ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 339 



complete the work during the present year, and therefore ask to be 

 reappointed and to be allowed to retain the unexpended balance of the 

 grant made at the Bradford meeting. 



Fhotographs of Geological Interest in the United Kingdom. — Twelfth 

 I\.epori of the Committee, consisting of Professor James Geikie 

 (Chairman)^ Dr. T. G. Bonney, Professor E. J. Garwood, 

 Dr. Tempest Anderson, Mr. Godfrey Bingley, Mr. H. Coates, 

 Mr. C. V. Crook, Mr. J. G. Goodchild, Mr. William Gray, Mr. 

 Robert Kidston, Mr. A. S. Reid, Mr. J. J. H. Teall, 

 Mr. R. Welch, Mr. H. B. Woodward, Mr. P. Woolnough, 

 mul Professor W. W. Watts (Secretary). (Drawn up hy the 

 Secretary.) 



The Committee have the honour to report that during the year 241 new 

 photographs have been received, bringing up the total number in the col- 

 lection to 2,896. 



In addition to this 3 prints and 3 slides have been given to the 

 duplicate collection, making a total of 247 photographs received during 

 the year. 



A scheme showing the geographical distribution of the photographs is. 

 appended. There are no new counties on the list, but the following 

 counties are now much better represented than hitherto : — Cumberland, 

 Derby, Durham, Lincoln, Norfolk, Northumberland, Wiltshire, and Pem- 

 broke. Cambridgeshire continues to share with Rutland and Hunting- 

 don the distinction of being unrepresented in the collection. There are 

 three Welsh counties unrepresented, eleven in Scotland, and fourteen in 

 Ireland. As Brecknock, Dumbarton, Ross-shire, Wicklow, Kilkenny, 

 and Waterford are amongst these counties it is evident that the work of 

 the Committee cannot yet be considered complete. 



To this year's collection the most noteworthy accession is Dr. G. 

 Abbott's set of photographs of sections and specimens illustrating his 

 study of the remarkable concretionary structures exhibited by the Mag- 

 nesian Limestone of Durham. 



Another important contribution is a beautiful series of views illus- 

 trating problems on Physical Geography and Geology in the Cheviots, 

 taken by Mr. G. Bingley and Mr. Hastings. The former also sends 

 photographs from Yorkshire. 



Mr. Coomara-Swamy has taken photographs in Lakeland and Wilt- 

 shire, and Mr. Monckton in Dorset, Surrey, and Berkshire. 



Mr. A. T. Metcalfe contributes an interesting series of glacial photo- 

 graphs from the Norfolk coast, and a set illustrating the volcanic vents 

 of Derbyshire recently described by Sir Archibald Geikie. 



The Hull Geological Society and the Croydon Microscopical and 

 Natural History Club send some local photographs, and the members of 

 the North Staffordshire Field Club also continue their contributions. 



Mr. Jerome Harrison sends some exceptionally beautiful and interest- 

 ing pictures of drift deposits and of striated boulders, of glacial pheno- 

 mena about Snowdonia, and of surface creep. He also sends illustrations 

 of Palreozoic and pre-PaUvozoic rocks in the Midlands, while the Uriconian 

 rocks of Slii'opshire have been photograplied by Mr. Buddicom as well.
