Journal of Proceedings. xix
Cordial votes of thanks were passed to Mr. Channer the Secretary of
the "Gray's Chalk Quarries Company," to Mr. Anson, the Engineer, and
Mr. Philcox, the Superintendent of the Works, for facilities afforded to the
meeting. Mr. Philcox brought up a number of interesting fossils from the
chalk, including the palatal teeth of fishes, Echini, &c.
Mr. Cole tendered his best thanks to the Rev. R. H. Brenan, M.A.,
Vicar of Grays, for the courtesy with which he had placed his school-room
at the disposal of the Council for the discussion of the day's observations,
and regretted that time would not allow them to take advantage of his
ready kindness.
The 7.58 train took the members up to town, and one of the most
numerously-attended and successful meetings since the Club's formation
appeared to have been enjoyed by all present.
