CUP AND RING MARKINGS. 
The following appeared in the press during the printers' 
strike, which may be responsible : — ‘ Theories on Ilkley Cup 
and Ring Rocks. — Speaking at Ilkley, Mr. J. N. Size suggested 
that the cup and ring carved rocks on Ilkley Moor, might be 
really maps of stars with rings round those of greater magni- 
tude. Sir Sydney Oliver, who was present, remarked that 
there was evidence of a great migration across Europe of a 
people who buried their dead along with a gun. Was it 
possible, he asked, that these people had buried their dead 
in this country and carved a cup on the rock in default of the

A NEW MAGAZINE. 
The Review of Applied Mycology is intended to afford a 
monthly survey of the more important recent literature 
dealing with the diseases of plants, excepting those caused 
by animal parasites, and also to contain references to work 
on other aspects of applied mycology. It is not intended 
to cover exactly the same field as Botanical Abstracts, which 
remains the only journal that aims at giving a complete 
citation of all mycological and phytopathological literature, 
but will be specially directed to supplying to workers with 
restricted library facilities sufficiently full abstracts to en- 
able them to keep informed of the progress of current work. 
AN EXHIBITION. 
The exhibits that the Union are arranging in the Council 
Room of the Education Office, Albion Street, Hull, on the 
occasion of the British Association Meeting, Sept. 6th — 13th, 
seems likely to be a representative display, and well illus- 
trative of the extraordinary variety and intensity of the 
natural history work carried on by our members. On’ 
September 8th, at 5 p.m., Dr. Woodhead and the Officers 
and Members of the Union will be ‘ At Home ' to members 
of the British Association interested in natural history, and, 
after tea, exhibitors will have an opportunity of demon- 
strating their work to the visitors. The exhibition will also 
be open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. throughout the meeting, 
and will provide a splendid opportunity for members of the 
Union to see for themselves something of the wide range and 
diversity of the subjects in which the Union is interested. 
Members of the Union and of its affiliated societies who can 
visit Hull during this time are strongly advised not to miss 
this opportunity, and at the same time, by payment of the 
small sum of £i, they can become members of, the British 
Association for this meeting, and so enter a wider scientific
