128 MEETINGS. 



11 feet of sandy clay with large angular detached 

 stones. 



1 foot of rolled beach stones. 

 Base sea- washed rock. 

 These are approximate measures only. 



The cuttings in roads have been watched, but nothing of 

 noteworthy nature has been reported. At the Canichers, near 

 Clifton Terrace, during the laying of a drain, the ground was 

 found to rest over paving-stones which were 8 feet below the 

 present level. That was made ground evidently filled in 

 during an improvement. 



The Geological section in tendering this report feels that 

 the information given is very incomplete and fragmentary, 

 and hopes that more useful work will be done in the future, 

 the members being now prepared with various apparatus for 

 the more thorough measurement and observation needed. 



This over, and a hearty vote of thanks having been 

 accorded to Mr. W. M. Cooper for the admirably prepared 

 sketches and plans of various quarries, cuttings, raised 

 beaches, &c, examined and reported on by the Geological 

 section, the election of officers for the ensuing year was 

 proceeded with. Mr. Whitehead was re-elected President, 

 Mr. F. M. Alles, Vice-President, Mr. W. Sharp, Hon. Secretary, 

 and Mr. W. A. Luff, Hon. Treasurer. The following gentle- 

 men were elected to form the Council: — Messrs. Collenette, 

 Derrick, De La Mare, Pitts, Marquand, and Rose. 



Mr. Luff then read an interesting and valuable paper on 

 the Neuroptera of Guernsey, an order of insects including 

 the lace- wing flies, dragon flies and caddis flies. Carefully 

 mounted and named specimens illustrated the paper ; among 

 them were several examples of a caddis fly (Philopotamus 

 insularis) peculiar to Guernsey. This important list, the 

 first that has yet been made out for this island, will be found 

 printed in full in the following pages. 



Votes of thanks to the Treasurer and Secretary for their 

 services during the past year, and to Mr. Luff for his paper, 

 brought the meeting to a close.
