The following communications were read : — 



1. ' The Highest Silurian Rocks of the Ludlow District.' By 

 Miss Gertrude L. Elles, D.Sc. (Dublin), and Miss I. L. Slater, 

 B.A. (Dublin), Newnham College, Cambridge. (Communicated by 

 Prof. T. McKenny Hughes, M.A., F.R.S., F.G.S.) 



2. 'The Carboniferous Rocks at Rush (County Dublin).' By 

 Charles Alfred Matley, D.Sc, F.G.S. With an Account of the 

 Faunal Succession and Correlation, by Arthur Vaughan, B.A., 

 D.Sc, F.G.S. 



Prof. G. F. Wright, in exhibiting a map of the Lebanon 

 district, gave an interesting description of the evidence which he 

 found, in a recent journey to that district, as to the height and 

 extent of the terminal moraine. He remarked also that the water- 

 level in the Jordan Valley stood, in comparatively-recent times, 

 750 feet higher than at present, and this he connected with the 

 glaciation of the area. Very small climatic changes would be 

 sufficient to start the Lebanon Glacier again. 



The following specimens and drawings were exhibited : — 



Fossils exhibited in illustration of the paper by Miss G. L. Elles, 

 D.Sc, and Miss I. L. Slater, B.A. 



Rock-specimens, etc. exhibited by Dr. C. A. Matley, F.G.S., in 

 illustration of his and Dr. Vaughan's paper. 



Water-colour drawings of microscopic rock-sections by the late 

 Rev. T. Neville Hutchinson, made about the year 1878, exhibited 

 by the Rev. H. Neville Hutchinson, B.A., F.G.S.
