of Scottish origin. A comparison with a similar bed on the 
Northumbrian coast, studied by Dr. J. A. Smythe, was made. 
The main Drifts of South-East Durham were briefly described, 
more especially in relation to the limits and direction of flow 
of that part of the ice-stream which carried Cheviot material in 
the last phase of the maximum glaciation of the east coast. 
The direct southerly or south-westerly movement of this ice 
towards the northern face of the Cleveland Hills at this period 
is indicated by striae, by the western limits of Cheviot material 
in this area and in Northumberland, and by the superficial 
mingling in the lower Tees Valley of the products of this ice 
with material brought at an earlier period over Stainmoor. 
The occurrence of Shap Granite and olivine-basalt erratics was 
indicated on a map. The conspicuous kaimes developed about 
the village of Sheraton and others, associated with the Cheviot 
Drift, were described. 
YORKSHIRE DRIFT. 
In the discussion Mr. G. W. Lamplugh commented on the 
general interest of the results obtained by the author. There 
could be no doubt that the material described as Scandinavian 
Drift was equivalent to the Basement Boulder Clay of York- 
shire, and indicated an early move of the ice-sheet inland from 
the sea-basin on the Durham coast. The speaker had prev- 
iously expected that the Pennine and Cheviot ice might have 
occupied this ground, early enough to exclude the eastern 
ice ; but the new evidence proved that such was not the case, 
and showed more clearly than ever that the ice from the 
present land-area was subsidiary throughout to the ice from 
the sea-basin. The succession of glacial events outlined by 
the author for the country north of the Tees was in close 
agreement with that indicated by the Drifts of the Yorkshire 
coast .

From The Fourth Annual Report of the Doncaster Municipal Art 
Gallery and Museum we learn that progress has been made in the various 
departments. The late Mr. H. Culpin's collection of coal measure fossil 
has been sorted and arranged, and a small aquarium has been placed in 
the entrance hall. The museum seems to be making a strong point of 
‘ by-gones.’ 
The Hull Museum continues to issue its penny publications. Since 
the last notice in this journal there have been published six Quarterly 
Records containing illustrated accounts of recent additions, which largely 
deal with folk-lore and early fishing and shipping matters. The guide to 
the Pickering Museum of Fisheries and Shipping has been reprinted anti 
is now in its third edition. The guides to the Wilberforce and Albion 
Street Museums have also been revised and reprinted. There is also an 
excellent record of the Museums Conference at Hull in 1913, containing 
the curator's extraordinary paper on ‘ Methods of Collecting.’ A List of 
the Yorkshire Seventeenth Century Tokens in the Museum, and an Anglo- 
Saxon Cemetery at Hornsea, are also among the recent publications.
