of the north of England.

obtained have resemblances in the Yorkshire barrows preserved in the 
Mortimer Collection at Hull.

We learn from The Journal of Ecology recently issued that Mr. W. B. 
Crump, of Leeds, has presented his collection of lantern slides, prints 
and negatives of British vegetation to the British Ecological Society. 
Mr. Crump was one of the pioneers in the study of vegetation in this 
country in the last decade of the nineteenth century, and later a member 
of the British Vegetation Committee, from which the British Ecological 
Society sprang. Many of the photographs were taken in the northern 
counties. 
In the Summary of Progress of the Geological Survey for 1932 is a

and The Memoirs and Proceedings of the Manchester Literary and 
Philosophical Society. In the same publication C. E. N. Bromehead 
gives an account of the geological survey work in the York District ; 
W. B. Wright refers to Lancashire ; T. Eastwood reports on the Cumbrian
