404 EEPORT — 1895. 



between the Great Oolite and the Forest Marble ; and though tliere is no 

 trace of unconformity (the beds being all practically horizontal), the 

 sudden change in lithological character points to a marked change of 

 physical circumstances, in which the sui-face, if not actually becoming dry 

 land, must have become nearly so, to be followed again by the shales and 

 the marine beds of the Forest Marble. 



This change may perhaps account for so many bones of one individual 

 animal being found together and compai'atively so little worn by any 

 movement whatever. 



Some 400 yards to the east, and about the centre of the promontory, 

 large quarries are open, which pass through 25 feet of the Cornbrash and 

 Forest Marble, apparently reaching the shales which rest on the sandy 

 parting referred to, as shown in the other sections. Though there is no 

 reason to anticipate that any of the bones of this particular animal may 

 have been drifted in this direction, it is thought advisable to make an 

 excavation or so at the place with the view of ascertaining exactly how 

 far the particular sandy parting is extended. 



In the uncertainty as to which was the best spot where to set the 

 excavations going, the Chairman felt he was not justified in drawing any 

 money on account of the grant of 20^. ; but now that permission has been 

 granted and several observations and measurements made and inquiries 

 set on foot, the Committee would request that the grant may be renewed, 

 so that the inquiries and observations may be continued, and that at the 

 first favourable opportunity some trial holes may be made, partly with a 

 view of being satisfied that no further remains of that animal exist near 

 the spot where the others were found, partly also of determining some- 

 what further than has been done the circumstances under which those 

 remains were deposited in that spot, and the relation of the bed in which 

 they occur to the Great Oolite below and the Forest Marble above.

I. — Schedule of the Collection of Photographs 411 



II. — List of Photographs illustrating Geological Papers .... 413 



Your Committee have the honour to report that during the past year 161 

 photographs have been received, thus bringing up the number registered 

 since the commencement of their operations to a total of 1,216. Par- 

 ticulars of the new additions are, as heretofore, given in this Report. 

 By far the greater number of these are the work of Mr. Godfrey 

 Bingley, of Leeds, to whom the Committee are indebted for much valuable 

 assistance. They desire to record their thanks to the following donors of 

 photographs and others who have rendered aid in various ways : Professor
