

Cuttings from their Eskdale no. 2 boring, Aislaby, near Whitby, at a depth of 4095–4100 feet from the surface were presented to the Geological Museum by the D'Arcy Exploration Co. Limited, in response to a request for a specimen from the Permian Saliferous Series which might contain polyhalite, a mineral already recorded by Professor C. E. Tilley from this boring (Min. Mag., 1943, vol. 26, p. lvii). The cuttings were examined by Dr. J. Phemister who found no polyhalite in them, but a small quantity of a mineral which he thought was probably boracite. In response to a request for additional material the company very kindly supplied further cuttings from depths in the bore between 4090 and 4160 feet.
