from them was from time to time redistributed, and that the 

 remaining stumps of the highlands were buried beneath the 

 Keuper Marls. 



Prof. Watts remarked that the Author had worked out the 

 structure of the Malverns by detailed study of the simpler and 

 f ossiferous Cambrian and Silurian rocks on the flanks of the range. 

 He hoped that the Author would extend his study to the more difficult 

 crystalline rocks of the central range. He enquired whether it was 

 certain that the Martley quartzite was of the same age as that 

 of the Lickey Hills. 



The Author thanked the Society for the cordial reception given 

 to his paper. In reply to Sir Archibald Geikie, he stated that he 

 had been unable to detect any evidence of recent movement along 

 the great fault on the eastern side of the Malvern Range. To 

 Prof. Watts he replied that the Martley quartzite, while resembling 

 macroscopically and microscopically the Cambrian quartzites of 

 Hartshill and the Malverns, differed greatly from any other rock in 

 the district, including the metamorphic quartzites of the Malverns.
