Dr. Harris announced the decease of William Ravvle, Esq., 

 a member of the Society, who died on the 9th of the present 

 month, in the 71st year of his age. 



Mr. Lesley laid before the meeting some specimens of slate 

 from the second coal bed of Broad Top, containing Lepido- 

 strobus, which he considers important as establishing the iden- 

 tity of this coal bed at different points of its many outcrops in 

 widely distant parts of the United States. In connection with 

 this he also exhibited specimens of top-slate, polished to a per- 

 fect mirror surface by the disturbance of the coal bearing strata. 



On motion of Mr. Letchworth, an appropriation of forty 

 dollars was made to pay expenses incurred by the Librarian.
