found, and Joseph Wright to carry on the search for microzoa, 

 A. Percy Hoskins making such chemical or mechanical analyses 

 as might be deemed necessary ; whilst Miss Andrews, R. J. 

 Welch, and other members undertook to photograph sections 

 of special interest. The need for more exact knowledge of the 

 rock-fragments found resulted in a request from the Geological 

 Committee for permission to organize a set of geological 

 lectures to be given by Professor Grenville Cole under the 

 auspices of the Club, of which a notice is given at the end of 

 this report. The investigations were commenced upon the 

 1 2th of August, and up to the present time nine deposits have 

 been visited, in addition to many observations previously made 

 by individual members. S. A. Stewart and Joseph Wright 

 have kindly granted permission to use the results of their 

 former examinations into the Mollusca and Foraminifera of the 

 boulder clays of the north-east of Ireland, contained in the 

 appendices of the Club's Proceedings. Such lists will be distin- 

 guished by an asterisk. 



The Committee have to thank Professor Cole for the gift of 

 his book li Aids in Practical Geology," and some MS. notes ; 

 Dr. Szab6 for his work on " Blowpipe Analysis ; " A. R. Dwer- 

 ryhouse, P. F. Kendall, R. LI. Praeger, and R. J. Welch for 

 books, pamphlets, and MS. notes ; P. F. Kendall for the gift of 

 a collection of Scotch and other rocks, and Prof. Cole and A. 

 M'Henry for aid in determining the origin of erratics, and J. 

 Stelfox and H. M'Cleery for arrangements connected with the 

 lectures.
