YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS* UNION. 
attraction, though it is difficult to understand why this should be, 
as they present many features of interest and many problems for 
solution. The Osmotherley meeting was not as successful as it 
might have been, owing to the unavoidable distance of head- 
quarters from the scene of operations. To the geologists, the 
meeting at Clapham was the meeting of the year. The attendance 
was large, and the fact that those present had the great privilege 
of the guidance of Professor T. McKenny Hughes, who has made 
a life study of the geology of the district, makes it almost un- 
necessary to record that much knowledge was gained of the 
Ordovician, Silurian, and Lower Carboniferous rocks, so well 
exposed in that area. Details of the geological observations 
made at the excursions have been published in " The Naturalist " 
for December.

reports: — The albums of g-eological photographs in possesion of 
the Union have not been circulated amongst the various asso- 
ciated societies so much during the past as in previous years. 
But where they have been exhibited they have been examined 
with considerable interest. 
The prints that have from time to time been sent by this 
Committee to the collection in the possession of the British 
Association, have also been appreciated, and their geological 
value felt, as the secretary has received applications from other 
parts of the country for duplicate prints of some of them. 
The following prints have been added to the Union's collection 
during the year : —
