Present : — Messrs. S. W. Cuttriss. W. Ackroyd. ¥. \V. 
Branson, P. Y. Kendall. F. Y. Walton, G. Bingley, A. R. Dwerry-

The minutes of the preceding Committee Meeting were read 
and confirmed. 
Mr. A. R. Dwerryhouse. Secretary to the B.A. Committee. 
rei)orted on the work done during the summer in investigating 
and surveying Long Churn and the springs on the slopes of 
Simon's Fell. Fluorescein had been again put into the Shooting 
Box stream, but no results had been seen at any spring. The 
course of several streams to the north of the Shooting Box. 
and a crossing of an upper and lower line of drainage, had been 
determined by means of fluorescein. The connection of Alum 
Pot with Turn Dub had been established, but the borings at 
Turn Dub had not been successful. About eight or ten feet 
of alluvium had been pierced, and then boulder clay was reached, 
which, being crowded with stones, could not be pierced with 
the apparatus used. 
He reported that the Belfast Meeting of the British Asso- 
ciation had granted £40 for the completion of the investigations. 
The work to be undertaken during the next year was then 
considered. It was decided to investigate thoroughly the 
Shooting Box stream. Long Kin West, Moses' Spring, and Grey 
Wife Sike. Also that one or- two bore-holes should be put down 
near Turn Dub by a well-sinker, at an expense not exceeding £25. 
Resolved also that the underground survey of the passages 
to the west of Long Churn should be undertaken, and that Mr. 
Theodore Ashley be invited to undertake this work. 
Mr. S. W. Cuttriss gave some interesting facts about a recent 
descent of Alum Pot by the Yorkshire Ramblers' Club, exhi- 
bited a plan of the Pot. and gave details of the beds of limestone 
observed in the descent.
