8 MEETINGS. 



The second Summer Excursion took place on Thursday, 

 May 29th, after having been postponed from May loth owing 

 to wet weather. 



About 15 members and friends were present. 



Dr. B. On. O'Reilly, Mr. F. J. Clarke and Edmund 

 Butler were proposed as members and elected. 



A start was made at George-road at 2.30 where Mr. 

 Collenette pointed out the brick earth which overlies all that 

 part of the island, showing glacial action. The party after- 

 wards proceeded along the Fort-road, and the lowering of the 

 fields adjoining due to the clay being used for the making of 

 the bricks for the Fort, was pointed out by Mr. Collenette. 

 The members then proceeded to Fermain Bay, where the 

 continuation of the clay deposit was followed, and at the 

 northern point of the Bay, two raised beaches, one im- 

 mediately over the other, were pointed out. The party next 

 embarked in a boat provided by one of the members, Mr. 

 H. C. Le Messurier, and inspected the coast-line as far as 

 Divette, visiting the " Marble Caves " on the way. At 

 Divette, Mr. Collenette drew attention to various objects of 

 geological interest in the deposits there. 



The third Summer Excursion was held on June 21st, 

 when about 30 members took part. 



The recently-discovered submerged beach at Vazon was 

 first visited and was explained by Mr. A. Collenette. The 

 Creux es Fees at Houmet was next seen. It was explored 

 for some 60 or 70 feet by the members, but further progress 

 was stopped by large boulders. It was, however, seen that it 

 extended much further inland. The party afterwards crossed 

 Vazon Bay to Le Crocq where the Menhir and Kitchen 

 Midden were examined, as well as the 25 foot beach on which 

 the Kitchen Midden is. After this the party adjourned to 

 tea at Richmond Fort Picnic House, and later returned to 

 Town by brake. 



The following lady and gentlemen were elected members : 

 Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Moon, Les Fontaines, King's-road ; Rev. 

 A. Gr. Le Masurier, St. Matthew's, Cobo. 



AN EXCURSION TO HERM. 



The excursion to Herm on July 10th was one of the most 

 successful yet held. A hundred members of the Society and

 o'clock, and after a pleasant crossing of the Little Russel 

 were landed by tiie ship's boats at the Rosiere steps. The 

 first to land was the Hon. Sec. of the Society, Mr. S. Carey
