new to Ireland. Oontact-metamorphism is illustrated by the eifects 

 produced on all types of sediments by the intrusive dolerites of 

 Antrim. 



The section on Fossils contains a useful general account of each 

 great division of Plants and Animals, and a summary of tl)e leading 

 fossils of each group of strata. This is followed by a list, with 

 references, of the figured and type specimens of fossils in the Survey 

 Collection. A brief account is also given of drawings, photographs, 

 maps, and sections that are preserved in the Museum ; and the work 

 concludes with an index (under numbers) of the places from which 

 the rock-specimens described in the Guide have been collected. 



V. —Geological Papers by Edmund Garwood, M.A., F.G.S., 

 in Vols. I and II of " A History of Northumberland," issued 

 under the direction of the Northumberland County History 

 Committee, and Edited by Edward Bateson, B.A. (Newcastle- 

 \ipon-Tyne and London, 1893-1895.) 



I SHOULD like to draw the attention of geologists, and more 

 especially of those among them who are interested in North- 

 Country Geology, to a series of papers by Mr. Edmund Garwood 

 ■which, unless they are historians and archaeologists as well as 

 geologists, they run the risk of missing altogether. 



To antiquarians it is well known that a very elaboi'ate History of 

 Northumberland, on a very large scale, is in course of publication by 

 a learned committee having the seat of its operations at Newcastle- 

 upon-Tyne. Of this great work, two superb quarto volumes of the 

 ten or dozen intended have already been issued to subscribers, and 

 it is much to be feared that many who would wish to keep abreast 

 of the progress of British geology may be unaware that, buried in 

 the mass of topographical, chronological, and genealogical details 

 which necessarily make up the bulk of the work, there are a 

 number of valuable geological chapters —much too valuable to be 

 overlooked without loss. 



The scheme of this " History " is, unfortunately', such that the 

 chapters in question are not consecutive, and refer each one to a 

 particular parish or group of parishes, sometimes anything but 

 adjacent. This naturally leads to a considerable amount of repeti- 

 tion, the disadvantage of which is perhaps to some extent counter- 

 balanced by a certain convenience for local purposes which may be 

 conceded to the plan. This criticism apart — and Mr. Garwood is in 

 nowise responsible for the lines on which he has been forced to 

 work — nothing but praise can be meted out to these useful and, in 

 several cases, important additions to Northumbrian geology.
