Synopsis

Proceedings Of The Geologists' Association. This late-19th-century proceedings volume gathers organizational records, scholarly papers, and field-excursion reports from the Geologists’ Association (Vol. XI, 1889–90). It documents the Association’s governance, including officers, treasurer, editors, council, membership, elections, accounts, and library acquisitions, alongside corrigenda and printing notes. The scholarly program spans volcanic action, metalliferous deposits, paleontology, experimental geology, and the geology of iron ores, with detailed field itineraries and field reports from 1888–1890 across southern England and other regions. Museum and library activities feature visits to major institutions, demonstrations, specimens, and lantern-slides. Major themes center on stratigraphy and fossil records, coastal geology and landslides, historical geology and palaeontology, and regional surveys linked to Geological Survey maps. Notable excursion highlights include Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Portland, Boxmoor and Nash Mills, Brentwood, Higham, Ightham, and the Whitsuntide Crag district. The volume also contains broader studies in palaeontology, ore genesis, experimental methods, and the history of British geology, reflecting the era’s field-oriented approach.
