SUMMER SESSION. 



**«- 



The following Excursions were made during the Summer Session : 



On Saturday, 19th May, to 



DUNCRUE AND WOODBURN. 



HE Club successfully opened its Summer Session by a 

 very pleasant excursion to Woodbum Glen and Duncrue 

 Salt Mines. The party, including a number of ladies, 

 left by the 9-30 train for Trooper's Lane station, and walked 

 thence to Woodbum Glen. The day was exceedingly fine, and 

 the country looked remarkably well. Reaching the Glen the 

 geologists were soon busy with hammer and pick at the fossiliferous 

 bands of Greensand, &c, that crop out at the sides of the Glen. 

 The exposed sections of Cretaceous rocks and basalt were de- 

 scribed by Mr. Gray, the Vice-President, who acted as conductor ; 

 and then the party went rambling about the Glen, following their 

 various pursuits. At a pre-arranged hour all met at the Duncrue 

 Salt Mines, and were received by the Company's very courteous 

 Secretary, J. A. Cochrane, Esq., under whose careful superin- 

 tendence, assisted by his efficient staff, the whole party, numbering 

 upwards of forty, descended the shafts, which are about 620 feet
