Of the first series the most important is the Ddolhir Fault, which 

 dips at an angle of 20°, nearly with the bedding, and may be either 

 a thrust-plane or a lag-fault. Of the second series, the most 

 remarkable is the Caemor Fault, on the east side of which the rocks 

 have been raised nearly a mile, and shifted horizontally to the 

 south for nearly three miles. Most of the remaining faults have a 

 simple downthrow on the east. 



111.— June ^rd, 1908.— Professor W. J. Sollas, LL.D., Sc.D., F.R.S., 

 President, in the Chair. 



The President announced that the Council had passed the 

 following resolutions : — 



" The Council of the Geological Society desires to express the profound 

 regret with which it has heard of the death of Sir John Evans, K.C.B., 

 F.E.S. Sir .John Evans served the Society for many years in the 

 Council, occupied the Presidential Chair from 1874 to 1876, being the 

 Senior President living, and subsequently discharged the duties of 

 Foreign Secretary for twelve years. Geological Science has gaiaed 

 much from the researches of Sir John Evans, and the place which he 

 has occupied in the Society and the Council will be hard to till." 



" The Council also desires to express its regret at the loss of Professor 

 Albert de Lapparent, who had been a P^oreign Correspondent and 

 Member of the Society since 1887, and who, as recently as last year, 

 attended the celebration of the Society's Centenary and contributed no 

 little to the proceedings on that occasion.''

 more Fellows " of the Society (Byelaws, Sect, xi, Art. 4), a Special General 

 Meeting would be held at the Society's Apartments on Wednesday, June 17th, 1908, 

 at 7.45 p.m., in order to consider the following resolution, which would be proposed 

 by Dr. J. Malcolm Maclaren and seconded by Mr. A. Gibb Maitland : — 



" That Fellows non-resident in the United Kingdom be invited to express an 

 opinion concerning the admission of women to Fellowship or Associateship of 

 the Geological Society of London."
