Wharfedale Exploration. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. 
Cud worth saying that the " finds " were in a cottage at Grassington, 
in a very unsatisfactory condition. This statement was confirmed 
by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Stubbins. The Secretary was instructed to 
write to Mr. J. R. Eddy asking him to fix a date for a Council Meeting

expenses of packing and postage.
