Manchester Aug. isth. 



Eaton (with the British Association) Sept. 8th. 



The first excursion was twice deferred owing to wet weather. 

 The excursion to the Vymwy Valley was on a splendid day. 

 Fine weather and a good party. Our President and Mr. Ruddy 

 acted as leaders, and we had the privilege of seeing one of the 

 wildest parts of N. Wales. The aspect of the country will in a 

 short time be entirely changed, as a large artificial lake is in 

 process of construction with a view to the water supply of 

 Liverpool. We spent another interesting day at Storeton, when 

 Mr. Osmund W. Jeffs conducted the party, and pointed out 

 the peculiarities of the Bunter and Keuper formations. The 

 Photographic Section had a special visit to Llangollen. On the 

 whole the excursions were not well attended, but this may be 

 accounted for by the many attractions of the Manchester 

 Exhibition and other incidental interests connected with the 

 Jubilee Year of Her Majesty's reign. A few Evening Rambles 

 were arranged, and an effort was made to combine with them 

 Field Classes. These, however, were only partially successful.
