bold cliffs and abrupt kills, the latter exhibiting rounded and 
gently sloping eminences, with deeply indented coves at intervals 
along this shore. 
The excursion landed at Flewelling’s Wharf, near Gondola 
Point, from which exploring parties went down the road and 
along the shore in search of the wild flowers that were then in 
full bloom, and other objects of interest to the naturalist. 
A lunch was served on the piazza of Dr. Matthew’s summer 
cottage, and afterward parties were organized to explore up the 
road and along the shore as far as Gondola Point. Some inter- 
esting examples of ripple marks and faults were observed in the 
red sandstone ledges along the shore, and observations made on 
the conglomerate ledges that come out on the river above Gondola 
Point. 
The parties then went back to Flewelling’s Wharf to await the 
return of the steamer Clifton which soon appeared and bore the 
party back to Indiantown, after spending a very pleasant day. 
The second field day was held at “Camp Nature’,, the summer 
observing centre of Messrs. McIntosh and Leavitt. 
For this meeting the weather was more propitious than on the 
former occasion, and the attendance larger. To reach Camp 
Nature the party had to use the C. P. R. train, which deposited 
them at a siding a short way above Nerepis station; thence a 
pleasant walk along the track, along the highway and by a path 
through the woods brought the party to a delightful little bark 
covered cabin embowered in trees, and tastefully decorated for the 
occasion. Rustic seats under the trees provided ample accommo- 
dation for the visitors, and here an acceptable lunch was spread 
for all who chose to partake. After lunch an excursion was 
organized to visit the gravel plain near by, that border the west 
side of the Nerepis river, and some fossiliferous ledges of 
Silurian rocks which Messrs. Leavitt and McIntosh had dis- 
covered at the back of this plain. 
On the return of the parties to headquarters some interest- 
ing addresses were given by the leaders on the geology of the 
neighborhood and on the trees observed in the vicinity of the 
camp. On the return, while waiting for the train that was to bear 
the party back to town, the growing darkness was taken advan-
