HEADQUARTERS.— At the Albemarle Hotel, Scarborough, close by the 

 Station. Terms : Bed, breakfast, and dinner, 5/6 per day. Members intending to 

 be present should advise the Manageress at once — accommodation will be provided 

 in the order of application received. On Saturday evening a meeting will be held, 

 when various items of interest will be discussed. 



BOOKS AND MAPS. — The whole area is included in Sheet 95 N.W. (New 

 Series Sheet 44) of the One-Inch Ordnance Map, which may be obtained geologi- 

 cally coloured. Geologists should make particular reference to Mr. Kendall's 

 paper on "Glacier Lakes in the Cleveland Hills" (Q.J.G.S., August, 1912). 

 Baker's " North Yorkshire " will also be useful. 



THE DISTRICT to be investigated is high on the moorlands west of 

 Scarborough, and not easily accessible. It consequently appears to have been but 

 little worked. 



ROUTES. — Waggonettes leave the " Albemarle Hotel," Scarborough, each 

 morning at 10.30 (2/- each), (i) to the confluence at Helwath Beck and Jugger 

 Howe Beck, thence by the Falcon Inn to Staintondale. (2) Hayburn Wyke by 

 Cloughfon Moor to Hardhurst Slack and back to Cloughton, (3) Cloughton by 

 Stonedale and Ripleys to Thirley Cotes (lateral moraine or esker perhaps) to 

 Burgate. 



PERMISSION to visit their properties has been kindly granted by Lord 

 Derwent and the Duchy of Lancaster. 



GEOLOGY. — The Geological Section will be officially represented by Mr. 

 P. F. Kendall, F.G.S. 



Mr. P. F. Kendall writes : — The area to be studied comprises a block of 

 elevated moorland country based upon the outcrops of the Estuarine beds of the 

 Lower Oolites with the following interbedded fossiliferous marine beds in ascending 

 series — the Eller Beck Bed, the Millepore Bed, and the Grey Limestone Series. 

 The rocks dip steadily to the southward, and the ground falls rather steeply in the 

 same direction. A large patch of moorland peat — probably the largest mass in the 

 Cleveland area — is to be seen near the Whitby Road on Harwood Dale Moor. 

 The whole district is trenched by great streamless ravines with a general north to 

 to south slope extending from and including Newlands Dale (Ha}-burn Wyke 

 Station) across to the neighbourhood of Jugger Howe Beck. These ravines, 

 together with same gorge-like river-valleys such as Jugger Howe Beck and the 

 Hackness Gorge have been regarded as the channels draining ancient glacier- 

 dammed lakes. 



BOTANY.- — The Botanical Section will be officially represented by the 

 President, Mr. J. Farrah, F.L.S. 



Flowering Plants. — Mr. H. Prodham writes : — A few plants belonging to 

 Plarwood Dale and neighbourhood that might be of most interest to strangers may 

 perhaps be Fyrola media, Drosera roiiindifolia, Narihecium oss?'fraga, Vaiciniuin 

 oxycocciis, Listera lordaia, Ciiicus heierophyllus, Convallana ?najalis, Meiiyanihes 

 trifoliata, Tanius coimnnnis, Helleboriis viridis '(perhaps an escape), Chlora 

 perfoliata — in Cloughton Cliffs. I have had many a search for Linnea borealis, but 

 without success. Several years age we had a day's search for it at the lower end 

 of Crosscliff, but we did not find it. I know of no place nearer Harwood Dale for
