ROUTES. — The whole of the party will leave the top of Regent Street, 
Barnsley, at 10-15 prompt, and be conveyed by motor bus to Cawthorne. 
The starting point named at the top of Regent Street is within five minutes' walk 
of the G.C., Midland, and L. 8c V. Railways, and within two minutes' walk of the 
Central Chambers, where the evening meetings will be held, and members may 
leave any coats, bags, or other luggage which they will not require again until evening. 
All members intending lo be present must book seats for the motor bus by 
sending in their names to the Divisional Secretary, Mr. Arthur VVhitaker, Saville 
House, Worsbroui^h Bridge, so that they may be received not later than Thursday, 
August 26th. The fare will be 6d. per head. 
On the arrival of the party at Cawthorne at about 10-45 a.m., an interval of 
one hour and a quarter will be allowed, to give those members who wish, an oppor- 
tunity of obtaining lunch, and also to give time for members to examme the 
interesting collection of specimens and objects, many of particular local interest, to 
be viewed in the Cawthorne Museum, to which all members will have free admis- 
sion during the day. 
The whole of the members will leave Cawthorne at twelve noon. The 
geological party, under the guidance of the Rev. Chas. T. Pratt, and the remainder 
of the members unJer the leadership of Dr. Fryer, and Mr. B. Morley. 
GEOLOGY.— The Rev. C. T. Pratt writes :— The solid geology of the district 
presents only the usual features of the Middle and Lower Coal Measures. In the 
lower part of the village, there is an outcrop of the Silkstone Seam, where it is being 
privately worked. The spoil heap of the Stanhope Silkstone Colliery, to the east of 
the village, will yield abundance of the freshwater mollusc, Anthracosia carbonarius. 
Many of the local fossills will be seen in the small village museum, which the 
Museum Committee invites members to visit, and where the programme of the 
geological section will be explained. 
Superficial Geology. — So far there has been no discovery of glacial drift 
reported within the area of the day's excursion. Members will have their attention 
called to two large erratics outside the Museum, discovered by the wiiter some 
years ago. They are of the cleaved volcanic ash that is found in the Lake Country. 
They are mentioned in the report of the Yorkshire Boulder Committee, 1896-7, 
and on page 421 of the Proc. of the Yorkshire Geological Society, vol. xv., part 
iii. A description of them was given in "The Naturalist" for August, 1902, p. 
258. Their presence in a locality supposed to be free from erratics will suggest 
questions on the glaciation of the neighbourhood, such as those of which Mr. 
Lower Carter offers an explanation in his paper on the '* Glaciation of the Don 
and Dearne Valleys."
