NOTES AND NEWS. 71 
The Report of the Committee on the migration of Birds, of 
which Mr. John Cordeaux is Secretary, was read by your Delegate. 
The Committee reported that very considerable progress had been 
made in the past year in the Digest of the observations of nine 
years, which is being prepared by Mr. W. Eagle Clarke. The 
Committee were re-appointed. 
The Committee, of which Mr. J. W. Davis is Chairman, was 
appointed to complete the investigation of the cave at Elbolton, 
near Skipton, in order to ascertain whether remains of palzolithic 
man occur in the lower cave earth. They presented a Report o 
their explorations down to the end of December, 1890. 
r. Garson read a papér on some human remains found on the 
estate of Sir Tatton Sykes, at Howe Hill, Duggleby, in Yorkshire. 
In the second report of the Committee which was appointed to 
arrange for the collection, preservation, and systematic heer of 
photographs of geological interest in the United Kingdom, the 
Committee report that up to July 1891, they had received and 
registered 552 photographs. In the detailed list which is appended, 
Yorkshire occupies an honourable position, both on account of the 
number of the contributors and on account of the number and the 
scientific value of the photographs sent. Moreover, the Secretary of 
the Geological Photograph Committee of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ 
Union cannot fail to be pleased and encouraged by the following 
extract from the Report :—‘ Special efforts have been made to induce 
the local Societies in each county to organise systematic surveys for 
the furtherance of the work. This method has been pursued with 
great success in Yorkshire, the members of the Geological Photo- 
graphic Committee of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union having again 
contributed a large and valuable series of prints. Many of these 
subjects refer to sections which cannot be reproduced, as, for instance, 
fossil trees laid bare in quarrying and excavations for the foundations 
of buildings now covered over. 
In conclusion, it is hoped that in the variety of subjects which 
have been touched upon, some, at any rate, may have awakened 
interest, or renewed enthusiasm, and that the members of the Union 
having seen in what channels their energies may be most usefully 
directed, may be encouraged to take their full share in working for 
the advancement of science.
