O REPORT OF 



keen-eyed antiquaries, and few of the mdny ways which 

 connected them or branched out from them can now be 

 perceived. The general bearing, however, of most of them 

 is not unknown ; and if members of the Society or others 

 living near the supposed line of them, or near any of the 

 stations which the Romans are thought to have held, would 

 employ their leisure in a careful examination of their neigh- 

 bourhood, some useful knowledge might yet be recovered, 

 which can be recovered by no other means." 



It is not irrelevant to this subject to state, that a con- 

 siderable number of Roman denarii having been lately found 

 in the vicinity of Huddersfield, near the supposed site of 

 the ancient Cambodunum, sixteen of the most perfect were 

 purchased for the Society, and together with them, eight 

 very rare and interesting British coins found at the same 

 place, belonging to the class called the coins ©f Cunobelin, 

 but for preservation and curiosity exceeding any, it is pro- 

 bable, that have been before discovered. 



. The same character of local research, in a different depart- 

 ment of knowledge, enhances the value of a work published 

 during the last year by one of the Officers of the Society, a 

 work which has every where received the approbation of 

 geologists, but which must here be regarded with peculiar 

 satisfaction. Mr. Phillips's excellent " Illustrations" of the 

 Geology of the eastern part of this county, may be con- 

 sidered as the first fruits of the Yorkshire Museum, and have 

 been the means of communicating to distant countries the 

 information to be drawn from its collections.
