, The Eev. T. R. R. Stebbing heaitily supported the proposal that Kent's 

 Cavern rhould be included among our national treasures, as a fitting memorial 

 ibf Mi-. Pengelly's great services to science in its exploration. So undeviating 

 i^as his a^sidi;iity in the work that on one occasion, "when he was kept at home 

 by illiieSs, although the age of miraclee is past, his boots (they say) started 

 cavewards without him. In familiar intercourse with him, wMch Mr. Stebbing 

 enjoyed for several years, he could not say that Pengelly himself ever vouched 

 for the fact. He was in truth a sturdy upholder of scientific morality and 

 scientific accuracy. He could not agre« with those who claimed, as their own, 

 ideas which they had coneciously borrowed from others or who would not 

 acknowledge frankly their own mistakes. In his essay, ' Is it a fact ? ' he issued 

 a challenge to irrational absurdities in general. 



Other speakers, including Mr. Whitakeb and Sir Edward Brabrook, ex- 

 preseed their appreciation of the paper and the need for securing Kent's Oavern. 

 The Secretary was instructed to see what possibilities existed of acquiring the 

 site. 



In conclusion, it was resolved, on the proposition of Mr. Whitaker, seconded 

 by Mr. Mark Sykes, that the Council of the Association be requested to take 

 steps for the preservation of Kent's Cavern. 



The following Delegates attended the Conference and signed the attendance book, 

 their attendance being indicated by the figures 1, 2, which refer respectively to the 

 first and second meeting.
