Abstract
THE head-quarters of the Association were fixed at Bournemouth. A large number of members arrived before Easter, and were able to explore the freshwater series to the west of Bournemouth, which could not be visited on the excursion. An excavation into the leaf-beds having been opened a few days previously by Mr. Gardner, Prof. Morris, Dr. Henry Woodward, Prof. Corfield, and Mr. Birch, a number of fine leaves were obtained, and Dr. John Evans, Prof. McKenna Hughes, Mr. Warrington Smyth, Prof. Bonney, and many others, were enabled to see the leaves in situ and the method of work.
