crowcombeia Moore, and some species of Pleuromya and Volsella 
from the Rhetic and Lower Lias.’ Though this paper deals 
principally with the fossils of Somersetshire, it will be of service 
to Yorkshire geologists in identifying the species enumerated, 
which are illustrated on two excellent plates. Mr. T. Sheppard’s 
‘ Bibliography of Yorkshire Geology, I915,’ enumerates 104 
items published for the year. The Secretary’s Reports and 
Treasurer’s Balance Sheets for 19r4 and 1915, and a list of 
Members, conclude the Proceedings. A slip informs us that 
Mr. Sheppard’s Memoir on William Smith will follow as early 
as possible. 
LONDON NATURALISTS, 
We have been favoured with the Tvansactions of the London 
Natural History Society for the years I1914-5.* The former 
contains the first Annual Report in which the London Natural 
History Society wishes to emphasize the fact that its amal- 
gamation with the City of London Entomological and Natural 
History Society has been justified. _ The present publication, 
therefore, commences a new series, which with the slight 
alteration suggested below, we trust will be but the beginning 
of a long series of Transactions. Besides the various reports 
of excursions, sectional branches, etc., the first part of the 
publication has a miscellaneous series of papers including the 
following : — The ‘ Presidential Address,’ by L. B. Prout ; 
‘ The City of London Society,’ by A. W. Mera; ‘ On Collecting 
and Breeding the Sesiide,’ by L. W. Newman; ‘ British- 
Breeding Ducks,’ by C. S. Meares; ‘The Middle Ages in the 
Wey Valley,” by E. Chapman; and ‘ Gynandromorphism,’ 
by E. A. Cockayne. 
AND) SURE DR PORIS: 
The Reports for 1915 are very similar to those in I9gI4, 
and the recent Yvansactions also include ‘ The Presidential 
Address,’ by Dr. Cockayne; ‘ Botany of the District,’ by 
C.S. Nicholson ; ‘ Flora of Epping Forest,’ by R. W. Robbins ; 
‘A Hawthorn Hedge in Middlesex,’ by A. Sich; ‘ Treatment 
of Nature in Gothic Design,’ by Miss Bagust ; ‘ Life History 
and Variation of Euchloé cardamines,’ by H. B. Williams. 
The first part of the Transactions contains 85 pages, and the 
second 87, each being separately paged. While congratulating 
the editor upon the excellent reports, and upon the general 
appearance of the Transactions, we should like to make a 
mild protest against the method of numbering the pages 
containing advertisements. In the second Volume, as they
