The Proceedings of the Geologists' Association (Vol. XXL, pt. 8), con- 

 tain the presidential address of Prof. W. W. Watts, entitled ' Fifty Years' 

 Work of the Geologists' Association.' In this Prof. Watts classifies the 

 various contributions made to the Association during the past half-century ; 

 his address being an admirable summary of the work accomplished by 

 that body. He also suggests that an additional £^0 a year should be 

 spent on illustrations for the Society's Proceedings, in order to keep them 

 to the highest and best level. 



The Transactions of the Manchester Geological and Mining Society 



(Vol. XXXI., pts. 14 and 15), contain a valuable paper on ' Sinking into 

 the Lower Coal-Measures at Hulton Colliery,' by Mr. A. J. Tongue. It is 

 illustrated by details of the section, and by an enormous folding plate 

 containing reproductions of a number of photographs of the fossil plants, 

 etc., found during the excavations. This plate contains enough blocks for 

 five ordinary plates, and it would have been much better had they been 

 printed and bound in the ordina'ry way. As it is, the plate is almost sure 

 to be ' guillotined ' by the binders. 



The Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical Society has just 

 issued its Annual Report and List of Members for 1910, as well as some 

 separate papers, including one by E. Wace Carlier on ' Hibernation : 

 a suggestion as to its origin in the Mammalia ' ; Mr. J. Hall-Edwards 

 writes on ' The X-Rays ' ; I\Ir. Olive Hood on ' Rhizophidium Eudorinae : 

 a New Chytridiaceous Fungus ' ; Mr. T. H. Waller on ' The Phosphatic 

 Rocks of Redonda.' There are also two parts of ' The Fauna of the 

 Midland Plateau,' viz., ' A preliminary list of the Thysanura and CoUem- 

 bola,' by Mr. W. E. Collinge (14 pp., 6d.), and ' The Mycetozoa,' by I\Ir. 

 W. B. Grove (23 pp., 6d.).
