NOTES AND COMMENTS. 
Q.J.G.S. 
The June number of the Quarterly Journal of the Geological 
Society, which was ‘issued on July 2gth,’ and reached us early in 
August, gives evidence of the geological work being accom- 
plished in the North of England. The first paper is by Mr. S. S. 
Buckman, on the ‘ Kelloway Rock,’ of Scarborough (though ’ 
we think he should have used the proper word ‘ Kellaways ’) 
and he records 60 species of ammonites from that rock. Mr. 
C. Thompson follows with his enormous list of the Derived 
Cephalopoda of the Holderness Drift, and remarks thereon ; 
he records several new forms of ammonites. Mr. C. T. Trech- 
mann follows with a description of the remarkable mass of 
Anhydrite in the Magnesian Limestone at Hartlepool, which 
has already been referred to in these pages. Mr. H. H. Thomas 
gives an account of the fossil flora of the Cleveland district, 
dealing with the Marske Quarry, and his paper is remarkably 
well illustrated. The Rev. G. J. Lane supplements this paper 
with Stratigraphical Notes. 
THE BOOTLE MUSEUM. 
We learn from the report of the Bootle Library and Museum 
Committee that 37,573 visits have been paid to the Museum. 
“Much useful work has been accomplished in the shape of 
cleaning, re-arrangement and preservation of specimens, 
whilst several contributions of a minor character have been 
suitably set up and described. A few shabby natural history 
specimens have been replaced by fresh examples, whilst sundry 
ornithological and other exhibits have been effectively mounted 
and displayed. The interest attaching to a number of archzo- 
logical objects has been appreciably enhanced by the provision of 
labels of an elucidatory character.’ The curator also delivered 
half a dozen popular lectures on subjects bearing upon the 
Museum’s work. 
ENTOMOLOGICAL RECORDS. . 
In The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine for August. Mr. 
D. Sharp corrects an error which was corrected on the proof 
but which was not corrected. ‘ It is stated that Paykull gives 
no reason for substituting the name fracticorne for that of the 
previous globerrimum. He does, however, give a reason by 
saying that when examined with a lens the insect is not glober- 
rimum.’ We quite agree with Dr. Sharp that ‘ the confusion 
is very great,’ and we hope the matter is simplified by his 
suggestion that the long-winged form be called globerrimum 
and our common form brevipenne. 
PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF PROTURA. 
In a paper on ‘ The Present Knowledge of the Protura’ in 
The Entomologist for August, Mr. C. B. Williams states that
