70 LAMPLUGH: GLACIATION IN VANCOUVER ISLAND. 
parallel with the length of the glacier, and I pressed on alone to 
the ci-est of one of these which was not far ahead of us. Looking 
forward from this point, though the ice seemed to become more and 
more rugged, I still could not see any open crevasses, and think it 
might have been possible to cross the glacier, 
Here, in the midst of beautifully clear ice, far away from any 
trace of moraine, I noticed some curious reddish-yellow stains, and 
in looking for the cause, found in one place a clayey -looking' mass of 
gritty matter of the colour of rusted iron. I brought part of this 
away with me, and think it may possibly be the remains of a 
decomposed meteorite. Some of the matter is now in the hands of 
Mr. T. Davis of the British Museum, who has promised to examine it. 
We then hurriedly, and for my own part very reluctantly, 
returned to the ship, having probably gone as far on the ice as any 
of our predecessors. 
This is the first glacier I have visited, and I brought away the 
impression that on the whole it was easier to give explanations of 
glacial phenomena before I had seen ice. Perhaps, if I could have 
spent weeks instead of hours there my opinion might have been 
different. 
NOTES ON THE YOREDALE POLYZOA OF NORTH LANCASHIRE. 
BY GEORGE ROBERT VINE. 
I have already, in three sepaiate papers,* laid before the 
Yorkshire Geological Society, notes on the Carboniferous Polyzoa 
of Derbyshire and Yorkshire. I have now to draw the attention 
of members to remarks on Polyzoa found in the neighbourhood of 
Furness x\bbey, said to belong to rocks of Yoredale age. Before, 
however, I give a description of the species, it may be well to offer 
a few remarks on the Palasontology of the Yoredale rocks, and also to 
give some account as to how the material about to be described came 
into my possession. 
In 1884, Mr. James W. Kirkby, F.G.S., sent me a sample of 
Polyzoa pickings from some Carboniferous shale washiijgs which he
