WILLIAM SMITH : HIS MAPS AND MEMOIRS

them to her grandson, who, in turn, gave them to the Scarborough 
Museum.* 
In the Third Report of the Scarborough Society, for 1832, it is 
recorded that a Geological Map of the Hackness Hills given to the 
Museum was " beautifully coloured by W. Smith." Dr. Irving, on 
making further search, states " This map, mounted on rollers, I find is 
still extant, but by exposure to light, has faded almost to vanishing 
point. Some years ago, it must have been rolled up and thrown 
aside." 
There is an interesting note in the Society's Fourth report, viz : — 
" Mr. W. Smith has been kind enough to colour for the Society Knox's 
Excellent Map of the Vicinity of Scarborough! ; he has also presented a 
minute geological map of the Hackness Hills. His pupil, Mr. Turn- 
bull, has received orders from Sir John Johnstone to colour Greenwood's 
Map of Yorkshire under the eye of this great British Geologist.'' Not 
one of these maps, however, is so far forthcoming. 
The Scarborough Philosophical Society has kindly given us the 
map which has recently come into their possession, and thus we are 
able to give a detailed description. It is 23 ins. by 36 ins. (without 
margins) lithographed, and, unfortunately, uncoloured. It is entitled, 
" Stratification in Hackness Hills / By W. Smith. / 1832/ 
W. Day, Lith^ to the King / 17 Gate St., Lincolns Inn 
Fields. / 
There is a " Scale of Furlongs (12 Chains to one Inch) " 
At the bottom left-hand corner is the key to the strata, which is far 
tnore elaborate and detailed than anything previously accomplished by 
3mith, and clearly shows that he was familiar with every part of the 
ground shown on the map. It is headed : — 
" Vertical Section of the Strata " and shows 
* The Scarborough Philosophical Society has since presented this 
nap to the Hull Municipal Museum.

the scarce " Descriptions Geological, Topographical and Antiquarian, 
in East Yorkshire, between the Humber and the Tees, with a Trigone - 
metrically surveyed map, extending twenty-five miles from Scarborough,
