He was also responsible for much of the geological work 

 on the maps of Yorkshire issued by the Geological Survey. 



Even so recently as a few months ago he published some 

 work on the gravels of East Anglia, which was duly noticed 

 in the columns of The Naturalist. 



Prof. McKenny Hughes made a special study of the contents 

 of the caves in various parts of this country, and prepared 

 many monographs on the subject. An account of his life's 

 work with portrait and list of memoirs appears in The Geological 

 Magazineior January, 1906 in the ' Eminent Living Geologists ' 

 series. — T.S. 



An extraordinary sight was witnessed at Horncastle on Saturday 

 evening, June 16th. At the back of the Court House are three brick-clay 

 pits, now disused, two of which are full of water and used by the Angling 

 Club. In the smaller pit the water has diminished of late, owing to the 

 dry weather. The top of the water was alive with eels, and around the 

 sides they were in bunches, while many had actually got on to the bank 

 side. The news quickly spread, and within a short time men had gathered 

 and enjoyed a rich harvest. It is estimated that quite 40 stone of eels 

 were obtained on Saturday evening and about ioolb. on Sunday, the 

 majority being between £lb. and 2lb. in weight.
