section in the upturned beds of the Great Scar Limestone, which 
are upHfted vertically by a branch of the great Dent Fault. 
A walk along the steep slope of Nor Gill showed the upturned 
and broken limestones in fine sections. The western slopes of 
Baugh Fell were then traversed to Taithes Gill, where a remark- 
able series of exposures were examined, showing the Yoredale 
beds bent and faulted. The underlying beds of the Coniston 
Limestone series were penetrated by sills and dykes of mica- 
trap and felsite. A protracted rain storm prevented the ascent 
of Bluecaster to see the boss of diabase. 
At the General Meeting, held at the White Hart Hotel, 
one member was elected. A resolution was passed expressing 
sincere sympathy with the Rev. John Hawell, M.A., F.G.S., 
in his severe illness, and earnest hope for his speedy recovery. 
The President, Mr. Arthur R. Dwerryhouse, M.Sc, F.G.S., 
then gave an address on the " Geology of Sedbergh and District, ' 
during which Mr. A. H. Pawson, President of the Yorkshire 
Naturalists' Union, occupied the chair. The lecturer said that 
the district was naturally divided into three divisions : — L East, 
Carboniferous Limestone and Yoredale beds, underlaid by 
Silurians, which were exposed in valley sections. 2. Central 
area, between the Dent Fault and a parallel fault, consisting of 
the Coniston grits and flags, with Carboniferous rocks lying on 
them unconformably. 3. Western, consisting of Kirkby Moor 
flags, with a mass of Carboniferous Conglomerate overlying 
them. The Dent Fault is one of a series of faults, continuing 
the great Pennine Fault, which had a pre- as well as a post- 
Carboniferous movement, and the same may be true of the 
Dent Fault. It is probable that there were further movements 
between Carboniferous and Permian times, and also during the 
Permian period, Professor P. F. Kendall having shown this 
by referring to the pebbles of the two beds of Brockram in the 
Vale of Eden. The lower Brockram contains Carboniferous 
Limestone pebbles, but none from the underlying beds, but in 
the upper Brockram there are pebbles of quartzite from the 
Basement Carboniferous beds, and of Borrowdale volcanic 
rocks. The Dent Fault is a thrust fault. The Silurians of 
Howgill Fells are folded along axes east and west, so that it
