T KEEPEE OF THE MUSEUM: Henry Maurice Platnauer, A.E.S.M., M.M.S. REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF THE YOEKSHIKE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, February 3rd, 1885. Luring a year of continued agricultural and commercial depression the Council are able to present their Report to the Members for the year 1884 under circumstances which they cannot but consider highly favourable. At the last Annual Meeting of the Society a scheme was approved for the purpose of consolidating the debt of the Society and to pay off the principal and interest by yearly instalments within a limited time. This arrangement has been effected. The total debt of the Society is £3,500, £1,900 of which was, until the recent arrangement due to the Insurance Company, on Mortgage at 4 per cent, interest. A further sum of £1,600 was due to the Treasurer, for which the Bank charged interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The total payment for interest for the year 1883 was £160 4s. lOd. The future yearly payment to be made, both in respect of principal and interest, will amount in the whole to £201 8s. Od., being £41 3s. 2d. only in excess of what was paid in the previous year for interest alone, but in the larger payment principal and interest are being gradually paid off and after a lapse of 30 years the debt will be entirely extinguished. The income of the Society is for the past year about the average, and the balance sheet will shew that a sum of £54 16s. 2d., being an excess of expenditure over income, is due to the Treasurer, but when it is considered that the cost of laying out the additional new ground contiguous to St. Mary’s Lodge has amounted to upwards of £80, and the cost of repairs of the Lodge, now occupied by Mr. Mann, at a rent of £50, 8 EEPORT OF THE has cost a further sum of £80, it will at once he seen that hut for this extraordinary expenditure a large balance would have heen in the hands of the Treasurer for the purpose of the Society. Gteology. — The additions to the Greological Department include donations from the following Gentlemen : — W. Eeed, Esq., F.G.S. ; J. F. Walker, Esq., M.A. ; Thomas Boynton, Esq. ; The Eev. C. B. Norcliffe ; Canon Eaine, D.C.L., and S. Chadwick, Esq. The work of the year has heen mainly the formation of a secondary collection. The reasons for forming the collection are as follows : — The great and increasing importance attached to the teaching of Science will not only cause a large number of students to turn their attention to Palieontology, hut will necessitate their having a deeper knowledge of the subject than they can possibly get by simply looking at specimens through the glass covers of cases ; but at the same time the Honorary Curator feels that it would be inconsistent with his duty as custodian of the specimens in the Geological Department to allow young and inexperienced students free access to the collection, especially as very many of the specimens are not only excellent of their kind, but could not possibly be replaced if destroyed. To meet this difficulty, it has been resolved to make a secondary collection from the duplicate fossils ; they will be fully and carefully labelled and arranged stratigraphic- ally in a cabinet (presented some little time back by the Honorary Curator) and in this form will be found very useful to anyone desirous of having something more than a superficial knowledge of Palaeontology. It has been felt most deshable that, where possible, the collections of this Museum should be made available, not simply for the specialist and collector, but for giving a practical groundwork to the ordinary student. As to the secondary collection itself, the Honorary Curator wishes it to be distinctly understood that it is not composed of specimens that are considered unfit for exhibition in the general collection ; on the contrary, no specimen is admitted into it which is so imperfect as to be useless or misleading ; they are COUNCIL FOR 1884. 9 all good and sound specimens which are not in the cases simply because they are already adequately represented. In fact, this collection may be fairly spoken of as a representative and typical series of Tertiary and Secondary remains ; it will necessarily be somewhat deficient in Palseozoic Fossils. Dp to the present the Tertiary and Cretaceous remains are arranged and labelled and the greater part of the Jurassic is also ready. In addition to the above, many of the Liassic and Rhoetic specimens have been remounted and labelled, a number of Eifelian (Devonian) specimens presented by J. F. Walker, Esq., M.A., have been named and inserted into the collection ; an excellent series of Brachiopods of the same age collected and named by that gentleman having also been added ; a valuable series of fossil fruits from the London Clay of Sheppey (presented by the Honorary Curator) has been put under glycerine in glass cells, and a number of Cretaceous and Jurassic fossils has been introduced. A collection of early historic mammalian remains intended to bridge over the gap between the Fen and Pleistocene periods and modern times has been commenced with a number of remains of Roman and Danish age, for which we are chiefiy indebted to the energy of our Honorary Curator of Antiquities, Canon Raine. In addition to the donations referred to further on, the collection has been increased by some fossils and rock specimens collected by the Keeper chiefiy from Grilling, Peak, Hayburn, Amotherby, Langton, Ayton, Appleton, and Hutton. Department of