association with the springs known as Bournes. Mr. Buckingham has 
also photographed Reculvers Church from the same points of view as 
Lyell’s famous pictures, and the result brings home the potency of marine 
denudation and the need for coast defences. 
Mr. R. Vowell Sherring, working in conjunction with the Bourne- 
mouth and District Society of Natural Science, sends some beautiful 
prints of the Bournemouth cliffs; Mr. Mellard Reade contributes some 
excellent photographs of the well-known gypsum boulder of Crosby ; and 
Mr. Topham a series {28m the gravels of Eye in Northamptonshire. The 
rhythmical fretting of limestone by water in Hell Gill is illustrated by 
Mr. Rodwell under circumstances of considerable difficulty, and the 
marine destruction of the Scarborough landslips by Mr. Monckton. 
Mr. Leach sends photographs of a mass of Carboniferous Limestone at 
Tenby, supposed to show 10,000 specimens of Productus, and, curiously 
enough, almost the same post brought a notice that ‘the Corporation have 
for years been breaking up the stone for road repair, and are now in 
possession of a steam stone-breaker which will in the course of time cause 
this natural curiosity to disappear, unless some steps are taken to pre- 
vent it.’ 
Messrs. Muff and Wright have taken an ideal set of photographs of the 
raised beaches and platforms of Cork, which are buried under boulder- 
clay, blown-sand, and ‘head ;’ Mr. Pledge continues to illustrate Mr. 
Davies’s work on the Purbeck and Portland of the Haddenham district ; 
Mr. Robarts sends further contributions on the geology of Kent 
and Surrey from the Croydon Natural History and Scientific Society ; 
and Mr. Plews gives the first photographs recorded from Cambridge- 
shire. 
The importance of the contributions of members of the Committee 
will be realised from the fact that they are responsible for 426 photo- 
graphs out of a total of 541. Mr. W. Jerome Harrison, one of the 
earliest and most earnest of geological photographers, and perhaps the 
pioneer of county photographic surveys, sends no less than 270 prints out 
of his large collection of a lifetime. These comprise a large series of the 
Yorkshire coast from Bridlington to Whitby, series from Cornwall, 
Norfolk, and Suffolk, and our first connected set from the Cambrian 
rocks of St. Davids. Mr. Bingley contributes 76 prints taken in 
Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire, Anglesey, and Carnarvon. Professor 
Reynolds’s work is well represented by illustrations from Hertfordshire, 
the Carboniferous area of Somerset, and volcanic areas in Fife, Hadding- 
ton, and Linlithgow. Last, but not least, Mr. Welch makes a valuable 
gift of 35 prints taken in Lancashire and Ireland, in connection with the 
work of the Belfast Naturalists’ Field Club, and of Mr. Praeger and 
Mr. Lamplugh. These include examples from Antrim and Cork, the 
glacial and associated deposits of Down and Dublin, and phenomena 
connected with limestones and caves in Sligo. One of the photo- 
graphs is both botanical and geological, for it shows the formation of 
tufa in a limestone-district through the agency of colonies of various 
mosses. 
To all the gentlemen named the Committee tender their best thanks, 
as well as to the following, who have contributed less in amount, it is 
true, but individual examples or series of high value: Mr. Epps, Mr. 
G. T. Atchison, Mr. Hopkinson, Messrs. Abley and Griffith, Mr. Hodson,
