Professor Kendall then proposed the health of the visitors, 
which was responded to by Mr. Carruthers, of H.M. Geological 
Survey, and Mr. Whitehead, Secretary of the Liverpool Geological 
Society. 
The toast of "The President^' (Mr. Cosmo Johns, F.G.S.) 
was then duty honoured on the proposition of Mr. J. Lomas. 
On Monday morning work was resumed, the members 
travelling by train to Earby. 
The limestones and shales of the Pendleside Series were 
examined in the Salterforth Cutting, and gave rise to considerable 
difference of opinion. 
This series lies immediately below the Millstone Grit in the 
district to the south of the Great Craven Faults, but is absent 
from the fells to the north of the faults, e.g., Ingleborough and 
Fountain's Fell. 
The Barnoldswick Fault was then traveresd, and it was 
seen that the Millstone Grit Series was here thrown down against 
the Carboniferous Limestone group. 
This fault runs for a distance of about nine miles in an 
approximately north-west to south-east direction, the down- 
throw being to the south-west. 
Another exposure of the Pendlesides was seen at Weets, 
where the series dips beneath the Pendle Grit. It is necessary 
to distinguish clearly between the Pendle Grit, which locally 
forms the base of the Millstone Grit, and the Pendleside Grit, 
which is at a lower horizon and belongs to the lower group, now 
known as the Pendleside Series. 
A walk of a little more than a mile over the Mllstone Grit 
Fells brought the party to the Moorcock Inn. 
In the afternoon the party descended Admergill Brook, 
where an interesting section of Boulder Clay was examined. 
This contained, in addition to many fragments of the local 
grits, well- scratched pebbles of limestone, which must have 
been derived from the north side of the watershed, together with 
a Silurian Grit boulder, probably from Ribblesdale or Crummack. 
Turning up Pendle Water, which in this part of its course 
flows along the strike of the beds, fine exposures of the fossiliferous 
Sabden Shales were met with.
