THE official party left Paddington at 8.45 a.m, on Thursday, April r jth, and arrived at 2.15 p.m. at Fisbguard Harbour; the long drive (16 miles) to the headquarters at the City Hotel, St. Davids, occupied nearly three hours. During the first four days of the excursion sixty-four members and friends were present. The principal object of the excursion was to study the complicated structure and interrelations of the pre-Cambrian and Cambrian rocks of the St. Davids area; but the programme provided also for visits to younger rocks at Abereiddy, Llanvirn, Ramsey Island, and Newgale. The glacial and other surface geology of the district was incidentally studied during most of the tours. Upon the suggestion of Dr. J. W. Evans, who had undertaken the organisation of the Geological Section of the Coronation Exhibition, many of the members agreed to lend specimens obtained during the visit in order that a collection fully illustrative of the work done on a "long" excursion might form a special feature of the Association's display at the Exhibition. The arrangement of the maps, diagrams, photographs, rock specimens, and fossils for this exhibit was undertaken by Dr. Evans. The weather during the first four days was delightful, but on Tuesday a strong south-westerly gale sprang up and the projected visit to Ramsey Island had to be abandoned, while the Southern Coast and Newgale excursions were somewhat shortened in consequence of adverse weather conditions; otherwise the programme was fully carried out. April 14th.
