16. "On some Superficial Deposits in the Neighbourhood of 

 Evesham." By the Eev. A. H. "Wmnington Ingram, M.A., F.G.S. 



The lower series of gravels on Green Hill contains unworn flints 

 about lOlbs. in weight. They are about 120 feet above the level of 

 the Avon, and were probably brought by floating-ice. A clay at 

 Bengeworth, beneath a sand with Uhio ovalis (60 feet above the Avon), 

 has yielded entire heads and horns of Bos primigenius, Bison priscus, 

 an antler of Cervus tarandus, and a tooth of Hippopotamus, with other 

 mammalian bones. A similar clay on the opposite side of the river at 

 Evesham has furnished Cervus tarandus and river-shells, etc. 



17. "Descriptions of Palaeozoic Corals from Northern Queensland, 

 with Observations on the Genus Stenopora." By Prof. H. A. Nicholson, 

 M.D., D.Sc, P.G.S., and R. Etheridge, Esq., Jun., F.G.S. 



The Corals described in this paper were in part collected by the late 

 Mr. Daintree, chiefly from the limestone of the Broken River, regarded 

 as of Devonian age, and in part by Mr. R. L. Jack from various sources, 

 namely, the Bowen-river Coalfield, in beds probably of Permo-Carbon- 

 iferous age, the Fanning-river Limestone (Devonian), and the Arthur' s- 

 creek Limestone (Permo-Carboniferous). Mr. Daintree's collection 

 also contained corals in the chloritic rock of the Gympsie Goldfield. 

 From the Coral Creek, Bowen-river Coalfield, the authors record 

 Stenopora ovata, Lonsd., and S. Jachii, sp. n. ; from the Fanning-river 

 Limestone, Heliolites porosus, Goldf., and Pachypora meridionalis, sp. n. ; 

 from the Gympsie chloritic rock Stenopora ?sp. ind. ; from the Broken- 

 river Limestone, Favosites gothlandicus, vars. Lam., Heliolites porosus, 

 Goldf, H. plasmoporoides, sp. n., H JDaintreei, sp. n., Heliolites sp. 

 ind., and Arceopora australis, sp. n. ; from the Arthur's-creek Lime- 

 stone, Burdekin Down, Alveolites {Pachypora ?), sp., near A. rohistus, 

 Rom., Alveolites sp. (lobate form), Aulopora repens, M.-Edw. & H., 

 Heliolites porosus, Goldf, and vars., Lithostrotion sp. ind., Pachypora 

 meridionalis, Trachypora sp. ind., and species of Cannopora and Stro- 

 matopora. The genus Arceopora is proposed as a new group; the genus 

 Stenopora is made the subject of a long discussion ; and the geological 

 characters of the deposits from which the fossils are derived are in- 

 dicated and discussed. 



The Society then adjourned to November oth.

LENTICULAR HILLS OF GLACIAL DEIFT. 



Sir, — In the June Number of the Geological Magazine Mr. 

 Warren Upham asks whether British geologists have noted accumu- 

 lations of Till like the "lenticular hills" of Prof. Hitchcock. The 

 description given of these hills answers precisely to that given by 

 Messrs. Kinahan and Close, in their paper on the " General Glacia- 

 tion of Yar-Connaught," of the " drum-lines " of unstratified 

 Boulder-clay. « 



Mr. James Geikie, also, in his " Great Ice Age," says that "in 

 lowland tracts the till is frequently arranged in long round-backed
