and 11th, 1898. 
On Friday, June 10th, the members met at Clapham Station 
and proceeded by train to Ingleton. The party, led by Professor 
T. McKenny Hughes, F.R.S., went up Dale Beck, stopping to 
notice the Skirwith limestone quarry, and the blocks of Silurian 
grit scattered over the hillside. Two or three fine sections of 
the junction of the Carboniferous Limestone with the Bala beds 
were noticed by the roadside, and a visit was paid to the Ingleton 
granite quarry. Here the party was met by Mr. Jno. W. Tate, 
the manager, who courteously showed the various features of the 
workings. A rapid ascent was then made to Ravenscar, and a 
halt was called for lunch on the limestone clints. The leader 
pointed out the various beds which cropped out on the face of 
Ingleborougli, and the ascent was then made. On the summit, 
the evidences of its enclosure as a camp were pointed out. On 
the downward journey the Upper Scar Limestone under Simonside 
was examined, and a visit was paid to Gaping Ghyll Hole.
