Grove over to Ashley Down, and that the Lias beds extended to York- 
shire. The A. planorbis fossils were found both above and below the 
Sutton series, ard no one had ever yet seen an Ammonite in a Rhaetic bed ; 
further, the Cotham marble was recognised by every one as a well-marked 
boundary line.

MEETINGS OF SECTIONS. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Tuesday, Oct. 8th. — At the wish of several members, an excursion 
was arranged for this afternoon to Patchway, to try the Ivy-blossom in 
that neighbourhood. Unfortunately, a slight misunderstanding arose as 
to the place of meeting, and at which South Wales Union Railway Station 
the members were to assemble, so that the excursion did not take place — 
neither did members attend at the Institution in the evening, for the 
meeting which was to have been held, in case the weather interfered with 
the excursion. 
CHEMICAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION. 
Wednesday, October 9th. — The attendance of members was very 
limited, being confined to the President, Mr. P. J. Worsley, F.C.S., the 
Secretary, Mr. Alfred Noble, F.C.S., the Reporting Secretary of the Society, 
and one other gentleman. Mr, Noble stated that it was with extreme 
regret that he was obliged to resign the Secretaryship of the Section, as 
the state of his health since a severe illness in the summer, obliged him to 
give up all extra mental work ; he therefore handed over the books and 
papers belonging to the section to the Reporting Secretary. It was also 
stated that another active member had been ordered to abstain from work, 
and that a third had removed from the neighbourhood.
