RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING MAPS. 



At the Second Winter Meeting of the Session 1900- 

 1901, held at the School of Science, Gloucester, on 

 Friday, Dec.. 7th, 1900, the following resolutions, proposed 

 by C. Callaway, M.A., D.Sc, F.G.S., and seconded by 

 Mr Chas. Upton, were unanimously carried : — 



I. That this Club, having been informed that the work 

 of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom is under 

 official review, desires to express the opinion that the 

 following maps are required for the district. Their 

 general adoption would be of great advantage to geological 

 .science, and to the material welfare of the nation. 



1. One-inch map of the solid geology, the information 



to be put on the new ordnance maps which have 

 contours, the contours to be very plainly lined 

 in ; the geological maps at present obtainable for 

 this district being without contours and very 

 inaccurate as to roads. The results of deep 

 borings might also be inserted [by colour circles.] 



2. A similar map on the six-inch scale, on which 



should be indicated the nature and composition 

 of the subsoil. It is also suggested that the 

 details of important coast or other vertical sec- 

 tions should be inserted in the margins of the 

 sheets. 



3. One-inch and six-inch colour-printed Drift maps. 



These would aid in the solution of important 

 theoretical questions at present unsolved. They 

 would also be of great economic value, as bear- 

 ing upon water-supply, drainage, house- sites, 

 general sanitation, and economic questions of 

 agriculture.
