EXHIBITION.— During the meeting Mr. Thomas Sheppard will exhibit 
his collection of geological and antiquarian views of Bridlington and District, in 
the large room at the Hotel. 
ROUTES. — Saturday, May 25th.— Geologists, led by members of the Hull 
Geological Society, will leave the Station Hotel at 9-30 a.m. and examine the 
coast sections between Bridlington and South Landing. 
The Botanists, under the guidance of Mr. J. F. Robinson, will visit Boynton 
Woods, leaving the Station Hotel at 9-30 a.m. Dinner at 6 o'clock. 
Any additional information respecting Routes will be found posted up in the 
large room at the Hotel. 
Monday, May 27th. — The Geologists will proceed to Flamborough by train 
leaving Bridlington at 9-15 a.m., and examine the coast sections from Thornwick 
Bay to South Landing, walking back to Bridlington, or if preferred, can travel 
back by train. 
The Botanists, etc., will also proceed to Flamborough by the 9-15 a.m. train, 
and walk back to Bridlington via Danes' Dyke Ravine. 
PERMISSION to visit their properties has been kindly granted by John 
Upton, Esq., T. G. Lloyd Greame, Esq., and the Agent of the Boynton Estate, 
conditionally that great care is exercised in not disturbing the nesting of 
Pheasants and Partridges. 
GEOLOGY,— The Geological Section will be officially represented by its 
President, Mr. T. Sheppard, F.G.S. etc.* The Glacial Committee and Coast 
Erosion Committee by Mr. J. W. Stather, F.G.S. 
Mr. J. W. Stather, F.G.S., writes : — Glacial Beds.— Glacial depositsare 
in evidence almost everywhere on Flamborough Head, but the best sections are 
to be found on the south side near Bridlington, and in Filey Bay on the north 
side. 
Speeton Estuanine Shell Bed.— At the base of the Glacial 
deposits on Middle Cliff R.idge at Speeton, an estuarine shell bed of muddy sand 
deserves examination. It has also recently been traced along the shore towards 
Reighton Gap. 
The Sewenby Burled Cliff. — One of the most interesting sections of 
the whole coast-line occurs at the commencement of the Chalk, on the south side 
of the headland, and though obscured by slipped material, it has been better 
exposed during the early spring of this year than for many years past. It consists 
of an ancient cliff of chalk buried under glacial beds. From the deposits backed 
up against the old cliff, a large quantity of the fragmentary remains of mammals, 
fish, and birds have been obtained from time to time. 
Upper Cretaceous Beds. — With regard to the Chalk, the recent 
work done by Dr. A. W. Rowe and Mr. C. D. Sherborn has gone far towards 
working out the zonal sub-divisions (Proc. Geol. Assn., 1904), but much remains 
to be done by local observers. The authors identified the following zones in the 
cliffs on the south side of the headland, (a) Actinocamax quadratics, (b) Marsupites 
testudinarius. (c) Micraster cor-angiiimim. The fossil sponges, for which the chalk 
of Flamborough Head is celebrated, will be found most plentifully between 
Sewerby and Danes' Dyke, and the bed of Marsupites in the cliff, two or three 
hundred yards west of Danes' Dyke. No flint occurs in the chalk cliffs on the 
south side of the headland, but nodules begin to appear at High Stacks, a little 
south of the Lighthouse. From Selwicks Bay to the high cliffs of Buckton, the 
sections are made up entirely of flinty chalk (zones of Micraster cor-testicdinarium, 
Holaster planus, Terehratulina gracilis, and Rliynchonella cuvicri, according to Dr. 
Rowe). Under Buckton, the softer flintless lower chalk rises into the base of the 
cliff. The details of this portion of the Cretaceous series have been carefully 
worked out by Mr. W. Hill. 
Lower Cretaceous Beds. — The Speeton clays come out from under 
the chalk escarpment at Speeton, and form a low broken under-clifT for about a 
mile. Under favourable conditions, it is possible to trace a definite succession 
of zones, each containing fossils proper to it, and not found elsewhere. 
ARCHAEOLOGY.— Mr. Thos. Sheppard, F.G.S.. writes: 
The district is remarkable for its wealth of remains of prehistoric sites, 
There are several stone weapons found, which are cjuite peculiar to the 
Bridlington area. The so-called Danes' Dyke is one of the finest British earth- 
works in the North of England. At UUrome, a few miles to the south of 
Bridlington, Mr. T. Boynton, F.S.A., discovered lake-dwellings of the bronze 
and stone ages, which are among the most important found in Britain.
