Mr. A. M. Davies, in exhibiting a specimen of glauconitic lime- 

 stone from the Kimeridge Clay, said that it might easily be taken 

 for Upper Greensand. It came from a road-cutting near Womb well's 

 Farm, Chilton (Bucks), about 40 feet below the top of the Hartwell 

 Clay, and therefore evidently from the true Kimeridgian. The 

 outcrop of the stone gives rise to a slight but distinct feature, 

 traceable for about | mile along the hillside. There are traces 

 of fossils in the stone, but an impression of a biplex Ammonite 

 was alone recognizable. No similar bed had been previously 

 recorded from the English Kimeridgiaa. 



In addition to the specimen mentioned above the following were 

 exhibited : — 



Specimens, Microscope-sections, and Lantern-slides, exhibited by 

 Prof. W. J. Sollas, M.A., LL.D., D.Sc, F.K.S., in illustration of his 

 papers. 



Specimens and Microscope-sections exhibited by C. T. Clough, 

 Esq., M.A., F.G.S., and Dr. W. Pollard, M.A., F.G.S., in illustration 

 of their paper. 



Boulder of Igneous Rock found in Drift 300 feet above O.D., 

 near Norton Heath (Essex), exhibited by A. E. Salter, Esq., F.G.S.

W. Whitakek, B.A., F.E.S., President, in the Chair. 



Hyman Herman, Esq., B.C.E., Department of Mines, Victoria 

 (Australia), and Francis Beaumont Stephens, Esq., Lecturer on 

 Metallurgy and Determinative Mineralogy at Otago University, 

 Dunedin (New Zealand), were elected Fellows of the Society ; 

 Prof. Emmanuel Kayser, of Marburg, was elected a Foreign 

 Member ; and Prof. Franz Loewinson-Lessing, of Dorpat, and 

 Prof. R. Zeiller, of Paris, were elected Foreign Correspondents of 

 the Society. 



The List of Donations to the Library was read. 



The President drew attention to the presentation by Dr. H. C. 

 SoRBY, F.R.S., past-President G.S., of an autotype portrait of himself. 

 He understood that the portrait was a reproduction of one which 

 had been painted in commemoration of Dr. Sorby's long connexion, 

 no less than 52 years, with the Sheffield Microscopical Society, as 

 a Member of its C'v;uncil. He thanked Dr. Sorby on behalf of 

 the Fellows of the Geological Society, and expressed the pleasure 

 which they felt at seeing him among them that evening.
