investigation of the glacial deposits on the eastern side of the 
Pennine Chain. The facts in his possession liad been growing 
rapidly, and the time seemed ripe for attempting the thorough 
elucidation of the many interesting glacial phenomena. Your 
Council felt that it was their duty to assist in such an interesting 
and important series of investigations, and, as the expense entailed 
would be considerable, they have resolved to provide Mr. Kendall 
with 6-inch contour Maps for the purpose of this detailed survey, the 
expenditure not to exceed £6, on the understanding that the results 
of the survey shall be communicated, in the first instance, to this 
Society, and that the Maps, when completed, shall be deposited in 
our Library. 
The Editors of the Proceeding much regret that, owing to un- 
foreseen difficulties, the issue of Vol. XIII., part I., w\as delayed until 
late in the Summer, instead of being issued in the Spring, as had 
been intended. They believe, however, that this delay has enabled 
them to complete their work in a more satisfactory manner than 
would otherwise have been possible, and hope that this explanation 
will be accepted by the members. A considerable amount of money 
has been expended on the illustration of this part, but they believe 
that the unusual excellence of the plates depicting the Lias Fishes 
of Whitby will fully compensate for the extra expenditure, and make 
this part of the Proceedings of world-wide value. They also believe 
that the experiment of issuing a series of photographs in place of one 
enlargement will approve itself to the members, and they desire to 
express their great indebtedness to Mr. Godfrey Bingley, of Headingley, 
for the splendid series of views of the Malham Dry Valley, which he 
generously allowed the Society to reproduce. The Council feel so 
confident tliat the issue of a series of photographs with the Proceed- 
ings will be found so much more convenient and useful to members 
than the enlargement previously issued, that they have decided to 
continue the same plan next year. Again Mr. Godfrey Bingley has 
generously placed his negatives at the disposal of the Council, and, 
availing themselves of his kindness, they have chosen a fine series of 
views of the Chalk of Flamborough Head to be issued with Vol. 
XIII., part II.
