and more than that height on the hills east 

 of Macclesfield. Boulders from the Lake 

 District are scattered over much the same 

 area and attain the same elevation, but 

 extend, as might be expected, rather far- 

 ther to the east in Lancashire. They also 

 have been found on the eastern side of the 

 Pennine watershed, perhaps the most re- 

 markable instances being in the dales of the 

 Derbyshire Derwent and on the adjacent 

 hills as much as 1,400 feet above the sea- 

 level. ^^ A third remarkable stream of 

 erratics from the neighborhood of the 

 Arenig Mountains extends from near the 

 estuary of the Dee right across the paths 

 of the two streams from the north, its east- 

 ern border passing near Rugeley, Birming- 

 ham and Bromsgrove. They also range 

 high, occurring almost 900 feet above sea- 

 level on Romsley Hill, north of the Clents, 

 and being common at Gloppa. Boulders 

 also from the basalt mass of Rowley Regis 

 have traveled in some cases between four 

 and five miles, and in directions ranging 

 from rather west of south to northeast; 

 and, though that mass hardly rises above 

 the 700-feet contour line, one lies with an 

 Arenig boulder on Romsley Hill. From 

 Charnwood Forest, the crags of which 

 range up to about 850 feet above sea-level, 

 boulders have started which have been 

 traced over an area to the south and west 

 to a distance of more than twenty miles.

The Hotel Navarre, at 38th Street and 7th

 containing most of the theaters and many of 

 the larger hotels and restaurants. It is four 

 blocks from the Subway, five blocks from the 

 Sixth and Ninth Avenue elevated stations, 

 eight blocks from the Grand Central Station 

 and six blocks from the new Pennsylvania 

 Station. Accommodations should be reserved 

 in advance, if possible. 



No special entertainments have been ar- 

 ranged for the meeting in New York, the 

 committee being of the opinion that the visit-

 forded by the city. 



The Fishmongers Association extends a 

 cordial invitation to the members of the so- 

 ciety to visit the Fulton Fish Market, Pier 17,
