Abstract
LONDON.
Geological Society, March 27.—Dr. Aubrey Strahan, F.R.S., president, in the chair.—Bernard Smith: The glaciation of the Black Combe District (Cumberland). After a brief discussion of previous work and literature, a short sketch is given of the geological structure of the district. With the exception of the western coastal plain the main topographical features are pre-Glacial, but they have been either subdued or accentuated by glaciation. The chief pre-Glacial drainage-lines determined those of the present day.—J. F. N. Green: The older Palaeozoic succession of the Duddon Estuary.
