GroLocicaL ComMITTEE. 
The Committee have pleasure in reporting that eight committee 
meetings, seven sectional meetings, and six excursions have been held 
during the year, in addition to the Society’s geologica] excursions, 
April 25th and May 9th, taken in conjunction with the Geologists’ 
Association. 
The average attendance at the Committee meetings has been five, 
and at the sectional meetings ten, against five and twelve respectively 
the previous year. 
No photographs of Geological Sections have been added to the 
Society’s album since the last annual report, but the Committee hope 
that during the ensuing year members will interest themselves in 
obtaining photographs of all possible sections. 
Very few records of sections have been made this year, but this is 
partly accounted for by hardly any new sewers or railway cuttings 
having been made in the neighbourhood of Croydon; this should, 
however, not have affected photographic records having been obtained 
from other parts of Surrey. 
The excursions during the year were as follows :— 
January 10th.—To the Croydon Electricity Works, under the guid- 
ance of Mr. Faunthorpe, for the purpose of seeing an exposure of 
Woolwich and Reading beds in the new reservoir. The pit being full of 
water, the section was not visible, but the spoil-bank showed fragments 
of a shell-bed containing Cyrena, underlain by a yellow sand. The 
party were informed that the section was 6 to 8 ft. made soil, 7 to 9 ft. 
alluvium, 1 ft. 6in. shell-bed, 4 to 5 ft. yellow sand. 
April 18th.—Under the guidance of Messrs. Whitaker and Robarts, 
an excursion, to which members of the Geologists’ Association were 
invited, was made to the New Cross cutting of the London, Brighton, 
and South Coast Railway, by permission of the company’s engineer, 
Mr. Charles L. Morgan. About thirty members of the two societies 
were present, and were shown the junction of the basement beds of
