keen-eyed antiquaries, and few of the many ways which 
connected them or branched out from them can now be 
perceived. The general bearing, however, of most of them 
is not unknown ; and if members of the Society or others 
li\ ing near the supposed line of them, or near any of the 
stations which the Romans are thought to have held, would 
employ their leisure in a careful examination of their neigh¬ 
bourhood, some useful knowledge might yet be recovered, 
which can be recovered by no other means.” 
It is not irrelevant to this subject to state, that a con¬ 
siderable number of Roman denarii having been lately found 
in the vicinity of Huddersfield, near the supposed site of 
the ancient Cambodunum, sixteen of the most perfect were 
purchased for the Society, and together with them, eight 
very rare and interesting British coins found at the same 
place, belonging to the class called the coins of Cunobelin, 
but for preservation and curiosity exceeding any, it is pro¬ 
bable, that have been before discovered. 
The same character of local research, in a different depart¬ 
ment of knowledge, enhances the value of a work published 
during the last year by one of the Officers of the Society, a 
work which has every where received the approbation of 
geologists, but which must here be regarded with peculiar 
satisfaction. Mr. Phillips’s excellent “ Illustrations” of the 
Geology of the eastern part of this county, may be con¬ 
sidered as the first fruits of the Yorkshire Museum, and have 
been the means of communicating to distant countries the 
information to be drawn from its collections.
