GREEN (Chairman), Mr. JAMES PARKER (Secretary), the EARL of DUCIE, Professor E. RAY LANKESTER, and Professor H. G. SEELEY, appointed to examine the Ground from which the Remains of the Cetiosaurus in the Oxford Museum were obtained, with a View to determining whether other parts of the same Animal remain in the Rock. THE Committee have to report that from unavoidable circumstances no satisfactory conclusion has as yet been arrived at. During the Easter vacation, when excavations might have been made, their Chairman, Professor A. H. Green, was prevented by illness from taking any active part, and therefore no orders could be given for actual operations in the way of digging. Several visits, however, have been made to the spot and information obtained; and, further, full permission has been obtained from Lord Valentia, the owner of the land, to make such excavations as are required, and co-operation from his agent has also been promised. The quarry where the bones were found is in a slope facing the north, and to the south of the spot where it has been ascertained they lay, further excavations would be attended with much difficulty, as the ground rises rapidly some 20 feet and is surmounted by a wall, on the other side of which there is a high road, and excavations might endanger its stability. On the western side, where it was thought most advisable to excavate, it was at the last moment discovered that some two or three years previously some excavations had been undertaken with the same object, but without success, and then filled up again. As to reopening and extending these, a decision cannot be come to till further particulars as to what was done are obtained and the men found who were employed. On the eastern side there is perhaps more chance of success, but the ground here also has at some time been evidently much broken up. Meanwhile, however, the opening of a quarry about 350 yards to the south has disclosed the circumstances that the sandy bed, which contained the bones of the Cetiosaurus and which also contains much carbonaceous matter, is continued in this direction. The pit where the bones were found is on the northern edge of a promontory round which the Cherwell river runs, and the quarry lately opened is practically on the south edge of the same promontory. The bed is of the same thickness, namely, from 6 to 12 inches, and appears from the measurements at present taken to be almost exactly at the same level in each spot, and in each case resting upon some 20 feet of limestone beds belonging to the Great Oolite. Most of these beds are very hard and more or less fossiliferous, but one or two very soft. One soft bed, about 6 feet below this sandy parting, is crowded with Terebratula maxillata. This bed is found in one or two other sections not far distant, and forms a definite datum line in the several sections for comparison. Above the sandy parting, in both the Cetiosaurus pit and the newly opened pit, there is a bed of about 4 feet of shale, immediately followed by the hard slabs and slaty beds of the Forest Marble. This 6 to 12 inch sandy bed, with the carbonaceous matter in which the bones were found, may be certainly taken as the line of demarcation between the Great Oolite and the Forest Marble; and though there is no trace of unconformity (the beds being all practically horizontal), the sudden change in lithological character points to a marked change of physical circumstances, in which the surface, if not actually becoming dry land, must have become nearly so, to be followed again by the shales and the marine beds of the Forest Marble. This change may perhaps account for so many bones of one individual animal being found together and comparatively so little worn by any movement whatever. Some 400 yards to the east, and about the centre of the promontory, large quarries are open, which pass through 25 feet of the Cornbrash and Forest Marble, apparently reaching the shales which rest on the sandy parting referred to, as shown in the other sections. Though there is no reason to anticipate that any of the bones of this particular animal may have been drifted in this direction, it is thought advisable to make an excavation or so at the place with the view of ascertaining exactly how far the particular sandy parting is extended. In the uncertainty as to which was the best spot where to set the excavations going, the Chairman felt he was not justified in drawing any money on account of the grant of 201.; but now that permission has been granted and several observations and measurements made and inquiries set on foot, the Committee would request that the grant may be renewed, so that the inquiries and observations may be continued, and that at the first favourable opportunity some trial holes may be made, partly with a view of being satisfied that no further remains of that animal exist near the spot where the others were found, partly also of determining somewhat further than has been done the circumstances under which those remains were deposited in that spot, and the relation of the bed in which they occur to the Great Oolite below and the Forest Marble above.

Schedule of the Collection of Photographs II-List of Photographs illustrating Geological Papers PAGE 411 413 YOUR Committee have the honour to report that during the past year 161 photographs have been received, thus bringing up the number registered since the commencement of their operations to a total of 1,216. Particulars of the new additions are, as heretofore, given in this Report. By far the greater number of these are the work of Mr. Godfrey Bingley, of Leeds, to whom the Committee are indebted for much valuable assistance. They desire to record their thanks to the following donors of photographs and others who have rendered aid in various ways: Professor |
