Handbook to Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. 

 Edited by T. Sheppard, M.Sc, F.G.S. (British Association, 

 Hull Meeting), pp. 532, with plates and figures (not numbered). 

 London and Hull : A. Brown & Sons, Ltd., 1922. 



rPHIS handsome volume, prepared as the local guide for the Hull 

 -*- meeting of the British Association, contains a large number 

 of special articles on the East Riding of Yorkshire. The section on 

 geology, presumably written by Mr. Sheppard, though short, is 

 much to the point, and gives an excellent summary of our present 

 knowledge of this interesting area, which presents many remarkable 

 features and has been described in so many classical memoirs. The 

 sections on coast-erosion and geographical changes, as well as 

 a short chapter on the North Sea by Mr. A. N. Somerscales, also 

 present matter worthy of the attention of geologists. Mr. Sheppard 

 is to be congratulated on the results of his editorial labours, which, 

 as may be gathered from the preface, appear to have been unusually 

 arduous.
