sun-cracks and rain pittings, and in another with ripple-marked 
surfaces. The sandstone in which the various impressions 
occur is strongly current-bedded and was therefore probably- 
deposited in shallow water. Some of the layers also contained 
fossil coniferous plants. 
The sandstone belongs to the Lower Estuarine Series which 
immediately overlies the Dogger, the footprint bed being about 
70 feet above that formation. 
The members returned to Saltburn by train in time for the 
General Meeting, which was held in the evening at the Queen 
Hotel. 
In the unavoidable absence of Mr. W. Y. Veitch, the chair 
was taken by Mr. J. W. Stather, F.G.S. 
The following gentlemen were unanimously elected members 
of the Society : — 
Mr. Frank Elgee, Middlesbrough ; 
Mr. Foster, Doncaster ; and 
Mr. E. H. Chapman, London and Whitby. 
Mr. Elgee read a paper on " The Glaciation of North Cleve- 
land," in which he dealt with certain valleys produced by the 
overflow of glacial lakes during the retreat of the ice. The 
paper was followed by a discussion (see pp. 372-382). 
The Chairman then called upon Dr. Dwerryhouse to give 
a brief resume of the work done during the excursion. 
Mr. Simpson proposed and Mr. Bingley seconded a vote of 
thanks to the owners of property traversed during the excursions 
for the facilities which they had granted, to the leaders of the 
excursions, and to Mr. Elgee for his interesting paper. 
On the 27th some of the members walked along the beach 
by the foot of Hunt Cliff to examine the Middle Lias, and pro- 
ceeded to the Skinningrove Iron Works, where, by kind per- 
mission of Mr. Hutchinson, they were conducted over the premises. 
Here specimens of the various ores in use were examined, and 
the members returned by the cliff top to Saltburn, examining 
some exposures of the main seam ironstone en route. 
On Monday morning an excursion was made along the 
North Beach at Saltburn for the purpose of examining the 
cliffs of Boulder Clay between Saltburn and Marske.
