The confirmation of the presence of potassium salts in the Permian evaporites beneath the Whitby district, first found in the D'Arey Exploration Co.'s Eskdale no. 2 (Aislaby) boring (G. M. Lees and A. H. Taitt, 1945), and the discovery by Imperial Chemical Industries in their Eskdale no. 3 (Sleights), no. 4 (Sneaton), and no. 6 (Upgang) borings that these salts exist in workable quality and quantity, has been recorded in a recent historic paper by Dr. A. Fleck (1950). The successful outcome of this boring campaign may well lead to the outstanding development of the present century in economic mineralogy in Britain.
