secretary's report, 1902. 
It is ni}^ pleasant duty to report another year of prosperity 
and useful work. 
In connection with tlie Spring Council Meeting a visit was 
arranged to the Leeds Museum, on Thursday, February 27th, 
to witness an experiment made by the Leeds Association of 
Teachers for interesting the scholars of the Leeds schools in 
the Museum. A lecture was given to 400 children of the ele- 
mentary schools, by Mr. Henry Crowther, F.R.M.S., the Curator, 
and a tour round tlie Museum was arranged to illustrate and 
enforce the lecture. 
A General Meeting was held the same evening in the Leeds 
Church Institute (Chemist's Room), by the kind permission 
of the Leeds Chemists' Association, under the presidency of 
Mr. F. W. Branson, F.I.C., in place of Dr. D. Forsyth, prevented 
from being present by illness, at which a paper was read by 
Mr. A. R. Dwerryhouse, B.Sc, F.G.S., on " The Glaciation of 
Teesdale, Weardale, and the Tyne Valley, and their Tributary 
Valleys," which was illustrated by photographs and lantern 
diagrams. The paper described a very interesting and im- 
portant addition to our knowledge of the Glacial history of 
North-east England, the complete account of which has been 
published by the Geological Society of London. After an 
interesting discussion the Hon. Secretary read a paper by Mr. 
J. R. Dakyns, M.A.. on " Notes on the Geological Phenomena 
of part of Wharf edale, near Grassington, from MS. written 
in 1878." This paper was followed by a discussion in which 
Messrs. Kendall, Howarth, and others took part, and the proceed- 
ings were concluded by a warm vote of thanks to the Chairman. 
The spring excursion was commenced under the most favour- 
able conditions of weather. The contingents from various 
parts of the countr}^ met at Goathland on Friday, April 25th, 
and proceeded to view some gravel deposits, which are supposed 
to be the remnants of an old lake beach, under the guidance of 
^Ir. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S., tlie leader of the excursion.
