218 Field Notes. 
it might be allowed to stand to indicate the locality in which 
probably the finest bronze spear head in the north of England 
was found (which is in the possession of Canon Greenwell), but is 
not referred to in the list. The stone and bronze axes referred to 
under ‘Hull’ were not found at that place, but near Hull, as 
recorded in Sir John Evans’ books, and the only pre-historic 
implement ever found at Hull, curiously enough, is not mentioned 
in the list, as it is in the Wilberforce historical museum, which 
presumably was not examined by Mr. Clinch when he visited 
Hull. We also notice that some forgeries have been included 
as though they were genuine. Perhaps the most unexpected 
omission from the list of place names is ‘ Ulrome,’ where so many 
important discoveries at various periods have been made, some 
of which Mr. Clinch describes elsewhere. 
These omissions, however, are of somewhat minor importance, 
and speaking generally, the account of Yorkshire’s pre-historic 
remains as given by Mr. Clinch is very well done indeed. 
Mr. A. F. Leach writes an account of the schools of the 
county, which is a very useful compilation, and appears to 
have been very conscientiously done. This contribution occupies 
86 pages. 
The concluding chapter (24 pages) deals with Forestry, and 
is written by the Rev. J. C. Cox, whose volume on Forests we 
recently had the pleasure of noticing in these pages (‘ Naturalist,’ 
1906, pp. 95-97). We then dealt at some length with Dr: Cox’s 
researches amongst the old records relating to the Forests of 
Yorkshire; and in the present chapter these are somewhat 
extended. The name of Dr. Cox at the head of this important 
contribution is a sufficient guarantee of the thoroughness of 
the work.
