The Lecturer, in reply, stated that those who knew best dis- 
puted the theory of the Gulf Stream having any effect on our 
climate. This is a current and has nothing to do with the Wave. 
It is entirely due to heat. Hot and cold water will not mix, but 
will form a current. He attributed the difference of the tide in 
different parts of England to the fact that the Wave is an 
undulation, not a current. This is proved by the action of a 
cork thrown on the waters, which will remain stationary, rising 
and falling in the same place unless there is a tide. 
He also gave a fuller explanation of the effect of the Moon on 
the tides, and concluded with a reference to the action of the Wave 
on the glaciers; he did not dispute the glacial theory, but 
suggested that the Wave had played an important part in 
breaking up the glacier. 
A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Captain Greenwood 
on the motion of Mr. Jas. Lancaster seconded by Mr. Alderman 
Mitchell.
