of the margin of the northern ice-sheet where it ponded back the 

 drainage of the Cleveland Hills. ^ ^Lr. Lamplugh has studied the 

 Boulder-Clays of the coast by Eridlington aud Flamborough Head.^ 

 Mi. Jukes-Browne has given us descriptions of the Drift of Lincoln- 

 shire. In East Anglia the Drifts were studied in earlier years by 

 Joshua Trimmer, and subsequently in more detail by Searles Y. 

 Wood, Jun., by W. H. Penning,^ by Mr. F. W. Harmer,* and others ; 

 while on our extreme southern shores the peculiar glacial phenomena 

 there presented, which were described many years ago by Godwin- 

 Austen,' have been further elucidated by Mr. Clement Reid.^ Thus 

 there are comparatively few of the glaciated portions of the country 

 of which investigations have not been recorded in the Society's 

 publications. 



The valley-gravels and later post-Glacial deposits of our islands 

 have likewise found a place in our Journal. Among the papers 

 dealing with this part of the geological record, those of Prestwich are 

 specially noteworthy. The bone-caves of England and their organic 

 contents have been the subject of various communications to the 

 Society. The papers of Prof. Boyd Dawkins' and the Eev. Magens 

 Mello'* are well-known, likewise those by Hicks and De Ranee on the 

 Cae-Gwyn Cavern.^ The interesting ossiferous fissures near Ightham 

 have been fuUy described by Mr. J. W. L. Abbott & Mr. E. T. 

 Newton,^" while within the last few years fresh examples of bone- 

 caves have been brought to light by Mr. H. X. Davies from the 

 Cheddar limestone,^^ and by Dr. H. H. Arnold-Bemrose & Mr. E. T. 

 Newton from that of Derbyshire.^- 



II. Foreign Geology. 



From the outset of its career the Geological Society has not 

 confined its attention to the rocks of this country, but has welcomed 

 and published communications on the geology of all quarters of the 

 globe. In the early decades of the last century the growing spirit 

 of travel induced many of our countrymen who had geological
