bridge to Leeds, and thence by the Aire below Leeds, which in 
practice is taken to be the Aire and Calder Navigation, i.e., the

SHEFFIELD ARCHAOLOGISTS. 
We are glad to see that Sheffield now has its Archeological 
Society, viz., the Hunter Archeological Society, named after 
Joseph Hunter, the historian. The first part of its Transactions 
(134 pages) contains many papers of local antiquarian interest, 
some of which are illustrated. There are figures of some fine 
examples of old furniture collected by the late Reginald Gatty ; 
and Mr. Thomas Winder in his account of ‘ Archeological Finds 
in and around Hallamshire,’ figures some bronze axes, etc., one 
of which is of a very unusual type. We have not seen the 
original specimen, but from the illustration given, which we 
are kindly permitted to reproduce herewith, it seems likely 
that the axe may be made from the lower part of a ELST. 
such as is figured on page 100. 
LIVERPOOL GEOLOGISTS. 
The Proceedings of the Liverpool Geological Society, vol.

address on ‘The Formation of a Sandstone’; Mr. J. W. 
Dunn writes on ‘Skiddaw and the Rocks of Borrowdale’ ; 
Mr. H. W. Greenwood on ‘ An Example of the paragenesis ot
