REPORT OF THE HONORARY SECRETARIES, 1910. 
The work of the Society continues to develop successfully, 
and the membership shows that Yorkshire geologists give vigorous 
support to their County Society. 
During the year, nine new members have been elected. We 
have suffered several deeply regretted losses by death. Sir Charles 
Strickland, Bart., elected in 1879, died at the ripe age of 90 years. 
Mr. C. Fox-Strangways, a weU-knowTi member of H.M. Geological 
Survey, wiU long be remembered hy Yorkshire geologists for his 
thorough work on the formations of Central and Eastern York- 
shire. He had been a member since 1879, and was engaged on a 
BibUography of Yorkshire Geology, at the time of his death. 
Another well-known member of the Geological Survey, who passed 
away suddenly on September 27th, was Mr. John R. DakjTis, who 
did important survey work in Yorkshire and the neighbouring 
counties for 22 years. He joined our Society in 1879 and con- 
tributed several papers to our Proceedings. We also regretfully 
drop the names of G. W. Haldane, F. Whiteley, John PoUard, and 
Abraham Crossley, who have for years given their valued support 
to our Society. In addition to these removals by death, there 
have been eleven resignations, leaving the membership at the 
total of 213. 
The General Meetings and Field Excursions have been carried 
out under favourable climatic conditions, and were full of 
geological interest. 
The Spring Meeting was held at Leeds on March 4th, in the 
Geological Department of the University, by the kind permission 
of our President (Prof. P. F. KendaU) and the Vice-Chancellor. 
A paper by Dr. Wheelton Hind "On four new Carboniferous 
Nautiloids and a Goniatite new to Great Britain" was read, in the 
absence of the author, by Mr. A. GiUigan. Mr. Frank White's 
paper on " The Igneous Rocks of the Isle of Man," was summarized 
by the President, in the absence of the author, and Mr. Cosmo 
Johns gave a paper on " The Basement Beds of the Lower Car- 
boniferous Rocks of N.W. Yorkshire." Each of these papers 
was followed by an interesting discussion, and the meeting con- 
cluded with a vote of thanks to the readers of the papers, to the 
authorities of the University, to Professor KendaU for the
