Discussion. 



The President remarked that, when he first visited Tortworth 

 some thirty years ago, he was chiefly impressed with the un- 

 promising nature of the exposures, a feeling that was deepened 

 when he recently paid a visit to the district under the guidance 

 of Prof. Reynolds. The Authors were all the more to he con- 

 gratulated on their successful mapping, which could only have been 

 accomplished by much patience and perseverance. The trend-line 

 of the district ran north and south, in the Malvernian direction, 

 and the meridional direction again set in farther north in the 

 Pennine chain. Thus, although the movements which had afi'ected 

 the area were Hercynian, the direction was perpendicular to the 

 Armorican. The cause of this anomaly still remained obscure ; it 

 might have lain in the influence of the coast-line of ' St. George's 

 Island,' or it might have been of a more general nature. He 

 enquired whether the Authors were prepared to throw any light on 

 this question. There was no unconformity between the Old Red 

 Sandstone and the Ludlow at Rhymney, near Cardiff". 



Mr. Htjdleston admitted that he had never seen the Tortworth 

 Inlier, but was much interested in what had just fallen from the
