the leader of the excursions. 
On Tuesday the party went by train to Scarborough, and 
drove to the racecourse, examining the moraine on Seamer Moor, 
which marks the maximum extension of the ice in this region. 
On the way to West Ay ton the dry valleys which carried the 
drainage from the ice-front were examined. From West Ay ton 
to Wykeham the journey was continued along the remarkable 
gravel terrace which fringes the Corallian hills, and is now re- 
garded as an elongated delta laid down between the hills and the 
ice-margin by streams flowing from the ice-free country to the 
north, joined to a greater overflow, the Forge Valley, from the 
whole country from Iburndale southward to Hackness. At 
Wykeliam the fragmentary terminal moraine laid down at 
maximum ice-extension was examined, as well as a series of 
channels running over the gravel terrace. The return drive 
was taken by way of Forge Valley, the New Cut, and a series of 
overflow channels at Tliroxenby Mere, and the members separated 
after passing a tlioroughly hearty and unanimous vote of thanks 
to Mr. Kendall for the enjoyable and instructive excursion 
which they had been privileged to make under his leadership.

held at Melrose, under the presidency of Mr. James H. Howarth. 
F.G.S., for the examination of the rocks of the south-east of 
Scotland adjoining the English border, which might give rise 
to conspicuous glacial boulders. The members assembled at 
Melrose on Wednesday, July 9th, on the advice of Mr. B. N. 
Peach, of the Geological Survey of Scotland, who kindly wrote 
a series of notes on the igneous rocks of the district for the 
guidance of the party (see page 154). 
Thursday, July 10th, was occupied with a visit to Jedburgh. 
After examining a section of Old Red Sandstone overlying 
Greywacke Grits near the station, the party went to Lanton 
Hill, where a mass of agglomerate associated with^ an extensive 
extrusion of dolerite was examined, and subsequently the dolerite 
boss of Dunian Hill was visited. The latter is worked for road
