Dr. Tempest Anderson, the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, the 
Glacialists' Association, and the Yorkshire Geological and Polytechnic 
Society were proposed. After dinner the Meeting was resumed in 
the Coffee Room of the North Eastern Hotel, under the presidency 
of Rev. E. Manle Cole. Mr. J. Spink, of Pickering, exhibited, on 
behalf of Major Jas. ^litchelson, a collection of animal remains and 
pottery found in a lake-dwelling at Pickering, and gave an account 
of the discovery of the "finds." Mr. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S., 
exhibited a series of lantern slides, kindly lent by Dr. Wright, to 
illustrate features of American glacial geology, and especially dealing 
with the great Muir Glacier of Alaska. 
On Saturday, April 27th, the party proceeded by train to Holtby, 
where a careful examination of a cutting in the Nortli-Eastern and 
Midland Railway was made. This cutting passes transversely 
through the northern, or York, moraine, and shows a good section of 
boulder-clay, in which the members found Shap granite, Scottish 
granites, Brockram, Carboniferous rocks, and Trias marls with pseudo- 
morphs of rock salt and gypsum. The road was then taken to 
Stamford Bridge, where a short halt was made for lunch. High 
Carlton was the next locality visited. Here a gravel pit in the 
southerly, or Escrick, moraine was examined. It showed beds of 
coarse and fine gravel and sand, containing Brockram and Carbon- 
iferous rocks. The ridge was then ascended and a good view 
obtained of the lie of the two crescentic moraines. On the return 
journey the southerly moraine was crossed again, showing gravelly 
deposits in the middle and boulder-clay, with a little sand, plastering 
the flanks of the moraine. A little further on chalky gravels were 
found in a held near the High Catton Railway Bridge. The party 
returned to York by waggonette from Stamford Bridge, and dined 
together at the North Eastern Hotel. Before dinner there was a 
meeting of the Glacialists' Association, at which the members of the 
Yorkshire Geological Society were present by invitation. An 
interesting paper on " The Glaciation of the Faeroes," by Dr. Karl 
Grossman and J. Lomas, A.R.C.S., was read by Dr. Grossman, and 
illustrated by a remarkable series of lantern slides taken during their 
journey.
