thickness was probably never deposited in the neighbourhood of 

 Cairo. It is a fact that, as the Miocene is traced eastward, the 

 beds thicken and become almost pure limestone, while others that 

 were sandstone on the west have passed over into limestone 

 further east.

I. — Photographs of Geological Interest in the United Kingdom.^ 

 (PLATE XVIII.) 

 T is again our pleasant task to call the attention of the readers of 



1 



the Geological Magazine to the excellent work performed by 

 Professor W. W. Watts, F.E.S., and his Committee for recording 

 and preserving photographs of places and sections of geological 

 interest in the United Kingdom. The report from which most 

 of the following statements are taken shows that the past year 

 has been exceptionally successful, the number of new photographs 

 received having exceeded that of any previous year. The accessions 

 number 543 ; the total number in the collection is 4,314, and the 

 yearly average rises to 287. Since issuing the report 100 other 

 photographs have been received. 



The geographical scheme annexed shows that four counties are 

 removed from last year's * black list ' — Cambridge, Kildare, Leitrim, 

 and Wicklow having now made contributions to the collection. 

 There are still 21 non-contributing counties — two in England, one 

 in Wales, seven in Scotland, and eleven in Ireland. 



To this year's list Yorkshire makes, as so often before, the largest 

 contribution, 243 ; Norfolk follows with 43, Kent with 31, and 

 Pembroke with 30. Considerable additions are made to the lists 

 of Buckingham, Northampton, Suifolk, Fife, Linlithgow, Eenfrew, 

 Cork, and Sligo.
