108 MEETINGS. 



The first excursion of the season took place on Thursday, 

 April 30th, 1914. The locality chosen was the neighbourhood 

 of Rousse and Pulias. The weather was cold and wet, and 

 the numbers of members who took part, small. The principal 

 object of interest was the beach at Rousse, and the reader 

 is referred to Mr. A. Collenette's paper elsewhere in these 

 Transactions for the geological features of the said beach. 



On Saturday, May 16th, another excursion, attended by 

 about 18 members, took place, starting from Brock Road at 

 2.30 p.m. The selected spot, " Les Tielles," Torteval, was 

 reached after a delightful drive. The cliffs, which have been 

 visited by the Society on several previous occasions, are the 

 grandest in Guernsey, and their descent or ascent is difficult 

 and dangerous. The party however chose a comparatively 

 easy path descending to the beach, which is very rough and 

 requires scrambling over large masses of rock and spurs of 

 the cliffs. These cliffs were examined under Mr. Collenette's 

 guidance, and the reader is again referred to his paper. Some 

 of the party scrambled to a cave the mouth of which is about 

 30 feet above the beach, but only 10 feet above high water 

 mark. This cave is about 70 feet in depth and its mouth is 

 very low. It is used by fishermen for storing their crab-pots, 

 and a flat-bottomed boat was found drawn up inside. There 

 seems no prospect of finding prehistoric remains iu it. 



On Thursday, June 25th, an excursion devoted to Marine 

 Zoology took place under the guidance of Mr. J. Sinel, the 

 well-known Jersey naturalist, the field of work being the 

 beach to the south of the town. 



Another excursion under the same guidance, also partly 

 devoted to Marine Zoology, took place on Saturday, June 27, 

 and proved the most successful excursion of the year. The 

 following is a detailed account of it. 



EXCURSION TO THE NORTH-EASTERN PART OF 

 GUERNSEY. 



One of the most successful excursions organised by the 

 Guernsey Society of Natural Science took place on Saturday 

 afternoon last. The locality selected was the north-east part 

 of the Island, and the departure took place at two o'clock 

 from the quay in a motor char-a-banc and a motor jubilee car. 

 About thirty persons embarked, and between fifteen and 

 twenty cycled to Bordeaux Harbour, where a stop was made, 

 and a party numbering fifteen proceeded under the charge of 

 Mr. J. Sinel, of Jersey, to study Marine Zoology.
