maps on which they were marked in accordance with the recognised 

 code of signals adopted by the International Congress on Archaeology 

 a few years ago. 



Mr. John Evans, F.R.S., said the Society of Antiquaries had 

 undertaken an archaeological survey of the country, and they 

 intended to publish maps showing all the pre-historic monuments 

 and remains. 



Geological Photographs. — Your delegate, speaking on behalf 

 of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union, referred to the Boulder Com- 

 mittee, which had this year submitted some fifty reports to the 

 British Association ; to the Yorkshire Fossil Flora Committee, which 

 worked on the same lines as the British Association Committee ; to 

 the lately-formed Sea-Coast Erosion Committee, and to the Marine- 

 Zoology Committee ; and then proposed the formation of a 

 Committee to arrange for a collection of photographs illustrating 

 the geological features of each county of the United Kingdom. 

 This gave rise to a long discussion, in which Mr. John Evans, 

 Mr. Adamson, Rev. H. H. Winwood, The Dempster Gill, Mr. W. 

 Grey, and Mr. Jeffs, the originator of this movement, took part. As 

 the Chairman held that such a resolution could not be brought 

 before that meeting, it was informally agreed to bring the matter 

 before the Committee of the Geological Section. 



Geological Record. — Mr. W. Topley appealed to the delegates 

 to bring the publication of the Geological Records before their 

 respective Societies, and urge them to give it greater pecuniary 

 support. 



Earth Tremors. — Professor Lebour spoke of the work of the 

 Earth Tremors Committee, and said that the spot selected for the 

 instruments was too near the sea, and not suitable for the experiments. 

 They were having a new set of instruments made, and placed in 

 another position. They were just ready for observation, but no 

 observation had yet been made. In reply to questions he said that 

 two instruments would be placed underground and two on the 

 surface, so that for the first time the observations would be taken 

 simultaneously. The readings were automatic, and taken con- 

 tinuously. This concluded the business. 



On Monday, the 16th, twenty-five of the delegates and their 

 friends dined at the County Hotel, Mr. W. Topley occupying the 

 chair. 



The second Conference took place on Tuesday, the 17th, under 

 the presidency of Mr. W. Topley. After the minutes of the 

 preceding meeting had been read by Prof. Lebour, the following 

 subjects were brought before the Conference : —
