Excerpt from North Yorkshire: Studies of Its Botany, Geology, Climate, and Physical Geography Dysgeogenous and Eugeogmous Strata. - As may be gathered from what has been stated in the chapter devoted to Geology, the rocks of the different periods in North Yorkshire are, for each as a whole, characterised by well marked lithological peculiarities and from this circumstance arises the fact that the tracts which they respectively underlie are found to possess tangibly marked physico-geographical peculiarities. To the question of the differences in mechanical constitution which the various strata present and the results which may be traced as springing from such differences as their primary cause it will therefore be needful to devote a few pages before proceeding further.
