secretary's report. 
Ill 
indispensable to those who pursue the subject in the future. Your 
Secretary is the recorder of the Committee, and he desires to impress 
on the members of this Society the advisability of their preparing 
lists of pre-historic objects found in their own neighbourhood with a 
record of the locality. 
During the past year the investigation of the Cave at Elbolton, 
near Skipton, has been proceeded with, and a report of the work done 
will be found on another page. A further grant of £25 has been 
made. 
Another Committee of the British Association in which this 
Society is much interested is that for the Collection, Preservation, 
and Systematic Registration of Photographs of Geological Interest. 
Mr. Jas. E. Bedford is the Secretary, and has taken active interest 
in the work. 
The Balance Sheet is appended, from which it will be observed 
that the financial position of the Society is sound. It is, however, 
very important that Members who have not paid their subscriptions 
should do so. In a Society whose Members extend over so wide an 
area as the County of York, it is impossible to make a personal 
appeal to every one, and the consequence is that many Members 
must necessarily be expected to forward their subscriptions by post. 
It is urged that they should be kind enough to do so during the 
early part of each current financial year. 
A Photograph illustrating the junction of the Carboniferous 
Rocks with the Permian Sandstone at Knaresboro' will be issued 
with the Proceedings for the current year. The negative has been 
kindly provided by G. Bingley, Esquire, President of the Leeds 
Photographic Society, to whom the Society tenders its thanks.
