aerating the water with a syringe are adopted, and the animals 

 are fed once a month on butcher's meat. Several generations 

 of descendants of the original anemones are flourishing also 

 in other aquaria. The water is changed every six or eight 

 weeks. Miss Nelson tells a story of another sea anemone that 

 was named ' Granny,' which lived in a tumbler in the Botanical 

 Department at the University of Edinburgh for sixty years. 

 It went into residence near the beginning of last century, and 

 was left by the professor of Botany to his successors by will. 



HUDDERSFIELD MUSEUM. 



' Angles, Danes and Norse in the District of Huddersfield 

 is the title of the Tolson Memorial Museum Publication, No. 

 2 (62 pp., i/-), by VV. G. Collingwood. The memoir is 

 admirably prepared and illustrated by numerous views of 

 local Anglo-Danish crosses, etc., reproductions and restorations 

 of which have been placed in the Museum. The idea of these 

 handbooks — dealing with history, geology and natural history 

 ■ — is excellent, and we are pleased to see that several others are 

 in preparation. 



RECORDING SECTIONS IN GRAVELS. 



The Gravels Committee of the Geologists' Association has 

 made the following suggestions for recording details of Sections 

 in Gravels : — The record should comprise (i) Notes on the 

 position, height, and constituents of the gravel ; (2) Measured 

 diagrams ; (3) Photographs of interesting structures. 



Position. — Give i-inch map, No. ■ ; 6-inch sheet. No. , 



State distance and direction of the section from some permanent 



structure, e.g., 560 yards N.W. of Church. Height.— 



For all sections give the range of the base, e.g., from 25- to 

 40 O.D. Distinguish clearly between the base level and the 

 level of the surface of the gravel spread. Section. — Measure 

 as accurately as possible. Show the various beds in a diagram. 

 Number the beds. Add notes on any really important features 

 in (a) materials — sands, loams, gravels ; (b) their condition — 

 loose, cemented, angular, etc. ; (c) bedding, normal, current- 

 bedded, unstratified ; (d) thickness ; (e) colour ; (f) signs 

 of movement or disturbance ; (g) underlying formation. 

 Flint Implements and Fossils. — Obtain all possible informa- 

 tion as to their exact relation to the beds. (Great caution 

 is necessary when purchasing specimens). Non-local 

 Rocks. — These may yield most valuable evidence bearing 

 on the age, mode of origin, and derivation of the gravel. 

 Correlations. — Add any observations which may throw 

 light on the relation of the deposit to other superficial 

 deposits.
