NOTES AND NEWS : RAINFALL. 



The annual meeting of the Manchester Geological Society was held on the 7th 

 October, when Mr. G. C. Greenwell, F.G.S., was elected president, Mr. H. M. 

 Ormerod, F.G.S., treasurer, and Messrs. Joseph S. Martin, F.G. S., and Mark 

 Stirrup, secretaries. The vice-presidents are Messrs. W, S. Barrett, Henry Hall, 

 Clegg Livesey, Mark Stirrup, F.G.S., and H. A. Woodward, and the council-list 

 is complete with the names of Messrs. W. Bryham, J.P., R. T. Burnett, F.G.S., 

 Theodore Grimke, James Tonge, F.G.S., James Radcliffe, W. Watts, F.G.S., G. 

 C. Greenwell, jun., F.G.S., Chas. Hardwick, John L. Hedley, G. H. Hollingworth, 

 F.G.S., Geo. Peace, and Geo. Wild. The annual report stated that the work 

 done had maintained the high standard of previous years, and that the membership 

 continued to increase, notwithstanding a heavy death-roll which included some of 

 the most valued of the members, while the library had increased to such an extent 

 as to call urgently for a new catalogue. It was also mentioned that Mr. Kendall's 

 paper on the Mineral Veins of the English Lake District had raised questions of no 

 small importance. . >cx 



The new 'Flora of the English Lake District,' by Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., is 

 being printed, and will be ready for publication some time during the autumn. 

 The book is to be a flora only, in a cheap and portable form, the geology and 

 climatology of the district having been fully dealt with already in other publications. 

 On another page, we print an interesting note on the subject from Mr. Baker.
