6o YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION. 



• 



Chairman, Mr. Kendall, has devoted much attention to North- 

 East Yorkshire, and his records are most notable. He reports 

 Shap Granite 675 feet above sea level, near Stangfhow, on the 

 outer face of the Cleveland Hills, and also in gravel in Common- 

 dale, which appears to have travelled through from Kildale. 

 Along- the northern portion of the Cleveland area Porphyrites 

 of the Cheviot type occur plentifully, and up to 850 feet in 

 the Lockwood Hills. The distribution of Liassic boulders is 

 significant. Mr. Stather reports a huge mass of Upper Lias in 

 the boulder clay at Filey, and Messrs. Kendall, Muff, and 

 Stonegate at an altitude considerably above that of any neigh- 

 bouring outcrop of the rock. Some additional information as 

 to the pink flints in the Holderness drift is reported, while 

 Rhomb Porphyry has been found by Mr. Stather 810 feet above 

 sea level at West Rig'g, the highest and most westerly point 

 recorded. 



It is recommended that the Committee be re-appointed 

 as follows : — Percy F. Kendall, F.G.S., Leeds, Chairman ; 

 J. H. Howarth, F.G.S., Bradford, Convener ; J. E. Bedford, 

 F.G.S., Leeds ; John Burton, Horbury ; Rev. W. L. Carter,

The Yorkshire Fossil Flora Committee. — In the absence 

 of the Secretary, Mr. Wm. Cash, F.G.S., Mr. Robert Kidston, 

 F.R. S.E., Chairman, reports that little has been done by the 

 members of the Committee during the last year, and that only 

 two of them have supplied specimens for examination. These, 

 however, have not afforded sufficient material on which to hand 

 in a report, and it is hoped that before the next annual meeting 

 is held the members of Committee will see that this state of 

 matters is altered. 



It is recommended that the Committee be re-elected as 

 follows :— Robert Kidston, F.R.S.E., F.G.S., StirHng, N.B., 

 Chairman ; Benjamin Holgate, F.G.S., Leeds, Vice-Chairman ; 

 Wm. Cash, F.G.S., Halifax, Convener, J. W. Bond, Leeds; 

 W. Hemingway, Barnsley ; Robert Law, F.G.S.^ Hipperholme ; 

 Wm. West, F.L.S., Bradford ; and J. E. Wilson, Ilkley.
