PROCEEDINGS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



3 



Mr. Evans rose with great pleasure to second the vote of thanks 

 proposed by Mr. Warington Smyth. The portrait was indeed 

 replete with interest, not only to English geologists but to all 

 geologists in the world. An additional interest attaching to the 

 portrait was that we had the whole history of it from Dr. Smith's 

 own hand, an extract from which Mr. Evans read. The portrait 

 was an admirable one. He hoped that in the future Mr. Smith's 

 example would be followed, and that we should see many other por- 

 traits of eminent geologists on the Society's walls. The Society 

 was also deeply indebted to the President for the interest which he 

 had taken in the matter. 



The vote of thanks was carried by acclamation. 



The following communications were read : — 



1. "On abnormal Geological Deposits in the Bristol District." 

 By Charles Moore, Esq., E.G.S. 



2. " Interglacial Deposits of West Cumberland and North Lanca- 

 shire." By J. D. Kendall, Esq., C.E., F.G.S. 



Specimens from deposits in the Bristol District were exhibited by 

 Mr. Moore in illustration of his paper.
