    206 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. FEBRUARY 5th, 1875. ROBERT ETHERIDGE, Esq., F.R.S., F.G.S., &c., Vice-President, in the Chair. The following Report was read by the Honorary Secretary :- REPORT OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE FOR 1874. The General Committee have much pleasure in congratulating the Association upon the results of the past year. A considerable number of new Members have been added to the list, and several of these are already well known throughout the country, by their study and practice of Geological Science. There have been a few losses by death, and, if the number of those who have retired is somewhat more numerous than has been the case of later years, they consisted, with few exceptions, of Members whose interest in the proceedings of the Association was never very ardent. Members elected during 1874 49 Withdrawals 14, Deaths 4 . 18 Increase 31 The Census of the Association on the 1st January, 1875, gave the following results :- Honorary Members 12 Life Members. 42 Old Country Members 28 Other Members 257 339 The lamented death of Professor Phillips, reduces the number of Honorary Members to 12. A short notice of the sad occurrence, which deprived the Association of one amongst the most eminent 206 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. of its body, will be found in the forthcoming number of Vol. iv. of the" Proceedings." The financial position of the Association is very satisfactory, and the large number of Members now contributing has yielded a sum which amply provides for an increased expenditure, the benefits of which are shared by all.

  • James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
    The Geological Society of America Memoir 216 Revising the Revisions: James Hutton’s Reputation among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries A. M. Celâl Şengör* İTÜ Avrasya Yerbilimleri Enstitüsü ve Maden Fakültesi, Jeoloji Bölümü, Ayazağa 34469 İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT A recent fad in the historiography of geology is to consider the Scottish polymath James Hutton’s Theory of the Earth the last of the “theories of the earth” genre of publications that had begun developing in the seventeenth century and to regard it as something behind the times already in the late eighteenth century and which was subsequently remembered only because some later geologists, particularly Hutton’s countryman Sir Archibald Geikie, found it convenient to represent it as a precursor of the prevailing opinions of the day. By contrast, the available documentation, pub- lished and unpublished, shows that Hutton’s theory was considered as something completely new by his contemporaries, very different from anything that preceded it, whether they agreed with him or not, and that it was widely discussed both in his own country and abroad—from St. Petersburg through Europe to New York. By the end of the third decade in the nineteenth century, many very respectable geologists began seeing in him “the father of modern geology” even before Sir Archibald was born (in 1835). Before long, even popular books on geology and general encyclopedias began spreading the same conviction. A review of the geological literature of the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries shows that Hutton was not only remembered, but his ideas were in fact considered part of the current science and discussed accord- ingly.

' Note on Ovibos moschatus, Blainville.' By M. E. Lartet, For. Mem.G.S. Translated by the late H.Christy, Esq., F.R.S., F.G.S.— A hoof-phalange found by Mr. Christy and the author in the Gorge d'Enfer was stated to be identical in form and dimensions with the corresponding bone of the existing Ovibos moschatus, to which species M. Lartet therefore referred it. With it were found remains of Ursus speleeus, Felis spelaa, Wolf, Reindeer, and Aurochs, as well as worked flints differing from those found in any other of the Dor- dogne caves. The author remarked that the Gorge d'Enfer is the most southern locality at which remains of Ovibos moschatus have yet been found, and is 15° south of its most southern limit at the present day; but the Reindeer has been found by Mr. Christy and himself farther south still—on the northern slope of the Pyrenees. 2.

  • The Geology of the District Around St. David's, Pembrokeshire
    121 THE GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT AROUND ST. DAVID'S, PEMBROKESHIRE. By J. FREDERICK N. GREEN, B.A., F.G.S. [Read March 3rd, 191f.1 Advance copies of this Paper and of the Paper on Ramsey Island were printed and issued to Members in connection with the Easter Excursion of IgII. The two Papers are now reprinted with a few additions and alterations. INTRODUCTION. ---HE Council of the Geologists' Association have done me 1 the honour of appointing me Director of an excursion to St. David's.'*' My experience of the district is not extended, and during my stay there I have devoted myself wholly to the struc• tural problems, leaving on one side the zonal paheontology and surface geology. Most of what follows must therefore be looked upon as a compilation from the papers mentioned in the Biblio• graphy (p. 136). Further, the area has been very insufficiently worked, especially in respect of its remarkable glacial geology, so that in these notes there must be many imperfections, the elimination of which may, I hope, be advanced by our excursion. The structure of this region, properly named" Dewisland," has occasioned one of the most severe disputes in the history of British geology. This controversy attained grave proportions owing to its bearing on other areas and on the generalisations drawn therefrom. I should not have ventured to assume in these notes the correctness of the interpretation given by myself in 19°8, which substantially upheld the main contentions of the late Henry Hicks, who made this corner of Wales a classical district for the study of our oldest rocks, had I not been authorised by the kindness of Mr.

Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line.

    Reviews—Geological Survey, Annual Report. 233 It may be pointed out that if this hypothesis of the origin of the Palaeolithic brickearths (luring the reign of "steppe" conditions be accepted, it will account for the non-correspondence of the ancient channels with the present valleys, a thing very difficult to explain if the infilling were caused by ordinary fluviatile action. If the Paleolithic brickearth be equivalent to the Palaeolithic loess of the ancient deserts in Central Europe, it can be understood how during this period of cold drought the smaller streams ceased to flow and their valleys became so filled with rainwash and dust that when a moister climate recurred the streams had to geek new channels. BEYIE W' S. I.—ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND OF THE MUSEUM OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY, FOR THE YEAR 1896. By Sir ARCHIBALD GEIKIE, D.C.L., F.R.S., Director-General. 8vo. (London : Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1897.) HE Annual Keport of the Director-General of the Geological Survey since 1892 has contained particulars of the scientific Tand practical results obtained during the progress of the field-work, and by the officers of the palaaontological and petrographical depart- ments. Hitherto, however, the Eeport has been published only in the more bulky Report of the Department of Science and Art; and although reprints of the portion relating to the Geological Survey have been distributed, they could not be purchased separately by the general public. A new departure has now been made, and the present Report is published at the price of Qd., and in advance of the larger departmental volume.

Clarke remains something of an enigma in the annals of Australian science, despite the publication of numerous books and articles on his life and times. The author argues that this is mainly due to the deficiencies of previous researchers in addressing the full gamut of that Reverend gentleman’s work. Though the basic details of Clarke’s life are clearly known, numerous significant gaps exist in the surviving archive. For example, his personal collection of rocks, fossils, geological maps and library was destroyed in the Garden Palace fire of 1882; his large corpus of work which appeared in Australian newspapers between 1839-78 has only recently been identified; and a collection of personal correspondence awaits ‘translation’ and publication.

On the Web: <http://www.palass.org/> ISSN: 0954-9900 Newsletter 88 2 Editorial I have been a big fan of the Newsletter ever since I signed up to join the Palaeontological Association almost a decade ago. Whenever the Newsletter came in the post I would always sit down with a nice cup of tea and enjoy reading about what was going on with the other PalAss members and feel a real connection to the community. This was particularly true during a postdoc position in Germany working in a mineralogy department; the PalAss Newsletter arriving in my pigeon-hole was a joyous triannual event, helping me to feel part of a larger network of palaeontologists with research values and interests more in line with my own than those of my immediate colleagues. It is very much down to previous Newsletter editors and contributors helping to draw together this focus that keeps us connected between Annual Meetings. This is no easy feat with an ever-expanding membership that grows globally each year.
