238 REPORT—1904. 
for the first time in the reports of the Committee ; and the very interesting 
identifications of the source of certain beach-pebbles found near Cromer in 
the course of an excursion during the meeting at Cambridge. On this 
occasion Professor Sjogren and Professor Biackstrém, of Stockholm, identi- 
fied a number of Scandinavian rocks, most of which were well known to 
glacial workers in Yorkshire, though their place of origin was unknown. 
These rocks include a cancrinite-syenite from Sarna in Dalecarlia, Sweden ; 
quartz porphyry, also from Dalecarlia ; a fine-grained granitic rock which 
is a common and widespread type in Sweden ; sparagmite conglomerate 
from Scania; sparagmite sandstone and a series of hornblende-porphyrites 
from the Christiania district. 
Two pebbles were found, which the present writer identified as 
trachytes from the south-east of Scotland, a determination which was con- 
firmed by Dr. J. Horne, F.R.S. 
The discovery of a fragment of pecten in a gravel-pit at Thirsk, by 
Mr. J. E. Hall, of that town, is an interesting fact, as no shell-fragments 
had. previously been recorded so far down the vale of York.
