On Limestone-knolls in the Craven District of Yorkshire and elsewhere

Abstract

It is now many years since I began to pay attention to the frequent and often sudden expansion of masses of limestone associated with other deposits, and in the year 1888 I had the good fortune to examine some of the remarkable limestone-masses of the Craven district under the personal guidance of Mr. R. H. Tiddeman, to whom we owe our knowledge of the structure of these masses. Mr. Tiddeman has described and offered an explanation of these structures in a series of papers, which, though brief, are remarkable for their pithiness and lucidity, and reference to them will at once enable anyone to understand the structure of the irregular limestone-masses and the associated phenomena.
