ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1915 
71 
Mr. Albert Gilligan proposed the following resolution : — 
That the Subscription to the Yorkshire Geological Society shall be 
10s. 6d. per annum. 
In speaking to the resolution he remarked that the present sub- 
scription of los. was larger than most societies of a like nature and that 
he was of the opinion that a reduction of the subscription to the amount 
stated would be likely to result in an increased membership. 
The resolution was seconded by Mr. A. Charlesworth and after a 
long discussion it was agreed that the matter should not be proceeded 
with at the present time, but should come up for consideration when 
times were more settled. 
The Easter Meeting was held at Slaidburn, near Clitheroe, and 
though only a small number of members attended, those who braved 
the elements w^ere well rewarded. The President, Mr. R. H. Tiddeman, 
who had been responsible for the geological survey of the area, acted 
as leader, while the presence of the late Dr. A. Vaughan in the classic 
knoll reef country acted as a stimulus to diligent collecting among the 
limestones. 
The Millstone Grit and Glacial phenomena of Bowland Knotts 
claimed some attention : the view from Knotteranum over to the 
Penines, with Clapham in the valley at the foot of Ingleboro', was 
adjudged one of the finest in Yorkshire. 
Croasdale Beck and Phynis Beck afforded magnificent sections 
in the Yoredales, but the rain, while the party were in the Croasdale 
valley, proved too much for their enthusiasm and made them seek 
shelter in a friendly farmhouse. 
At the Council Meeting held in the Philosophical Hall, Leeds, on 
Thursday, June 24th, it was resolved that day excursions within 
easy distance of Leeds should be substituted for the long week-end 
excursions which it had been customary for the Society to hold. The 
following times and places, with Leaders, were decided upon : — 
July 10th. Cracoe Leader, Professor Kendall. 
„ 24th. Feavston „ J.E.Bedford, Esq., F.G.S. 
Sept. 8th. Knostrop| 
(Leeds Sewage Works) 
„ 25th. CoNiSBRo' „ Albert Gilligan.
