years Mr. Reed devoted himself, with scarcely a day’s intermission, 
to the toilsome duty of a busy practice, mitigating the severity of the 
splendid collection of recent and fossil shells and mammalian 
remains—in many cases presented, as purchased, to the Yorkshire 
Philosophical Society. As curator of the geological department, 
r. Reed witnessed the steady growth around him of that treasure 
of which both himself and the Society became so justly proud, and 
up to the day of his death continued to fill up gaps in the different 
geological formations as opportunity offered, until the ‘ Reed’ collec- 
tion has become fairly representative of British geology. 
Among the rebate collections purchased by Mr. Reed and 
presented by him to the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, may be 
acre sieiitoned” the following :— 
. The ‘Wood’ collection of Palzeozoic remains, specially rich in 
examples from the Carboniferous Limestone of Yorkshire, 
and Permian fishes 
2. Part of the ‘Bean’ ‘Satie son consisting almost entirely of 
Yorkshire Jurassic fossils. 
3. The ‘Whincop and Baker’ collections of ‘Crag’ remains, 
particularly rich in ‘Red Crag’ f 
4. The ‘ Elves’ collection of Eocene eheits of the London and 
Hampshire Basins. 
The above-named special aaa? are in addition to the 
original ‘Reed’ nucleus, strong in Tertiary and Cambridge Green- 
sand fossils and Pliocene ii oitiaiiais remains from Barnwell 
and Ilford.
