NOTE. Following Mr. C. Reid's surmise in the Holderness Memoir, we have become accustomed to regard Denmark as the source of the pink flints, common in the boulder-clays of Holderness. This is an error, as Dr. A. Jessen, of the Danish Geological Survey, recently informed the Secretary (Mr. Stather) that pink flints do not occur either in the Cretaceous Rocks or the Drifts of Denmark, and are quite unknown there.
JNO. W. STATHER, Hon. Secretary.
