bed rock. This effectually disposed of a recently made assertion 
that the Norber boulders had not been lifted by the Crummack 
glacier. 
The party continued up Crummack Dale to Beck Head, where 
a good supply of ice-cold water comes out of two small cave 
openings. Here an interesting double unconformity was examined. 
The Bala beds upturned are overlaid b}^ a Silurian conglomerate, 
and over these uncomfortable strata the Mountain Limestone 
comes in horizontal sheets. The exposure of Moughton Whet- 
stones under the shoulder of Moughton was examined, and then, 
after a photographic group had been taken by Mr. Godfrey 
Bingley, a return was made to Wharfe, near which the zone of 
Phacojjs elegans, and the underlying conglomerate at the base of 
the Silurian were examined. A rapid walk brought the party 
back to Clapham, where they dined together, and then separated 
with congratulations on two excellent days' work. 
The second general meeting was held on Friday, July 15th, 
at Mai ton, and was associated with a two-days' field excursion 
over the country between Malton and the Wolds. 
On Friday, July 15th, the party travelled to Burdale Station, 
where they were met by the Rev. E. Maule Cole, M.A., the 
leader, and Mr. J. R. Mortimer. Just outside Burdale Station 
the position of the Red Chalk w^as pointed out, showing that 
the chalk had been cut through to its base. Fairy Dale was 
ascended, and the interesting Fairy Stones which stand at its 
head were examined. These are composed of a breccia of chalk 
and flints firmly cemented together, and the leader pointed out 
evidence that a similar rock extends for some distance in a 
straight line, and explained the peculiar conditions observed as 
due to a fissure in the chalk which had been filled in by flints 
and chalk fragments and then consolidated by the deposition of 
a firm calcareous cement. The route thence was over the tunnel 
top above Raisthorpe, to see some curious hollows in the chalk, 
which may have been caused by earth movements analogous 
to landslips, as they lie fairly parallel to the adjacent valley. 
Back Dale was then gained and the series of landslips along
