Houghton, and Lesbury, pp. 328-336. Appendix T. References to 

 Geological Papers (continued), p. 496. Appendix II. Sections of 

 Coal Workings in the Mountain Limestone Formation, pp. 497, 498. 

 Appendix III. View of Cullernose Bay, showing junction of the 

 Whin Sill and Sedimentary Rocks (an excellent Photographic Plate). 

 Appendix IV. Coloured Plate, giving the details of the Section 

 from Howick to Cullernose Point. Appendix V. Plate of Sections, 

 showing sedimentary rocks associated with the Whin at Ratcheugh, 

 Little Mill, and the Harkess Rocks, (after Tate and Lebour). 



It will be seen from the above list that a great deal of ground 

 has been covered by Mr. Garwood, and it should be added that he 

 has spared neither time nor trouble in carefully going over every 

 inch of it. Though thoroughly master of all that had been pre- 

 viously done in the districts described, the author has used his own 

 judgment in all cases, and has added largely to the facts already 

 recorded concerning them. More particularly I would call attention 

 to his interesting discoveries respecting the minerals resulting from 

 contact-metamorphism in connexion with the Great Whin Sill, to 

 "what is probably a raised beach noticed by him on the Howick 

 coast, and to his very pertinent and suggestive remarks respecting 

 the Drift deposits that form a marked feature in much of the country 

 referred to. His work is in no sense a compilation, though he has 

 in every instance endeavoured to do full justice to previous observers, 

 but is the result of honest hard work such as any field-geologist 

 would be pi'oud of. Under these circumstances one cannot but 

 regret that the form of its publication should be likely to withdraw 

 it from the recognition which it deserves. 



I may perhaps express a hope that when the series of papers 

 is completed they may be issued separately, and thus rendered 

 accessible (which at present they certainly are not) to ordinary 

 geological readers. G. A. Lebour. 



VI. — The Rubble-drift and Ossiferous Breccia in the Island 

 of Palmaria, and on the Shores of the Gulf of Spezzia. 

 By Professor Giovanni Capellini. (Mem. R. Accad. Sci. Istit. 

 Bologna; ser. 5, vol. iv, 1895.) 



IN this memoir reference is first of all made to Professor Prestwich's 

 various papers on the Rubble-drift and Raised Beaches of Southern 

 England and the Northern Coast of France, in the Journal of the 

 Geological Society of London and the Reports of the British 

 Association, in 1861-65. Professor Capellini then alludes to the 

 deductions drawn from a consideration of this particular Drift, 

 especially as seen at Brighton and Sangatte, and given in the 

 Bulletin Soc. Geol. France, 1880 ; and to the conclusions arrived at 

 by Prestwich, as published in the Philosophical Transactions, in the 

 Journal of the Geological Society, and Proceedings of the Victoria 

 Institute ; and of late published in a separate book treating of the 

 " Tradition of the Flood." These are to the effect that at the above- 

 mentioned places, and elsewhere in Western Europe, the peculiar 

 Drift treated of bears direct evidence of a great submergence.
