Fossils and their correlation with Recent Types." Ke exhibited 

 a fine collection of fossils from our local rocks and showed with 

 every conspicuous type a specimen of the nearest living repre- 

 sentative. Mr. W. J. C. Tomlinson's paper, on 28th February, 

 dealt with the "Geological Aspects of Coast Erosion," in which he 

 gave a graphic description of the agencies to which it is due, and 

 showed a fine collection of lantern slides. On 27th March, Mr. 

 James Strachan gave an important lecture on " Beekite or Cyclo- 

 idal Chalcedony." He concluded with a summary of his own 

 original investigations on the subject, and we hope his lecture will 

 be printed in extenso. 



In Glacial Geology the Committee report the investigation 

 of Boulder-Clay at Tyrone Brickfield, Dungannen, and the further 

 examination of the Portstewart Sandhills. Erratics from both 

 districts were determined by Professor Cole and Mr. Kilroe, to 

 whom the Committee tender their best thanks. Many of the 

 Dungannon boulders are of local origin, in connection with which 

 Mr. Kilroe notes " the generally local character of the erratics in 

 the Dungannon area is consistent with the area being one 

 approximating to the axis of dispersion during the latest phase of 

 main glaciation." 



The thanks of the Section are also due to Professor Cole for 

 a copy of his important paper, " Glacial Features in Spitsbergen in 

 relation to Irish Geology." 



In conclusion, the Committee record with regret the death 

 of one of the members of the Section, Mr. John Brown, F.R.S.
