  • 90U0eum for Tbe Geat
    — iRcport of tfte Cutator of Caunton €a0tle 90u0eum for tbe geat 1902. OINCE the last Report, a considerable amount of general ^ progress has been effected, especially with regard to the “ Walter Collection.” Endeavours have been made to aug- ment, as far as possible, the educational value of the specimens that have been dealt with. An increasing interest in the Museum is manifest, and it is gratifying to be able to record that the attendance of visitors, “including members, — during the year has greatly exceeded anything previously recorded, the total reaching 7,444 ; an in- crease over 1901 of 47 per cent. The following is a Table of the number of visitors to Taunton Castle Museum during the last ten years : Year. No. of Visitors. Year. No. of Visitors. 1893 5,539 1898 5,082 1894 5,317 1899 4,978 1895 4,964 1900 4,740 1896 4,610 1901 5,047 1897 5,236 1902 7,444 The greater part of the year has been occupied by work in connection with the large donation made in December, 1901, by Mr. W. W. Walter. Owing to the fact that arrangements were made for temporary assistance, etc., most of this work was accomplished before the Opening Ceremony, on May 21st. Every specimen—and there are some hundreds—was firstly cleaned, ])reservatives being applied and repairs effected where necessary. A large proportion of the objects have been tick- eted in white oil-paint; others were written on in indelible ink : Curator's Report. 63 neatly printed labels have been glued on to all fragments of pottery ; and other specimens were found better adapted for ‘ tie-on ’ labels.

  • A New Geological Model to Explain the Gravity Gradient Across Exmoor, North Devon
    A new geological model to explain the gravity gradient across Exmoor, north Devon M. BROOKS, M. BAYERLY & D. J.

The model casts of 6-I km/s approaches to about 2 km of the further doubt on the existence of a major thrust surface. It is shown that the gravity field across under Exmoor. Exmoor and the Bristol Channel can be ex- I. Introduction SEVERAL LONG SEISMIC LINES in the Bristol Channel area, full details of which will be presented in later papers, give evidence of a basal layer of high velocity, in the range from 6. I-6. 3 km/s, which is interpreted as being of Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian age. This layer, which almost certainly does not represent the same geological formation under all lines, lies at shallow depth under the western part of the South Wales Coalfield, deepens southwards into the northern part of the Bristol Channel and rises rapidly towards the north Devon coast. Figure I illustrates reduced time-distance curves for two of the long seismic lines D and F, whose locations are shown in Fig. 2. On each line, a series of offshore shots was fired into a fixed array of land recording stations.
