336 Miscellaneous. 



fossils is now ia the Malton Museum, and contains many unique 

 specimens, of which a large proportion still remain to be studied 

 and described. He discovered a considerable series of Calcisponges 

 in the Corallian of Malton, and these were described by Dr. G. J. 

 Hinde in his Monograph of British Fossil Sponges (Pateont. Soc). 

 One new species was named Gorynella Gliadwicki. He also dis- 

 covered various fish-remains, which have been noticed in papers 

 by Dr. Smith Woodward. For several years Mr. Chadwick wa& 

 a Fellow of the Geological Society.

Mathematical Crystallography. — The Oxford University Press 

 has just issued "Mathematical Crystallography" by Mr. H. Hilton, 

 whose object has been to collect for the use of English readers those 

 results of the mathematical theory of crystallography which are not 

 proved in the modern textbooks on that subject in the English 

 language. 



The Geological and Mineralogioal Survey of Ceylon. — We 

 are pleased to learn that Dr. Ananda CoomIraswabiy, F.L.S., F.G.S., 

 has lately been appointed Director of the newly created Mineral 

 Survey of Ceylon, the headquarters of which are at Peradeniya ; 

 and Mr. James Parsons, B.Sc, F.G.S., has been made Assistant 

 Surveyor. 



South Australia. — Mr. H. Y. L. Brown, F.G.S., has issued a report 

 (1902) on the White Range gold-mines of the Arltunga Goldfield, in 

 the northern territory of South Australia. This is purely economic.- 

 With it, however, come Nos. 12 and 13 of the " Contributions to 

 the Palgeontology of South Australia," 1902, a single folio tract by 

 Robert Etheridge, jun., containing " More complete evidence of 

 Thinnfeldia odontopteroides, Morris, in the Leigh Creek Coal- 

 measures," and " Evidence of further Cambrian Trilobites." The 

 species of Trilobites come from 40 miles S.E. of Elkedra, a deserted 

 cattle station, in lat. 21° S., long. 135° 22' E., approximately. This 

 place is 150 miles south of Alexandra, where Olenellus Browni was 

 obtained, which Etheridge described in 1897. The specimens are 

 referred to a new Agnostus {A. elkedraensis) and a new Microdiscus 

 {M. significans). 



Queensland. — Bulletin 18 (171 of the publications) of the Geo- 

 logical Survey of Queensland contains "Fossil Plants from Duaringa, 

 Ipswich, Dawson River, and Stanwell," and "Fossil Wood from the 

 Ipswich Beds, Boggo Road, Brisbane," by John Shirley. These 

 papers illustrate the PalEeozoic and Mesozoic floras, and figures are 

 given of the forms described. No. 179, Geological Survey Report, 

 by Lionel C. Ball, deals with Yorkey's Goldfield and the Marodian 

 Gold and Copper Field, 1902. This is mainly economic, but 

 contains notes on the petrology of the country.
