212 J. LARDER: PANUS RUDIS IN BRITAIN. 
To the south the Chalk Wolds were seen the whole length of their 
northern outcrop to Acklam Brow; then the Howardian Hills, and 
to the west the Hambleton Hills, with the many nabs of the Tabular 
Hills, which face north from Helmsley Moor, past Spaunton and 
Cropton, and the Roman Camps at Cawthorne to the spectators’ 
point of view. 
The moorland stretched out beyond northwards, crowned in the 
distance with heaps of basaltic debris thrown up in working the. 
whin-stone of this singular dyke. It was an impressive scene, 
and afforded an excellent example of subaerial denudation, such as 
is seldom met with to such a wide extent of country. The 
‘ bridestones’ were also pointed out a couple of miles off, and Mr. 
Cole explained that they were rocks in situ, which had decayed by 
weathering, much the same as the Brimham Rocks. 
There was no time or opportunity for collecting fossils, for the 
object of the leader was to impress the stratigraphical features of 
Geology on the members. The return was made across the heather 
on the upper platform of Calcareous Grit, and en route an excellent 
example of the effect of a torrential flow of water in carving out 
a deep ravine was studied. Altogether the expedition was most 
enjoyable, and, it is to be hoped, profitable 
At the close a vote of thanks to Mr. Chadwick for presiding, 
proposed by Mr. John Farrah, of Harrogate, and seconded by 
Mr. G. J. Jones, of Malton, was adopted unanimously, and all the 
more enthusiastically as it was also the occasion of wishing him a 
hearty ‘ God-speed’ on his approaching departure to New Zealand. 
In his reply Mr. Chadwick referred to the many happy and 
instructive meetings of the Union in which he had taken part, 
and observing that at the Antipodes they would long be kept in 
remembrance. 
The members then adjourned to Major Mitchelson’s residence to 
see a large collection of bones, urns, etc., recently found in an 
ancient lake-dwelling he has been investigating. They then pro- 
ceeded (at the fish-hatchery) to listen to Mr. J. W. Wheldon’s 
explanation of the process by which last year he reared many 
thousands of salmon, which were afterwards turned into the River
