congTatulated on their having- again pubhshed in their ' Pro- 

 ceedings ' a series of sections along- the Yori<shire coast from 

 Flamboroug^h northwards, reproduced from some of Mr. Bing-ley's 

 neg-atives. 



It is recommended that the Committee be reappointed, as 

 follows : — Godfrey Bing'ley, Leeds, Chairman ; J. E. Bedford, 

 F.G.S., Leeds, Hon. Secretary ; Rev. E. Maule Cole, M.A. , 

 F.G.S., Wetwang- ; Edwin Hawkesworth, Leeds ; and F. Fielder 

 Walton, F.G.S., Hull ; with W. W. Watts, London, as Hon. 

 Member. 



The Coast Erosion Committee. — The Rev. E. Maule Cole, 

 M.A. , the Secretary of this Committee, reports that as usual 

 nothing- particular can be reported about coast erosion. Several 

 of the stations hitherto used north and south of Bridling^ton have 

 been rendered useless by the construction of sea walls. An 

 immense slip of Boulder Clay took place this year just south of 

 the Spa at Scarborough. Also a larg-e mass of Lias came down 

 at the end of Ring- Street, Robin Hood's Bay, carrying- with it 

 several outbuilding-s. This was in September. The sea will 

 soon remove the debris in either case. 



It is recommended that the Committee be reappointed as 

 follows: — J. C. I'Anson, F.S.A., F.G.S., London, Chairman; 

 Rev. E. Maule Cole, M.A., F.G.S., Wetwang-, York, Hon. 

 Secretary; Rev. H. E. Maddock, M.A., F.G.S., Patring-ton ; 

 F. Fielder Walton, F.G.S., HuU ; and J. W. Woodall,"j.P., 

 F.G.S., Scarboroug-h ; with C. E. De Ranee, F.G.S., as Hon. 

 Member. 



The Yorkshire Micro-Zoology and Micro-Botany Com- 

 mittee have not had any opportunities for research in pond life 

 afforded them by the excursions of the past year, and their work 

 has therefore been confined to private investig-ations by their 

 members. It is recommended that the Committee be reappointed 

 as follows : — H. C. Sorby, LL.D., F.R.S., Sheffield, Chairman ; 

 M. H. Stiles, Doncaster, Hon. Secretary; J. Newton Coombe, 

 Sheffield; C. B. Crawshaw, J. P., Dewsbury ; Prof. Alfred Denny, 

 F.L.S., Sheffield; Charles P. Hobkirk, F.L. S., Dewsbury; 

 F. W. Mills, F.R.M.S., Huddersfield; John Stubbins, F.L.S., 

 F.R.M.S., Leeds; and Wm. West, F.L.S., Bradford. 



The Marine Biology Committee. — The members have 

 worked quietly during- the year, and have paid repeated visits to 

 the coast. The Committee has, however, had no opportunity 

 afforded them for research at the Union meeting-s, the tide not 

 havings been suitable on the occasion of the Scarboroug-h excur- 

 sion. It is recommended that the Committee be reappointed
