The members will meet at Headquarters at 7-30 p.m., when short papers 
will be read as follows : — 
1. Notes on Marine Zoology. Rev. F H. Woods. 
2. Early History of Filey. The President. 
3. Notes on Geology of the District. Mr. J. W. Stather. 
4. Some Problems of Shore Plants. Dr. T. W. Woodhead. 
MONDAY. All parties meet outside Filey Station at 10-30 a.m. The 
Geologists will proceed to the foot of the Brig, then on cliffs to Gristhorpe Bay. 
Descend to beach, and walk round Yons Nab into Cay ton Bay. 
The Botanists and general body of Naturalists under the guidance of Mr. J. 
Fraser Robinson, will examine the cliffs and intersecting ravines to the south, in 
the direction of Hunmanby. 
Late arrivals should follow the routes specified, and in order to assist a notice 
will be put up at Headquarters indicating as far as possible the route intended to 
be traversed. 
GEOLOGY. — The Geological Section will be officially represented by 
one of Its Secretaries, Mr. John Holmes, and Mr. J. W. Staiher, (Secretary 
of the Glacial and Coast Erosion Committees). 
Mr. J. W. Stather, writes: — The Geology of the Filey district is extremely 
varied and attractive. The town is situated on Glacial beds at least 100 feet 
thick, containing many boulders and pebbles from widely separated sources. On 
the coast, a few miles to the south, are the famous Bempton and Speeton cliffs, 
where an unparalleled series of Lower and Upper Cretaceous I^ocks can be ex- 
amined. North of the town, the Carr Naze and Brig are very fine sections of the 
Middle Oolite and of the Boulder Clays above them. The Brig is easily access- 
ible along the shore, and some of the beds, which belong to the upper part of the 
Section of Cliffs between Filey and Cayton Bay. 
Lower Calcarious Grit, are very fossililerous. On the north side of the Naze is 
a series of curious coves, locally called the " Doodles," showing the peculiar 
vagaries of marine denudation. Above the " Doodles " the upper layers of the 
Oolite have in many places been crushed and contorted by the North Sea ice, 
and glacial stride are traceable on the ledges of rock at the base of the Boulder 
Clays. From Carr Naze, northwards, the Oolites gradually rise in the cliffs so that 
at Cunstan Nab, at the south end of Gristhorpe Bay, where the cliff is 250 feet 
high, the whole thickness of the Oxford Clay and Lower Calcarious Grit is 
exposed, surmounted by thick Boulder Clays. In Gristhorpe Bay itself is an 
almost complete section of the Lower and Middle Oolites, including the beds 
from the Lower Calcarious Grit to the Millepore bed, and at Yons Nab at the 
north end of the Bay occurs the celebrated Gristhorpe plant bed. North of Yons 
Nab is Cayton Bay, and the magnificent Red Cliff sections and Fault. On the 
beach under Red Cliff is the Cornbrash, which is usually accessible. 
BOTANY.— The Botanical Section will be officially represented by 
one of its Secretaries, Mr. J. Fraser Robinson, and Dr. T. W. Woodhead. 
Flowering Plants. — Mr. J. Fraser Robinson, Author of " The Flora 
of the East Riding of Yorkshire," writes: — Although much attention has been 
paid already to the flora of the Filey district by the Y N.U., yet it is not known 
that any very complete list of plants has been m^de, preserved or published. 
Such a list is a distinct desideratum which should be kept in mind, especially 
with regard to the maritime phanerogams as well as of the plants of the more 
inland localities. The cliff tops to the south of Filey, and the slipped boulder 
clay forming a kind of " undercliff," on which there is a series of freshwater 
pools and other wet places, form a very good field for botanical investigation. 
Several little ravines intersect the pathway along the cliffs above mentioned, and 
in these will be found quite a number of good things, probably most of them in 
flower at this season. These are Gefunium sanguineum, Rosa ptmpinellijolia, Spir^a 
Filipendula, Eupatorium cannabinum , Serratula tinctoria and Slackys Betonica, Anugallis 
tenella, scarcely yet in flower, perhaps, is common in many wet places of the" under-
