The visit of the Geologists' Association of London to this 

 city, in August last, should not be passed over in silence. 

 Upwards of fifty of its members under the guidance of its 

 President, Mr. F. W. Rudler, F.Gr.S., and accompanied by several 

 ladies, were received in the rooms of this Institution, on Monday, 

 the 8th August, at 9.30 a.m., by Mr. Whitley, Mr. Howard Fox, 

 Mr. Hamilton James, Major Parkyn, Hon. Sec, and some others, 

 and were conducted over the Museum. In the evening the 

 council entertained the Members of the Association at a con- 

 versazione which was presided over by the President, Eevd. W. 

 lago. A very pleasant evening was spent and short addresses 

 were given by Eevd. W. lago, Mr. H. M. Jeffery, F.E.S., Mr. 

 E. A. Wiinsch, F.Q-.S., Mr. Tweedy, and others. Before

 felt greatly indebted to the gentlemen who, in their excellent 

 addresses, had imparted to them so much valuable information, 

 which would be of the greatest service to them during the 

 coming week. He was sure that every member of the party 

 would on his return home look back with the greatest pleasure 

 to the very agreeable evening which had now come to a close. 

 In the name of the ladies and gentlemen accompanying him as 

 excursionists he thanked the President and Council of the Eoyal 

 Institution of Cornwall most heartily and sincerely for their 

 great kindness and hospitality.
