186 Reports and Proceedings—Geological Society of London. 
The chronicle of the Society itself during the first hundred years of 
its existence had been carefully and fully compiled from all available 
sources by Mr. Horace B. Woodward, F.R.S. His volume was now 
in the printer’s hands, and would be in the hands of Fellows in the 
course of the Summer. 
Excursions to places of geological note in this country would 
probably be arranged, some to precede and others to follow the 
meeting in London. The various museums and places of interest in 
the Metropolis would, of course, be shown to the expected visitors ; 
and there would doubtless be no lack of public and private hospitality. 
It was anticipated that the Universitics of Oxford and Cambridge 
would both receive the foreign guests. But the details of these 
various arrangements had still to be worked out. 
The ballot for the Council and Officers was taken, and the following were dean 
duly elected for the ensuing year :—Cowneil : H. H. Arnold- Bemrose, J.P., M.A. 5

The following communications were read :— 
1. ‘On the Lower Ordovician Succession in Seandinavia.” By 
William George Fearnsides, M.A., F.G.S. 
The paper is a stratigraphical account of the Dictyonema Shales, 
the Ceratopyge Beds, the Didymograptus Shales, and the Orthoceras 
Limestone of Sweden and Southern Norway, and is based upon field 
observations of Scandinavian type localities made by the author 
during the Summer of 1906. ‘he beds are discussed under the 
following headings :— 
(C) Didymograptus Shales and Orthocerakalk, 
(B) Glauconite Shales and Ceratopygekalk, 
(A) Dictyonema and Bryograptus Shales, 
which are found to be applicable to all the sections visited. 
For purposes of ready correlation with the British Tremadoe rocks, 
the upper part of the Acerocaris zone of the Alum Shales is con- 
sidered along with Division A, and the presence of trilobites of 
Ordovician type and related to those of the Ceratopygekalk in that 
as well as in the Dictyonema Beds is emphasized. It is also held
