Trigonia, a large Cuculloea, a very large Lima, Astarte, and 
Belemnites lateralis, the last-named being the zone fossil. A visit 
was also paid to a large boulder of porphyry at Benniworth, 
and another interesting boulder, full of fossils, was found 
before the party reached South Willingham station for the 
return journey. The Kimmeridge Clay at Wilhngham was also 
examined. 
On Monday evening, April 26th, an exhibition of local 
fossils and boulders was held in the Louth Municipal Technical 
School by kind permission of the Mayor, and here also was 
held the General Meeting of the Yorkshire Geological and 
Polytechnic Society, Mr. John W. Stather, F.G.S., of Hull, 
presiding. Two new members, Messrs. G. W. B. Macturk (Hull) 
and J. H. Milton, F.R.G.S. (Crosby) were elected. The York- 
shire Geologists were warmly welcomed by His Worship the 
Mayor of Louth (Alderman Henry D. Simpson), and Mr. Stather 
suitably responded on behaK of the Yorkshire Society. The 
Rev. W. Lower Carter exhibited six-inch maps of the Lincolnshire 
Wolds, showing the dry valleys, and large diagrams to illustrate 
his views of the positions of the ice-front at the period when 
they were formed, and the areas of the impounded glacier-lakes 
of which these channels are supposed to be the overflows. 
Professor Kendall then gave an address on " The Glacial 
Geology of the Lincolnshire Wolds." 
He said that the work was only in a preliminary stage^ 
and it would take perhaps another year or longer to work out 
the extremely interesting problems of the glaciation of Lincoln- 
shire, upon which dia,metrically opposing opinions heA been 
expressed. There was, however, a general agreement that there 
is good evidence here regarding the altitude at which the land 
stood at the beginning of the Glacial Period. At Louth we are 
almost on the extreme edge of the pre-glacial sea, and all the 
broad band between Louth and the sea consists of materials 
laid down upon the old pre-glacial sea floor and banked against 
the old line of cliffs. But there was a much more complicated 
problem in the deep pre-glacial drift-filled valleys inland. He 
thought the evidence conclusive that the glacial deposits of 
Lincolnshire were the products of land-ice and not of floe-ice.
