A special Public Meeting was also held, at which Professor 
F. W. Oliver, F.R.S., gave a lecture on Blakeney Point, 
illustrated by lantern slides, and the Society is fortunate in

Club, to Mr. Harmer’s beautiful grounds at Cringleford. Those 
who accepted Mr. Harmer’s kind invitation greatly enjoyed a 
ramble through his wonderful wild garden, and an inspection 
of his collection of Crag fossils. Mr. Harmer very kindly 
entertained us at tea, and gave us a practical demonstration of 
some of the geological features of the district.
