whole depth of the section, and down which the drainaj^e has 

 carried the contents of the hi^-her beds. There does not appear 

 to have been any vertical displacement or downthrow, as the 

 top surface of the bottom sand appears to be in the same line on 

 both sides of the crack, but the way in which the ends of the 

 thin gravel beds have been turned down near it is very striking. 

 It was not easy to find out how far this crack had extended 

 laterally, there was no sign of it on the other side of the line, 

 and a few weeks later when the face had been removed from the 

 section photographed for a depth of two yards, all signs of th'e 

 feature had disappeared, so that it may be regarded as nearer 

 akin to a sump or pot hole than to a fault in the ordinary sense 

 of the word. 



Transactions of the Hull Scientific and Field Natu- 

 ralists' Club for the Year 1905. 



Always interesting and valuable, the part before us is 

 exceptionally so. Indeed, we seldom read a part of Trans- 

 actions of any society with so much pleasure as this has given 

 us. The papers embrace such a variety of subjects, yet are 

 all well written, and whether strictly scientific, historical, or 

 biographical, are valuable contributions ; Mr. T. Fetch's 

 ' Mycetozoa of the East Riding,' and Mr. T. Sheppard's just 

 claims as to the Educational value of the Hull Museum, 

 together with the biographical account of the well known 

 Hull lepidopterist, Mr. J. W. Boult (of whom an excellent 

 portrait is added), may be taken as well representing the 

 sort of contributions the part contains. The other papers are - 

 'Natural Aspects of Hull and District,' b}- J. Eraser Robinson ; 

 'Notes on Local Diatoms for 1904-5' (with plate), by R. H. 

 Philip ; 'In Memory of Thomas Blashill ' (with photograph) ; 

 'Notes on the Reclaimed Land of the Humber District,' by 

 T. Fetch ; various East Riding notes, including a portrait 

 of Mr. G. H. Hill ; and lastly, but by no means of less 

 importance or interest, 'The Committee's Report on the Work 

 of the Club during 1905,' showing the Club to be doing highly 

 successful aiul usi-ful work, and in a generally prosperous 

 condition. (j.T. F.
