of lava, and showing an interesting diversion of drainage owing 
to the choking of the upper valley by mounds of moraine. The 
afternoon party drove to Middleton Hall, and then walked to 
Carey Burn, where sections of the volcanic rocks were examined 
on the stream banks. At Shining Pool a fine lateral moraine, 
left by a lobe of ice which had forced its way from the north 
over the eastern spurs of Che\dot, was noted. At the time of 
this invasion from the north the valleys radiating from Cheviot 
would have their local glaciers, but were not invaded by the 
great ice-sheet. 
On Saturday, July l-ttli, the geologists drove to Langleeford, 
over a rough hill road. The programme laid out a route over 
Cheviot Hill (2,676 ft.), descending by Hen Hole, and a long 
cross-country walk to Kirknewton ; but it was agreed that a 
thorough examination of the rocks round the granite area, with 
the special design of noting its altering effect on the rocks into 
wdiich it had been intruded, was of great importance. The 
lower edge of the granite patch was accordingly carefully investi- 
gated by a party under the direction of Mr. Percy F. Kendall, 
F.G.S., whilst Mr. G. G. Butler, F.G.S., led another party to 
the top of Great Cheviot to examine the exposures of the granite 
on its sides and summit, and to investigate a patch of porphyrite 
marked on its summit. The granite was found to grow finer 
grained as the hill was ascended, and the remnants of one of 
the old lava sheets (porphyrite) was found on the north side 
of the summit. Good junction sections of the granite and newer 
dykes with the volcanic series were found by Mr. Kendall's 
party. 
The General Meeting was held at the Cottage Hotel, 
Wooler, after dinner on Saturday evening, July 15th, under the 
presidency of Mr. G. G. Butler, M.A., F.G.S., of Ewart Park, 
Wooler. Mr. J. Xorton Dickons (Bradford) and Mr. W. G. 
Stansfield (Ilkley) were elected life -members of the Society. 
After a brief address by the Chairman, Mr. J. W. Stather, 
F.G.S., of Hull, read a paper on "The Boulders in the Drift 
Deposits of the East Coast of Yorkshire." Mr. Stather briefly
