will, they doubt not, be transmitted to them. It

already on this Committee, with the assistance of

is to be hoped that measures will shortly be taken to 
supply the deficiency. 
IV. The Geological Committee have entered

nitude before them, but by the zeal and energy of the

who were likely to assist in the promotion of their 
objects. This plan has proved eminently successful 
in the elucidation of very valuable information. 
The district of the Malvern Range, chiefly consist-

allotted to Mr. Morris, has been minutely examined 
by that gentleman, and the results of his investiga-

Society, in his very interesting Lecture upon the 
Science of Geology. 
The strata, from Martley, on the south, to Ribbes-

miles in length, including the Abberley Hills, has
