transported this rock-mass from the valley of Chamouni to its present resting 

 place, for in its voyage from the Glacier of the Arve, the block must have 

 crossed the lake of Geneva, the valley of Switzerland, and the lake of Neuchatel 

 (applause). 



The photograph handed round by Doctor Wright, taken from the natural 

 block with some figures beside it to show their comparative size to the mass, 

 was largely inspected by the group. 



After such an example the Doctor adduced, it is easy to understand 

 how this block of Pennant Sandstone was removed from its original bed 

 to the limestone of the Yat, for as the whole valley of the Wye affords evidence 

 of glacial action. Doubtless this great natural force was the agency by which 

 it was transported hither. This Pennant rock whero it now stands is entirely 

 out of its natural position, and therefore was lifted into its resting place by 

 glacial action (applause). 



The whistle announced that the hour for departure had arrived and 

 the party descended to the river, examining the fine section of the Old Red 

 Conglomerate which they passed in the winding path to the ferry boat.
