the village and over the moors to Stoney lluck, and from thence 

 by way of Eve Crag Slack to Danby Station." 



The day being fine a very profitable afternoon was spent, 

 especially so by those interested in Geology, who had the varions 

 features of geological interest pointed out to them en roufe by Mr. 

 Hawell. The entomologists of the party did a little work and 

 turned up one or two very interesting species, the most notable 

 being A. sfru/illan'a (a si)ecies taken for the first time in Cleveland 

 to my knowledge), F. heJijiaria and Aridalia fuinafa. 



Owing to the tide not being favourable, the next excursion, 

 which was intended partly as a coast exciu'sion, Loftus being the 

 rendezvous, was postponed from Saturday, July 19th, to the 26th. 

 The postponement was (as often is the case) unfortunate, as the 

 weather conditions were anything but pleasant. However, in 

 spite of the weather, 5 members attended, but although Dr. Veitch 

 kindly attended, he having consented to act as guide to the 

 geologists, the coast part of the excursion was not persisted in. 



Four of the members on arrival at Loftus walked direct to 

 Kilton Castle, but the weather getting worse instead of better, 

 two of tlie party left and caught an early train liack. The two 

 who remained did a little entomological work under very disagreeable 

 circumstances and with very little success. 



The other member (a local gentleman) went direct to Liverton 

 Church, and he reported that the Church was in course of 

 restoration He found that the ]S^orman arch had been bottomed 

 and the floor loAvered, and that a fine sculptured stone memorial 

 slab in excellent preservation had been found. 



The lad excursion of the Summer season down on the card 

 to be held at Boosbeck was altered, and instead was held at Loftus 

 on August 30th, when a portion of the programme for the last 

 excursion Avas carried out, it being considered that as the restoration 

 work was being carried out at Liverton Church, it was a very 

 opportune time to inspect it and also to see a fine sculptured 

 memorial slab which had been unearthed during the carrying out 

 of the work. 



Fourteen members attended the meeting, tirelce of Avhom had 

 a very enjoyable time under the able guidance of a local member, 

 Mr. Garbutt. Unfortunately, owing to the members getting out at 

 Carlin How Station instead of Loftus, as intended by the circular, 

 two of our members missed the party altogether.
