Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 6: Humber to Malta, p. 409

Kelsey Beds, a subdivision of the Pleistocene accumulations, consisting chiefly of gravel, charged with marine shells and remains of mammoth, rhinoceros, &c., which occurs at Kelsey Hill near Hedon, and other places in the neighbourhood of Hull. The gravel rests upon and is covered by boulder-clay, and was probably deposited in the sea, near the mouth of a river.
