A nodular dolerite closely resembling boulders found in Western 

 Lancashire and Cheshire forms many boulders on the shore at Shalloch, 

 one mile south of Girvan. The boulders appear rather less numerous 

 at Girvan, and at West Kilbride only one has been found. 



Boulders of the Ailsa Craig Riebeckite-eurite are very abundant 

 ilong the coast from Girvan to Ballantrae, but I have not found it at 

 West Kilbride.

The suggestions of the Secretary, published in the last report of the Com - 

 mittee, that the faunas of (a) the beds which occur between the Millstomi 

 Grits and the Massif of Limestone in the South Pennine area, and (b) 

 the faunas which occur in the shales between the Millstone Grits and the 

 upper beds of Limestone in the North Pennine area should be examined, 

 was carried out by placing a collector in the Pendle district and one also at 

 Hawes. The Committee have been most fortunate in obtaining the skilled 

 services of Messrs. Rhodes and Tait, collectors on the Stalf of the Geo- 

 logical Survey, while on vacation, and Mr. Rhodes has collected, in the 

 beds between the Underset Limestone and the Millstone Grits around 

 Hawes, and Mr. Tait has collected in the beds between the Clitheroe and 

 Chipping, inliers of Massif Limestone and the Millstone Grits.
