:314 SHEPPARD : MARTIN SIMPSON AND HIS GEOLOGICAL MEMOIRS 
has been long delayed, but in February last, the London Geological 
Society did me the honour to award me nearly £30, " in recognition of 
my lifelong researches in the Palaeontology of the Jurassic llocks of 
Yorkshire." Under this high patronage I ventured on publication, 
though I cannot expect the work to obtain ready sale. My Geological 
Guide to the Yorkshire Coast is well received hy the visitors. 
Wishing you success in your arduous undertaking, 
I am. Dear Sir, 
Yours truly. 
To W. J. Veitch, Esq. Martin Simpson. 
Whitby ^Museum, 
October loth, 1884. 
Dear Sir, 
Thanks for the remittance. I sent off the book this morning by 
parcel post. There are good Lias Fossils in Chapman's shop, but I 
believe they are costly. I think you may collect some at Redcar, 
Coatham, etc., where Prof. Tate made great discoveries, and in the 
Junction Mine close at hand. You will have to be patient. It has 
taken us 62 years to collect what we have and have absorbed several 
private collections. All the private collections are gone : Bean's to 
the British ^Museum, £500 ; Leckenby's to Cambridge University, £800 ; 
AVood's (Richmond), £800, to York. Some time ago I went over to 
■Scarborough in pursuit of Oolite Fossils for our Collection, but I got 
none. Xo one was collecting. 
You will have many tastes to please, but scientific arrangement 
must be adhered to. 
Dear Sir, Yours truly, 
Martin Simpson. 
To Dr. Veitch.
