SECRETARIES REPORT.

The Autumn General Meeting and Field Excursion was held 
from September 24th to 28th, in Xorth-east Yorkshire, with 
Saltburn as centre, under the leadership of Professor P. F. 
Kendall and Mr. J. W. Stather. At the General Meeting, under 
the chairmanship of Mr. J. W. Stather, F.G.S., in place of Dr. 
W. Y. Veitch, who unfortunately was prevented from attending 
by indisposition, a paper was read by ^Ir. Frank Elgee, of 
Middlesbrough, on " The Glaciation of Xorth Cleveland." 
At the close of the year the Hon. Librarian was able to 
report that further consignments of books belonging to our 
library liad been received from Mr. Crowther, the Curator of the 
Philosophical Hall, and it was hoped that before long many 
more of the gaps in the series of Transactions would be filled 
up. It had not been thought desirable to commence the Catalogue 
at present, but it was hoped that it would be able to be undertaken 
in the near future. 
The Council recommend the following as the localities for 
the General Meetings and Field Excursions for 1909 
1. — The usual Spring Meeting in Leeds. 
2. — A long Excursion at Easter to Kirby Lonsdale. 
3. — A short Excursion in June to Cloughton Wyke. 
4. — An Excursion to Gainsborough and Scunthorpe in 
September to examine the Rhaetics and Lias. 
The Proceedings, Vol. XVI., Part II., was issued at the end 
of 1907, and it is hoped that Part III. will be in the hands of 
the m.embers before the end of the year.
