forth the warmest eulogiums of the leading members of the 
Yorkshire Agricultural Society, and have mainly led to their 
making the proposal which the Council now wish to receive 
the careful consideration of the Society. 
It is proposed then that a joint meeting of the two Societies 
should be held once a year, — that at this meeting papers 
should be read on the application of geology to agriculture — 
and that the reading should be followed by discussions. 
The Council, believing that such a meetinor would be 
productive of very beneficial results, recommend that the 
Society should hold a Special Meeting at Hull in August, 
and it will then be seen whether the result of that experiment 
will be such as to induce both Societies to wish for its con- 
tinuance in future years. 
Mr. Embleton then moved " That a Special Meeting of 
the Society be held at Hull, on Tuesday, the 3rd of August 
next, concurrently with the Meeting of the Yorkshire Agri- 
cultural Society." In moving this resolution Mr. Embleton 
said he thought it right to state, that the Agricultural Society 
had expressed its willingness to give to the members of the 
Geological Society every accommodation they might desire. 
He thought it was for the interests of the two Societies that 
they should meet together. The connection between them was 
very intimate, for this Society would not only be able to point 
out to them the exact local geological position of the various 
soils, but the particular kind of manures applicable to them, 
so as to secure a proper treatment of the land ; and the 
Agricultural Society, in return, would no doubt be quite 
willing to afford them whatever information would tend to 
promote the prosperity and usefulness of this Society. 
Mr. Hartop seconded the motion, which, like all the sub- 
sequent ones, was carried unanimously. 
The following were the other resolutions adopted : —
