EVENING MEETINGS.— It is expected that there will be an informal 
discussion on Friday or Saturday evening on local Geological Problems, and per- 
haps also on subjects interesting to other than geological members. 
ROUTES. — Investigators in all sections will confine themselves as far as 
possible to the coast. Botanists will investigate the flora of the underclift' and of 
the Banks and the short glens running inland. 
GEOLOGY. — The Geological Section will be officially represented by Mr. J. 
W. Stather, F.G.S. (who will act as leader). 
Mr. T. W. Saunders writes : — The Dogger or the parting between the Oolite 
and the Lias is seen to great advantage, capped by the Oolitic Sandstone and 
Boulder Clay, to the east and the wtst of the bay. At the west side the remains 
of some old iron works are to be seen, formerly known as the Albion Iron Works, 
where the Dogger was used or smelted along with Ironstone from the Main Seam 
or Spinaiiis Beds. Thousands of tons of Dogger, or what is known to the Cleve- 
land miners as the Top Seam of Ironstone, were worked from about this neigh- 
bourhood forty or fifty years ago, and especially so further west at Rosedale VVyke, 
where a fine section can be seen and examined. It changes very quickly from an 
ironstone to a ferruginous sandstone. Associated with the Dogger is a band 
of pebbles, which can be traced wherever the Dogger crops out. Part of the strata 
which make up the section stands the weather very badly, and the pebbles are 
exposed in great variety, along with the casts of fossils which are much worn. I 
have collected in the district quite a number of fossils, including parts of Ammonites. 
A little to the west of the ironworks a section of the Dogger is seen, the top part 
being made up of bands of coal from 1/16 of an inch thick, giving a total thickness 
of about two feet. This coal seems to have been used in the smelting of the 
Dogger. At the east of the bay right through to Kettleness, the Dogger is well 
seen, especially in the old Kettleness Alum Quarries, where fossils from the Dogger 
may be collected. In the Kettleness area it has been well proven by bore holes 
put down by the Skinningrove Iron Company during the last two-and-a-half years 
or so. The borings give some remarkable results in the form of the well known 
changes of the Dogger, both in thickness of section and quality. 
In some cases a very rich ironstone was reached, and in other cases it 
deteriorated to ferruginous sandstone. Some of the characteristic fossils which 
may be met with are as follows : Natica cincta^ Nerita pseudocostaia, Turbo laevi- 
gatiis^ Ttiyritella qtiadricosiata^ Modiola denticulata, Trigonia denticulata, Astarte 
elegans, and Rhynchonella obsoleta, with various fragments of Ammonites and 
Belemnites.
