obtained in the work and the " Table showing the Rock-Formations 

 of the district " by Mr. H. M. Ami* in their natural order has been 

 thoroughly confirmed by the drilling's obtained at the works. Many 

 of these were examined by Mr. Ami and their evidence was quite 

 conclusive. 



Special examinations were made of the Post-Tei'tiary formations 

 at Poupore's Quarry, Hull, and a valuable series of photographs taken 

 by Messrs. H. N. Topley, Mr. McConnell and Mr. Low, in company 

 with Mr. Ami. These illustrate very well the mode of occurrence and 

 distribution of these deposits at the locality in question. 



Whilst the excursions afford information to a larger number of 

 members of the Club — it is manifest that only when work is of a more 

 individual, close and systematic nature does it result in being of a more 

 useful kind. Small working parties are found to be of incalculable 

 value in obtaining reliable information and carrying on original work 

 in any district. 



In conclusion, your leaders hope that the interest manifest in 



Geological work by the members of our Club may continue, and the 



whole is respectfully submitted. H. M. Ajii, 



A, P. Low, 



Leaders.
