Mr. Sussmilch in replying, pointed out that though the 

 arguments advanced by Mr. Andrews were drawn by him 

 from the Yosemite Valley, they were not to be regarded as 

 being of merely local significance, but were typical of what 

 took place elsewhere. 



The President read a letter received from Professor 

 Joseph Bcrrell of Vale University, in which he referred 

 in highly complimentary terms to a previous paper of Mr. 

 Andrews on " Oorrasion by Gravity Streams," published 

 in the last volume of the Royal Society of N. S. Wales, 

 stating that " it has impressed us as one of the most impor- 

 tant contributions to the science of erosion and resulting 

 land forms." "It is a ease where we have to go to the 

 antipodes for knowledge."
