MINUTES. 
An animated and interesting discussion took place on the 
points raised by the several papers. 
On Thursday, the second day of the excursion, the members 
took train from Driffield to Wetwang, where wagon arrangements 
had been made by Mr. Wilberfoss, of Wetwang, for their convey- 
ance to Huggate, a distance of four and a-half miles. There, 
under the guidance of the Rev. E. Maule Cole, M.A., and Mr. J. R. 
Mortimer, of Driffield, Huggate Dykes and Millington Dale were 
visited, and the scenery of these and other extensive dales, marvellous, 
in their development and striking in their effect, were as thoroughly 
enjoyed as on the previous day. At the Dykes luncheon was 
provided by the Rev. G. P. Keogh, M.A., who, in responding to 
the vote of thanks for his kindness, expressed a hope that members 
of the Association would on their return tell their West Yorkshire 
friends, in the words of Scripture, that " the barbarous people 
showed us no little kindness." After an examination of the red 
chalk at Millington Springs, the party proceeded to Warter, where 
some extensive views of the Plain of York were obtained. A 
short stay of an hospitable nature took place here, and then a 
well-exposed section of red chalk and lias was visited in Warter 
brickyard. From hence the members walked to Pocklington.

The thanks of the Society are due, and are hereby given to 
Miss French and Messrs. Greenshaw and Riccall, of Warter, for 
their kind assistance on the occasion of the visit of the Society, and 
also to the Rev. Mr. Chilman, of Wharram. 
Annual Meeting at Skipton. 
The members met at Cononley at 1 p.m., and walked to Ray gill 
Quarries. The Cononley Lead Mines were visited, under the 
guidance of J. Ray Eddy, Esq., F.G.S., who explained the method 
of mining, and also of obtaining the lead from the ore.
