BRITISH ASSOCIATION MEETING AT DOVER. 
belongs to the underground fauna. I was able to say that we had 
already had specimens of the Well-Shrimp brought to our notice by 
our member, Dr. Harmer, of Cambridge. 
In moving or seconding a vote of thanks, I expressed a hope 
that the pruning-knife should not be used on the paper before 
publication, so as to take out all the author’s charming banter, but 
that, if possible, it should be published in extenso. This was 
evidently the general feeling of the meeting, and it was carried 
accordingly. 
On Thursday afternoon there was a very charming Garden Party 
in the College Grounds, where, among other attractions, the 
preparations for a balloon ascent could be watched without the 
usual crowding. 
On Thursday evening the Mayor, Sir W. H. Crundall, gave 
a conversazione at the Town Hall, which was a very grand affair. 
The building had been most elegantly arranged. There was plenty 
of music ; and messages were sent, or supposed to be sent, across 
the Channel to France by the wireless telegraphy, the arrangement 
of the wire, carried to the top of a light and not very lofty flag-staff 
for connection with the atmosphere, seemed to be extremely simple • 
but the transmitter was a very powerful battery, making a very 
large spark at each impact ; and the receiver was, to my mind, not 
working satisfactorily, in fact, during the several times I looked at 
them I could not be quite sure that they were really sending or 
receiving messages at all, though they were distributing slips 
printed in the Morse alphabet. 
On Friday morning I again attended the geological section, when 
some most beautiful photographs of minute fossils from the chalk 
were shown by means of a lantern. They were by Dr. A. W. Rose. 
Then there were two papers by Dr. G. Abbott, who laboured to 
show that flint might have been formed in the chalk after the latter 
was raised above sea-level by the infiltration of fresh water, but 
1 do not think very successfully. Then we had two papers on 
“Glaciation in East Anglesea.” Then a very good paper on 
“ Extra-Morainic Drainage in Yorkshire,” showing what the ice- 
melting did there, illustrated by a large number of photos shown 
by the lantern, many of them beautifully done. This was by 
Mr. P. F. Kendall. 
Then another good paper by Mr. J. Lomas on “ Lateral Moraines 
and Rock Trains,” also illustrated by good photos shown by the
