172 MEETINGS. 



Walker, F.L.S., of Colwyn Bay, who had lately been dredging 

 on these coasts. 



Monthly Meeting held May 11th, 1892, Mr. J. Whitehead, 

 President, in the chair. 



The minutes of the last meeting having been read and 

 signed, Mrs. H. Durand and Miss E. R. Paint were unanimously 

 elected members of the Society. 



Mr. W. A. Luff exhibited two specimens of Tettix subu- 

 lata, the smallest British grasshopper, captured by him at 

 Saints Bay. It is a rare insect in this island. 



Extracts were read from a paper by the Rev. E. Hill, 

 recently read by him before the Geological Society on " The 

 Gneisses and Hornblende Schists of Sark." 



The question of continuing during the coming summer 

 the weekly excursions which had been started last year was 

 brought up, and it was proposed to improve on last year's 

 plan by making out a programme for the whole season, giving 

 dates, hour and place of starting, route and principal objects 

 of interest, and having it printed and distributed to members. 

 It would be a great convenience to those who could not attend 

 every week, as they could then choose out beforehand the 

 excursions they preferred and arrange accordingly. No 

 excursion would be postponed ; if the weather were unfavor- 

 able it would simply drop out of the list for that year. This 

 proposal was carefully discussed, and ultimately a sub-com- 

 mittee was appointed to carry it out. 



Monthly Meeting held on June 8th, 1892, Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand in the chair. 



After the usual formal business had been disposed of, 

 Mr. A. Collenette exhibited specimens of dressed Alderney 

 stone (sandstone and diorite) kindly lent by Mr. N. Lihou, of 

 Alderney. Mr. Z. Robert exhibited specimens of stone from 

 Jersey. 



Mr. W. A. Luff exhibited a specimen of Cidaria corylata, 

 captured in the mill-stream in the Talbots Valley, on the 

 occasion of the recent excursion. It is of particular interest 

 as it is an addition to the list of Guernsey moths. 



Mr. Marquand exhibited some fine fresh water shells, 

 taken on the same occasion in the mill-pond ; the most 

 interesting were Limnaza peregra, var. inflata, and L. palus- 

 tris. 



An account of the two weekly excursions which had 

 taken place was then given by each of the sectional Secre-
