the Upper Crag, but the unfavourable state of the day prevented it. 
After tea, the Rev. John Gunn, President of the Society, occupied 
the chair, and, in his address, reviewed the work of the past session. 
Tt was not until he had prepared his notes of what had been done at 
the meetings in the shape of written papers, &c., that he was aware 
of the amount of real work which had been accomplished. He then 
proceeded to notice the fossil remains which had been discovered, or 
examined. Among these were the fresh-water shells at Thorpe, the 
discovery of shells in the middle drift at Saxlingham, various bones 
of deer from the Forest-bed, the tooth of a Mastodon at Horstead, 
&c. He then proceeded to notice the strata in which these organic 
remains were found. The interesting discovery by the Secretary 
of the singular contortions in the Whitlingham chalk (an account 
of which appeared in the GErotocicaL Magazine for July last, 
page 824), was also mentioned. Mr. Gunn alluded, in feeling 
terms, to the loss of the late Dr. Woodward,* one of the members of 
the Society, and whose services were ever at the disposal of the 
members. Several papers were then read, the principal being one 
by Mr. Harmer, on the inland development of the drift beds near 
Cromer. The author followed the views of Mr. Searles Wood very 
closely, and ably defended them in the discussion which ensued. 
These views relate to the classification of the drift beds in the Kast- 
tern Counties. A very lively discussion ensued, during which Mr. 
Gunn gave a clear and succinct account of the manner in which the 
strata followed each other, and showed how they had been deposited. 
It was then proposed by Mr. Fitch, and seconded by Mr. King, that 
the Rev. John Gunn be re-elected President of the Society. This 
proposition was carried unanimously. The remaining officers of the 
Society were also re-elected, and the company then separated—

Dorcrrry. By J. W. Sauter, F.G.S. 
HE district examined includes roughly the course of the Mawd- 
dach River, as it flows from the twin waterfalls of Pistyll Cain, 
and the Mawddach Fall, and so down to the Barmouth estuary. 
This river runs chiefly through the softer lower division of the Lin- 
gula Flags, leaving a broad belt of the rocks north-west of Dolgelly; 
but almost obliterating and carrying them away along the lower 
reaches of the river. It is in this belt of rocks that the gold is won ; 
and to all appearance the veins of that metal are only prolific along
