Penyglienl, north of the faults, tlirough the debased \'oredales of Block Hill, 
between the faults, to die fractured and folded sections that crop out between the heavy 
blanket of drift in the picturesque Craven Lowland country, immediately south of 
the Outer Fault. Here and there along the northern margin of the Inner Fault, 
are exposures of more ancient rocks whose high dip and marked cleavage are in 
striking contrast to the j)ractically horizontal Carboniferous Basement Beds which 
lie with sucii pronounced unconformity upon ihem. 
An informal meeting of the Geological Section will be held after dinner, on the 
Saturday meeting. A special programme of excursions will be suggested for those 
able to stay over the week end.

September ist, 1883, Mr. Soppitt reported about "50 species been seen during 
the day," and added that " the district was peculiarly rich in epiphyllous species." 
Unfortunately, however, out of the 50 seen, seven only were mentioned in the 
report. When compiling the Vorks. Fungus Flora it was felt that the remaining 43 
might as well never have been seen. A good many of the leaf fungal-parasites 
should be out on the date of the excursion. 
VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The Vertebrate Section will be officially 
represented by Messrs. Booth, Fortune and Parkin. 
Mammaiia. — Mr. H. B. Booth writes : — This district contains the ordinary
