MISCELLANEOUS. 
Yorkshire Earthquakes.—In an article under the title 
‘Yorkshire Earthquakes’ in the ‘Naturalist’ for January, 1905, 
Dr. Charles Davidson intimates that any notices of the effects in 
Yorkshire of the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755, if any such 
were observed, would be of considerable interest to him. I 
have just noticed in a pamphlet entitled ‘Notes on Old 
Peterborough,’ by Andrew Percival (Published in 1905 by the 
Peterborough Archeological Society, p. 40), a quotation from 
‘an Ipswich paper’ ‘in 1755,’ as follows :—‘ By a letter from 
Thirsk, in Yorkshire, we learn that very lately a terrible shock 
of earthquake was felt, inasmuch that several large rocks were 
removed to considerable distances ; several large grown elms 
were swallowed up by the earth so that no part of them remained 
to be seen but the uppermost branches. A man driving a cart 
near the place, the horses were so much frightened by the 
shock that they broke loose from the carriage and ran away. 
The horses seem to have behaved very sensibly.’—H. E. 
Wroot, Bradford. 
The effects of the weather at Harrogate in 1907.—It is 
perhaps worth while to make a note of the disastrous results 
caused by the inclement and changeable weather this spring.
