  Spitsbergen, 
  Ireland, 
  and 
  Scotland 
  exactly 
  similar 
  lavas 
  were 
  of 
  

   Tertiary 
  age. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  G. 
  C. 
  Crick 
  agreed 
  with 
  the 
  Authors 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  the 
  

   cephalopoda 
  exhibited, 
  and 
  with 
  regard 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Gregory's 
  question 
  

   respecting 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  Belemnites 
  Panderi 
  with 
  the 
  ammonites 
  

   referred 
  by 
  the 
  Authors 
  to 
  A. 
  macrocephalus 
  and 
  A. 
  modiolaris, 
  

   suggested 
  that 
  possibly 
  beds 
  of 
  a 
  somewhat 
  higher 
  horizon 
  than 
  that 
  

   indicated 
  by 
  the 
  Authors 
  were 
  also 
  present. 
  

  

  The 
  President, 
  Prof. 
  H. 
  G. 
  Seeley, 
  Dr. 
  G. 
  J. 
  Hinde, 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  

   Montefiore 
  Brice, 
  and 
  Prof. 
  Lawson 
  also 
  spoke. 
  

  

  The 
  Authors, 
  in 
  reply, 
  said 
  that 
  they 
  did 
  not 
  suggest 
  that 
  the 
  

   basalts 
  were 
  of 
  Jurassic 
  age. 
  They 
  thought 
  that 
  these 
  were 
  probably 
  

   related 
  to 
  the 
  Jurassic 
  rocks 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  way 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  north 
  

   of 
  Skye. 
  They 
  were 
  quite 
  aware 
  of 
  the 
  probable 
  occurrence 
  

   of 
  faults 
  in 
  the 
  district, 
  but 
  could 
  not 
  give 
  any 
  direct 
  evidence 
  on 
  

   this 
  point. 
  

  

  With 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  Upper 
  Jurassic 
  age 
  of 
  the 
  higher 
  plant- 
  

   bearing 
  beds, 
  they 
  were 
  pleased 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  support 
  the 
  view 
  of 
  

   Dr. 
  Nathorst. 
  They 
  thought 
  that 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  Belemnites 
  Panderi 
  

   would 
  prove 
  greater 
  than 
  was 
  supposed. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  they 
  desired 
  to 
  express 
  their 
  appreciation 
  of 
  

   the 
  careful 
  way 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  specimens 
  had 
  been 
  collected 
  and 
  

   labelled 
  — 
  a 
  result 
  doubtless 
  in 
  large 
  measure 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  energy 
  

   and 
  organizing 
  skill 
  of 
  the 
  Hon. 
  Secretary 
  of 
  the 
  Expedition, 
  

   Mr. 
  Montefiore 
  Brice.
