ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1914 
tion of Rossendale," by Dr. A. Jowett. A discussion followed each 
paper, Messrs. Stather, Fennell, Burton and Gilligan taking part. 
An excursion to the Sedburgh District was held on May 8th-12th 
under the leadership of Prof. Kendall and Mr. W. Robinson, F.G.S. 
The weather was not altogether favourable, but the members were not 
deterred, and spent a most profitable time in examining the many 
interesting features, paying particular attention to the Dent Fault in 
Taithes Gill, the Ordovician and Silurian Rocks of Helm Gill, and Helm 
Knott, with the associated igneous rocks. 
One day was spent in examining the section in Pinskey Gill and 
then walking over the moors and down Spen Gill. 
The second meeting was held at Hathersage on July 2nd-6th, under 
the leadership of Prof. Fearnsides. A most interesting programme 
had been arranged including the Derwent Valley Waterworks, where 
opportunities were afforded of examining folding in weak strata at the 
bottom of the valleys, whose sides are seriously affected by landslips. 
During other excursions, the palaeontologist and petrologist found ample 
work, the former in the Carboniferous Limestone and Shale at the 
quarry between Pindale and Meadow House and other points, and the 
latter in the many fine exposures of Millstone Grit of the district and 
the volcanic rocks associated with the limestone. An evening meeting 
was held in the George Hotel, Hathersage, on Saturday, July 4th, the 
chair being taken by Mr. Cosmi Johns, when a discussion was opened 
by the Chairman on " Some Geological Problems of the Sheffield 
District,"' dealing especially with the climatic conditions of the area 
during Carboniferous and Permian times, and difficulties in correlating 
the glacial deposits of the district with the typical sections on the 
Yorkshire coast. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Professor 
Fearnsides for leading the excursion brought the meeting to a close. 
The Annual General Meeting was held in the Philosophical Hall, 
Leeds, on Wednesday, Nov. 18th, under the Presidency of R. H. 
Tiddeman, Esq., M.A., F.G.S. , when the various officers were elected 
as recommended by the council and submitted to all members on 
separate leaflet at the time of the meeting. 
Mr. M. Odling, M.A., B.Sc, F.G.S., then read a paper on " Some 
Unconformities in the L'pper Jurassics," in which he mentioned 
observations which he had made in the South of England and the
