ON PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEOLOGICAL INTEREST. 275 



field. It is pi-oposed, however, to give in the next Report some hints 

 which may be of use to those engaged in photographing rocks and other 

 ceological features. 



Among the donations of photographs added to the collection during 

 the pa^tyear are several of great scientific value as illustrations of geologi- 

 cal interest. The Committee desire to record their obligations to tlie 

 following donors of photographs : — The Belfast Naturalists' Field Club, 

 Croydon Natural History and Microscopical Society, Leicester Literary 

 and Philosophical Society, the Manchester Geographical Society, and the 

 Perthshire Society of Natural Science ; Miss Mary K. Andrews, Dr. 

 Valentine Ball, Messrs. F. J. Allen, W. H. Alexander, Montagu Browne, 

 R. G. Brook, Henry Coates, F. N. Eaton, H. D. Gower, Wm. Gray, 

 Wilbert Goodchild, E. J. Garwood, W. Lamont Howie, H. L. P. Lowe, 

 J. G. McDakin, G. A. Piquet, H. Preston, C. J. Watson, and R. Welch. 

 The Belfast Naturalists' Field Club have contributed an exceedingly 

 valuable series of photographs illustrating the Antrim chalks and basalts, 

 together with some fine examples of marine denudation. The extensive 

 series of whole-plate prints, taken by Messrs. J. Burton and Sons for the 

 Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society (for which the Committee are 

 indebted to the good offices of Mr. Montagu Browne), afford some charac- 

 teristic examples of the advantageous application of photograpliy to 

 geological illustration. 



The following suggestions have been received as to suitable sections, 

 <fec., of which photographs are desirable, and the Committee hope that 

 some photographer in the localities mentioned will be able to undertake 

 the work : — 



Mr. H. C. Beasley {Hon. Sec. Liverpool Geological Society). 



Section in quarry (50 feet) between Rednall and Kendall End, Lickey Hills, 

 showing fault with contortions in the Lickey quartzite. 



Dr. C. Callaway, F.G.S. {Wellington, Salop). 



Section of Uriconian tuffs and conglomerates in large quarry at Lawrence Hill at 

 the foot of the Wrekin, two miles from the railway station, Wellington, Shropshire. 



Section of Longmyndian conglomerate by the side of the road at Bagston Hill, 

 two miles south of Shrewsbury. 



Section of May Hill Sandstone resting unconformably upon Lower Ordovician 

 rocks at Hope, two miles from Minsterley Station, Shropshire. 



Section of contorted Ordovician strata at Hope, near Minsterley. 



Sections of Wenlock limestone around Much Wenlock, Shropshire. 



Section of passage beds between Wenlock limestone and Wenlock shale, on the 

 road from Wenlock down to Harley, alwut one mile from Wenlock. 



Section of basal Carboniferous beds resting on Wenlock shale in read called 

 Jigger's Bank, about a mile from Coalbrookdale Station, Shropshire. 



Sections of waterstones (Lower Keuper), with perhaps slabs of footprints of 

 Rhyuclwxaurns, at Grinshill, near Yarton Station, Sliropshire. 



Sections of glacial sands at Ketley, one mile from Wellington, Shropshire. 



Ireland. 



Near Londonderry. West of the '15 of ' Burnfoot' on the one- inch Ordnance 

 map. Quarry. Grit and black schist contorted. 



Near Buncrana. On shore near Ned's Point. Examples of contortion and over- 

 thrust. 



Between Buncrana and Fahan, near Fahan. On the shore. Fine examples of 

 crushing and contortion.
