In addition to these a number of local bibliographical 
works have appeared, ostensibly dealing with local topography, 
antiquities, etc., but which also include geological items. 
In 1895 the late J. Norton Dickons published Bibliotheca 
Bradfordiensis,-\ or a catalogue of Books, Pamphlets, etc., 
published at Bradford, 8vo, 241 pages. 
In 1906 the late J. Horsfall Turner published a work on 
Halifax Books and Authors (4to, 262 pages). Later, Mr. 
C. Crossland published a series of papers on ' Halifax Biblio- 
graphy and Authors,' in the Transactions of the Halifax 
Antiquarian Society. Parts III. and IV. of these contribu- 
tions dealing with natural history, and, of course, including 
geology, appeared in 1911 and 1912.
