the leadership of the Rev. E. Maule Cole, and examined the 
Calcareous Grit Beds, and the works in progress for the safe- 
guarding of the new marine drive. The 11.15 train was taken 
for Gristhorpe, a cross-country walk bringing the party to the cliffs, 
several heaps of boulders being carefully examined on the way. 
Excellent views of Filey Brigg and the Chalk cliffs from Speeton 
to Flamborough were obtained from the cliff top. A descent 
was then made to the shore and the splendid sections from 
Gristhorpe to Scarborough were carefully examined. 
The members dined together at the Pavilion Hotel, and after 
dinner the General Meeting was held under the presidency of the 
Bev. E. Maule Cole, M.A., F.G.S. Several members of the 
Scarborough Field Naturalists' Society were welcomed as visitors. 
A valuable gift from Mrs. A. H. Green, through Mr. William 
Whitaker, F.R.S., F.G.S. , of six-inch geological maps from the 
library of the late Professor Green was reported. The 
Chairman expressed warm appreciation of this kind donation, 
and the very hearty thanks of the Society were accorded to 
Mrs. Green for her useful and valuable gift. The Chairman 
then delivered an address on the Geology of Scarborough and 
district, describing in a genial and clear way the chief geological 
features of the neighbourhood, enlarging on the evidence for the 
diversion of the Derwent and other interesting problems of the 
physical geography of the East Riding. A discussion followed, 
in which the problems opened out by the consideration of river- 
diversion and the theory of river-capture, as applied to the Humber 
and its tributaries, were vigorously discussed. 
On Saturday morning another visit was made to the Castle 
Hill sections, under the leadership of Messrs. J. W. Stather, F.G.S., 
and George Lether. The 12.10 train was taken to Cloughton, 
where the party was swelled by a number of Scarborough 
naturalists. The exposure of Grey Limestone at Hundale was 
first examined, and characteristic fossils obtained. Returning to 
Cloughton, the shore route was taken to Hay burn Wyke, the 
exposures of the Millepore Beds and the Ellerbeck Bed being 
examined. The party returned to Scarborough by train.
