ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1899. 61 



The Yorkshire Geological Photographs Committee. — 



Valuable additions of photographs of g^eolog"ical interest have 

 agfain been contributed during- the year. The Committee is 

 ag-ain g-reatly indebted to its Chairman, Mr. Godfrey Bing^ley, 

 for the bulk of the work. He has contributed a considerable 

 number of photog^raphs of interesting- geolog'ical features of 

 Yorkshire. Mr. S. W. Cuttriss has also sent a series of six 

 views of potholes and caves of Yorkshire. In addition to the 

 above the members have added largely to the British Associa- 

 tion's collection of g-eolog"icaI photog-raphs at the Jermyn Street 

 Museum. Geolog-ical photograph}- is now a recog-nised branch 

 of the science, and the collections at Jermyn Street are larg-ely 

 used by eminent students. 



It is recommended that the Committee be re-appointed as 

 follows : — Godfrey Bing-ley, Leeds, Chairman ; J. E. Bedford, 

 F.G.S., Leeds, Convener ; Rev. W. Lower Carter, M.A., F.G.S.,

The Yorkshire Coast Erosion Committee, as re-organised, 

 has undertaken a systematic survey of the coast between the 

 Humber and the Tees, and is at present engaged in obtaining 

 a series of measurements at frequent and fairly reg^ular intervals 

 along the coast. Some measurements in the Whitby district 

 have been made by Mr. H. B. Muff, and the Rev. H. E. Maddock, 

 M.A., F.G.S., and Mr. J. W. Stather, F.G.S., have visited the 

 Spurn district on the work of the Committee. Other particulars 

 are also forthcoming, but, as anything like a complete survey 

 cannot be accomplished in one year, these particulars are held 

 over.

 follows :— Rev. E. Maule Cole, M.A., F.G.S., Wetwang, York, 

 Chairman ; T. Sheppard, Hull, Convener ; Rev. H. E. Maddock,

 in the revision and extension of the List of Yorkshire Freshwater 

 Algse. This list, which is almost finished, will be published in the
