Summer Meetings. — The following Meetings have been held 

 during the summer months ; Upleatham, Crathorne and Hutton 

 Rudby, Loftus to Grinkle, Swainby to Snotterdale, Danby to 

 Castleton, and Stokesley to Wainstones. Two meetings on fhe 

 fixture list were abandoned ; the one from Ayton to Hutton on 

 account of inclement weather, and the other owing to it being in 

 " Stockton Race Week," when a good many of our members 

 are usually away. 



The districts visited were all interesting, some of them opening- 

 out quite new ground. A good attendance took place at all the 

 meetings except Crathorne, which was interfered with by the 

 weather. The Club was indebted to Mr. John Garbutt, of Loftus, 

 the Rev. J. Cowley Fowler, Mr. J.W. R. Punch and Mr. Cozens, for 

 acting as guides and giving information as to routes, etc., at the 

 meetings at Grinkle, Swainby, Danby and Wainstones, their 

 personal attendance and guidance adding very much to the interest 

 of these meetings. The Rev. J. Cowley Fowler, our President, and 

 Mr. and Mrs. J. W. R. Punch kindly entertained our members to 

 tea at the Swainby and Danby meetings. 



The Club was also indebted very much to local landowners, for 

 permission to visit their estates on the occasion of our meetings, 

 viz. : — The Earl of Zetland (on two occasions), Sir Chas. Mark 

 Palmer, M.P., J. Lionel Dugdale, Esq. (who also kindly sent 

 someone to meet the party, and explain to them the various 

 objects of interest in Crathorne Church), and J. J. Emerson, 

 Esq.

 have been given at Winter Meetings by the Rev. J. Cowley 

 Fowler, B.A., F.G.S., on " Brittany," in April; by Rev. W. Lower 

 Carter, M.A., F.G.S., on "Early Man in Britain," Y.N.U. 

 Lecture; by Rev. F. Grant James, on "Ancient Worthies of 

 Marske" ; and J. W. R. Punch on the " Spectroscope," illustrated 

 by experiments; Thomas Sheppard, F.G.S., on a "Geological 

 Ramble along the Yorkshire Coast," Y.N.U. Lecture; Two 

 Microscope and Exhibition Meetings, and an evening visit to the 

 Dorman Museum, completed the year's Winter Meetings. 



Mr. Simpson kindly obtained the microscopes from members 

 and friends, and arranged them for these meetings, with the 

 assistance of Mr. Punch and other of our members. At the 

 second of our Microscope Meetings, the members had the pleasure
