of the ice-front stream. The spectacle of this oxbow, the intake 
of \\hich is 50 feet above the floor of Moss Swang, the upper 
part of Randay Mere, is very striking. The entrance to Moss 
Swang is about 400 feet above the floor of Eskdale. 
The party returned by road to Grosmont Station, and 
dined together at the Crown Hotel. 
After dinner the General Meeting was held under the presi- 
dency of Mr. Wm. Whitaker, B.A., F.R.S., F.G.S. 
The Chairman spoke of the interest which Professor Kendall's 
Cleveland work had aroused in London, and the great value to 
geological science of his results. 
Mr. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S. , then read Part I. of his paper 
on ''The Glacier Lake System of the Cleveland Hills." He 
said he commenced his investigations by an effort to explain 
the gorge of the Nidd. He was urged by Professor W. M. Davis 
(Harvard) to study the dry gorges, and the history of the Glacial 
Period would come out of them. Following up this advice 
he studied the peculiar character of the Yorkshire rivers. He 
found there were three distinct ice-streams to consider : one 
from the Solway along the Vale of Eden, and over Stainmoor, 
which could be traced step by step by its erratics all down Tees- 
dale, the Yorkshire coast, and East Lincolnshire. Secondly, a 
great glacier flowing along the Tweed valley, round the Cheviots, 
and into Northumberland, but the definite train of its erratics 
is lost south of the Tyne. Then there was the Scandinavian ice, 
the boulders of which are found as far south as Norfolk. Mr. 
Kendall detailed the evidence on which he based his conclu- 
sions. His remarks were illustrated by an elaborate series 
of coloured contour maps, which had entailed a tremendous 
amount of labour, and served to make his explanations admirably 
clear. This interesting paper was followed by a discussion, 
in which the Rev. J. HawelL Mr. J. E. Wilson, the Chairman, 
the Rev. W. L. Carter, and Mr. Sewell took part. 
On Saturday morning the party paid a visit to the jMuseum 
at Whitby, and then took the 10.5 train to Danby. On leaving
