cliff; but to-day not only have these disappeared, but a portion of the 
churchyard has gone also, and the church itself is now only 80 feet 
from the cliff-edge. 
Mr. Francis Fox, of Sir Douglas Fox & Partners, 56 Moorgate 
Street, has made a gratuitous report out of goodwill towards a parish 
which is by no means wealthy. He explains that the trouble is due 
to loss of material through infiltration of the water, as the graveyard 
for a depth of 10 to 15 feet is composed. of light porous material. 
He proposes a system of rubble drains, and at the foot of the cliff 
a reinforced concrete wall to prevent further erosion of the lime- 
stone beds. 
The work will cost £2000, and a local committee has been formed. 
Already about £1200 has been received. Donations may be sent to 
the Vicar, the Rev. W. Jacob, or to Mr. J. E. Hill, Wilts and Dorset 
Bank, Lyme Regis.

A CrytenartAn Gerozocist.— Mr. John Randall, of Madeley, 
Shropshire, has this year celebrated his 100th birthday, haying been 
born at Ladywood, Broseley, on September 1, 1810. Mr. Randall 
(with George E. Roberts) read before the Geological Society in 
January, 1868, a paper ‘‘On the Upper Silurian Passage-beds at 
Linley, Salop’’; and in the following month he was elected a Fellow 
of the Society, but resigned in 1877. Several geological communica- 
tions from Mr. Randall have appeared in the Gronogicat Macazinn. 
We learn from the Shrewsbury Chronicle that he received a bronze 
medal for his collection of minerals and fossils at the Great Exhibition 
of 1851. He was connected with the Coalport pottery works from 
18338 to 1891, and was famous as a painter of birds on china. He has 
published several independent volumes on the history of Shropshire, 
and on Clay Industries. We offer him our sincere congratulations on 
attaining so great an age, after a long and conspicuously useful career.
