made, as will be seen from the reports following-. References 

 are made elsewhere to the action the Union took in reference to 

 the Peregrines at Flamborough, and to the hideous advertise- 

 ments which have been erected on North Landing. Mr, C. G. 

 Danford also describes on another page some of the more 

 interesting discoveries made at Speeton. 



On Saturday evenings there was a well-attended meeting at 

 the Society's headquarters, the Station Hotel, under the presi- 

 dency of Prof. Kendall, at which reports were given of the work 

 accomplished up to that time. A lengthy discussion also took 

 place in reference to the Boulder Committee and its work, which 

 was opened by a paper by Mr. J. H. Howarth. The secretar\ 

 exhibited and described some new Ammonites, etc., found at 

 Speeton by Mr. C. G. Danford, as well as a large Saurian bone 

 from the same beds. 



On Monday a well-attended meeting was held in the open air 

 at Plamborough, at which the Rev. E. M. Cole presided. 

 Reports of work accomplished were given by the officers of the 

 sections, and several new members were elected. 



Geological Section. — Mr. J. W. Stather writes: — 



The Flamborough excursion from a geological point of view 

 must be written down a great success, for what can a geologist 

 want more than fine sections, fine weather, and congenial 

 companionship? 



Saturday morning was spent in examining the chalk quarries 

 in the neighbourhood of Bessingby and Carnaby. The Bess- 

 ingby quarry is in flintless chalk, and yielded Actinocamax 

 graniilatits, Scaphites binodosns, Cardiaster ananchytes, Rhyncli- 

 onella sp.. Ventriculites sp. , and sponges of several species. 

 The Carnaby quarry is unfortunately now very much over- 

 grown with vegetation, but a careful search resulted in the 

 following list : — Ananchytes ovatits (Echinocorys vulgaris), com- 

 mon, Hamiies sp., Riiynchonella sp. , Inoceranius lingua, Ammonite 

 sp., and many sponges. Mr. G. W. Lamplugh and the local 

 observers have long regarded these quarries as representing 

 hig-her zones in the chalk than even the cliffs at Sewerby. Dr. 

 A. W. Rowe, of Margate, who has recently visited these sections, 

 coincides in this opinion, and regards these pits as high up in 

 the zone of Acti)ioca»iax quadratus, although it may be as well 

 to note here, for the benefit of those unaquainted with the little 

 anomalies of modern zonal nomenclature, that this fossil has 

 not yet been foimd in Yorkshire.
