EXCURSIONS. 
243 
In speaking on the address, Professor Kendall called atten- 
tion to the close connection between Geology and Archaeology, 
and thanked the President for his interesting address. 
Mr. J. W. Stather opened a discussion on certain beds of 
gravel which occur along the western foot of the Wolds, and 
whose age and relationships have not yet been determined. 
He suggested that the Society should take an early opportunity 
of visiting the South Cave district, where the various beds of 
gravel are well exposed. 
The discussion was continued by Mr. Wm. Simpson and 
Professor Kendall, who heartily supported the suggestion that 
a Field Meeting should be held at South Cave. 
On Saturday morning the members drove by the village 
of Lockton to a farmhouse near the Bride Stones. These are 
curious masses of hard calcareous sandstone which stand out 
on the hillside and form a conspicuous feature. 
From this point the party divided, the main party going 
by way of Jackdaw Griff to the \'illage of Levisham and thence 
by way of Levisham Station to Xewton. The others went 
by way of the Hole of Horcum to Xe\\i:on, where the conveyances 
were waiting to convey them back to Pickering. En route, 
the large quarries in the Corallian, close to Pickering, were 
visited, and a number of fossils were obtained. 
It is a matter of congratulation that two out of the three 
Excursions held during the current year have resulted in original 
papers on the districts visited, and it is to be hoped that in 
future districts may be chosen in which definite problems await 
solution, and that the energies of the members may, as was the 
case in the Colne and Isle of Man Excursions, be directed towards 
the elucidation of such problems.
