 of the river itself had been thus elevated. Still he thought that in the present 

 day the great mass of transported material was carried on to the sea. 



The Rev. J. D. Latouche remarked in conclusion on the great quantity 

 of matter that streams carried down, and recommended additional observations 

 and experiments on the subject, as it might be possible in time by correlating 

 the floods and their sediment with the rainfall to estimate the rate of denudation 

 of the land. Mr. Lloyd's register was very useful, and it would be still more so 

 it it was supported by a careful register of the rainfall in the upper districts 

 of the river. 



In accordance with Mr. Latouche's suggestion, two properly certified rain 

 guages were ordered by the Club, that careful observations on the r.^infall may be 

 made in the upper districts of the River Wye.