Antiquities. — The past year has not been a very eventful one in the Antiquarian Department. One Roman inscription has been added to the collection, an Altar dedicated to Silvanus by L. Celernius Yitalis, a cornet of the ninth Spanish Legion. This inscription possesses some features of considerable interest. Two small collections of Roman urns have also been acquired, one consisting of a selection of the Pottery collected by Mr. R. Smith when the New Railway Station was built ; the other, a set of vessels of remarkable interest and beauty discovered on the Mount in 1863 with the sepulchral memorial of Corellia Optata, which is already in our 10 REPORT OF THE Museum. By such purchases and gifts the collection of Eoman Antiquities in the York Museum, which has been for a long time unmatched in England, is able to give a better idea of the importance of the capital of Eoman Britain to the scholars and antiquaries of other countries. During the past year many Danish Antiquities in hone, glass, jet and amber, have been brought to the Museum together with a quantity of fragments of horns of the red deer and reindeer of a very large size. These remains illustrate the history of York during the two centuries which precede the Norman Conquest, when the City was under the rule of a series of Danish Princes subordinated to the rulers of the Heptarchy. The Curator may mention that during the past few weeks some excavations at the Blind School have revealed the founda¬ tions of the walls on the south side of the Choir of St. Mary’s Abbey, and there is every reason to believe that, as the work advances, fresh discoveries of a novel and remarkable character may be made. Mineralogy. — The arrangement and re-lahelling of the rest of the minerals has been completed ; so that now all the Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Magnesium minerals, toge¬ ther with the remainder of the Aluminium minerals, the compounds of the heavy Metals, the Hydrocarbons, &c., have been carefully gone through. Specific labels have been intro¬ duced in addition to the labels attached to individual specimens. The large specimens have been removed from the upper part of the case and placed in a glazed box beneath. A kind of exchange has been made with the British Museum, whereby in consideration of our giving two crystals of Hcematite (Scalenohedra capped with rhombohedron) we have received nearly 60 specimens, the new species being Stephanite, Pyrostnalite, Gigantolite, and Fahliinite, &c,, together with several pseudomorphs. Mr. J. F. Walker has also presented the Society with some specimens of South African Catseye^ Hduyn, Zircon, Enxenite, &c. In consequence of the weeding out of some inferior specimens, COUNCIL FOR 1884. 11 and the substitution of others, the collection, as exhibited in the cases, is in very good order. At the same time more space for exhibition is urgently needed ; the metalic minerals especially being very cramped. Some minor alterations in the present arrangement are under consideration. CoNCHOLOGiCAL DEPARTMENT. — Someprogresshas been made in arranging the general collection in the cabinet presented last year by Mr. Deed, for that purpose. A few new species have been added by gift or exchange, the most interesting being Pectunculus pilosus, and some shells from the Sandwich Islands. Entomological Department. — The collections are in good order, but have not received any additions during the past year except a small series of Foreign Diptera, presented by the Dev. F. 0. Morris. Comparative Anatomy. — The Curator has to report that the collection under his care is in good order ; a large number of the specimens has been re-labelled, the old labels being either unsightly or insufficient. The only additions made during the past year are some Chelonian bones. The collection, though containing many valuable and rare specimens, is still deficient in skulls of many of the more common animals. Mr. Platnauer will be glad if anyone willing to co-operate in this will communicate with him. Department of Ornithology. — The only addition made during the past year to the Department of Ornithology is Miss Barstow’s donation of two eggs of the Emu (Dromceus Novce Hollandoe.) A few of the birds in the Strickland Collection have been re-mounted, and two specimens of Apteryx australis (the New Zealand Kiwi)^ presented last year by the Rev. C. Meysey Thompson, have been mounted and placed in the collection. Library. — The Curator of the Library reports that during the year additions have taken place in the form of the numerous 12 REPORT OF THE scientific periodicals and publications subscribed for by tbe Society, and of the transactions of various learned societies which in most cases are presented to the Library. Several valuable works have also been added to the reference Library of the Greological department. In accordance with a resolution of the Council an attempt is being made to induce the Government to grant copies of the memoirs and other publications of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom. Obituary. — The Society has this year lost one of its honorary members, Ur. Augustus Voelcker, F.E.S., who died on the 5th of December. This eminent chemist was born at Frankfort-on-the-Maine in 1823, and educated at Gottingen. In 1849 he was appointed assistant to Professor Johnston at Edinburgh, and in 1852 professor of chemistry at the Eoyal Agricultural College, Cirencester. This post he resigned in 1862 for the professorship of chemistry offered to him by the Eoyal Agricultural Society of England. Dr. Yoelcker’s name is well known to practical agriculturalists as well as to scientific men ; a great advance in the science of agricultural chemistry has been made by his solid, useful and unostentatious work, the nature and value of which may be judged from his numerous papers in the Journal of the Eoyal Agricultural Society, Journal of the Chemical Society, &c. The immense importance of the application of chemistry to the cultivation of the soil need not here be dwelt upon. The words of Dean Swift may be well applied to Dr. Ycelcker that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of “politicians put together.’’ The Society has also to mourn the loss of the Eev. M. E. Bresher, for upwards of 25 years the respected Yicar of St. Martin’s, Coney street, in this city. Mr. Bresher was a COUNCIL FOR 1884. 13 member of the Council at the time of his death, and on previous occasions has rendered services to the Society. Mr. Bresher was a member of the University of Cambridge, where he graduated in honours in the year 1850, shortly after which date he settled in York, and for some years was Yice-Principal of the Training College, whence he was promoted by the Dean and Chapter of York to the Preferment which he held at the time of his death. Mr. Bresher always took a lively interest in the welfare of the Society, and died universally respected. The Council proposes for election as new members of Coun¬ cil, in room of the four who retire by rotation, the following members of the Society : The Town Clerk, Mr. Greorge Oldfield, Mr. Pichard Pearson, and Mr. Henry Cowling ; and the Pev. H. Lowther Clarke and Mr. Clark of the Friends’ School, Eootham, for one year in the room of the Pev. Mr. Bresher, deceased, and the Pev. T. B. B. Ferris, who has left York. The two latter will be re-eligible for election next year. METEOEOLOGY. In its long duration of genial weather, the past year has not been equalled since 1871 ; nevertheless, the total amount of bright sunshine has been less than in 1883, as will be seen by the percentages given upon the table. The distribution of sunshine is clearly of more importance than the total, whilst our records fail, of course, to give any sign of the enormous volume of the sun’s heat imported by the moist south-west winds. We may note that the bright sunshine in the Channel Islands was half as much again as with us ; in North Ireland, one-sixth less. Pain fell on 166 days, against 212 days in 1883, the total being under 20 inches as compared with over 33 inches. Nearly one-sixth of the fall took place upon four days in July ; apart from this, the aggregate for the last eight months was barely eight inches. October, the wettest month, had a rainfall of only three-quarters of an inch. The Barometer has had a very great range, the extreme, 14 REPORT OF THE being from 30*719 on October 5th and 30*607 on January 16th, to 28*226 on January 26th. The latter was the date of the lowest recorded fall in our Islands, 27*26 on the central track of the depression just south of the Grrampians. This was the only week of serious storms during the year ; but, on the other hand, there were only four records of “ calm.” The Thermometer has varied from 86*4° on August 11th to 21° November 30th. The coldest in the early months was 26*6° on April 24th; in January the thermometer did not fall below 31°. Auroras have been few and not specially brilliant. The remarkable Sun-glows have appeared and reappeared throughout the year, although with lessening splendour after sunset and before sunrise. The “ corona ” seen during the day,Jsilvery- white near the sun to various shades of rose and salmon further, has been much more persistent, having been visible on all favourable occasions. Possibly connected with this was a remarkable irridescent fringe of colours, such as are caused by diffraction, stretching along the upper edge of a haze-cloud situated 15° to 20° above the horizon from S.S.W. to N.W., lasting from before to long after sunset on December 13th. The phenomenon has been reported in “ Nature ” from many parts of North Britain and from Denmark on various dates during the same week. Here it was observed also on the 11th. In connexion with these phenomena and their possible source in the Krakatoa outburst, an eruption unparalleled within memory of man, it is worth recording that here, as the world over, astronomers have been troubled with unusually poor definition, more especially affecting day observations of the stars.

On tlie occurrence of Waldheimia Berna} dina in the Oxford r Clay of Cambridgeshire, by John Francis Walker, M.A., F.O.S. Some years ago, my friend C. E. Leeds, M.A., gave me a specimen of a Waldheimia from the Oxford Clay of Thorney, North Cambridgeshire. It had the usual black glossy appear¬ ance of the brachiopoda found in the Oxford Clay of Hunting¬ donshire, but it differed from the typical, JF. impressa found at St. Ives, in being a larger flatter shell, of a more elongated form, having its greatest width near the middle of the shell, tapering towards the beak, which is longer and less incurved than that of Waldheimia unpressa. Fine specimens of this species are preserved in the Museum of the Yorkshire Philo¬ sophical Society, having formed part of the Wood collection which was purchased and presented to the Society by W. Peed, F.C.S. Terehratula ( Waldheima) impressa was first figured by Zieten (Yersteinerungen Wiirtembergs, tab. 39, fig. 11) in 1832. It was obtained from the bluish marl between the J m’akalk at the Unter-oolith from Stuifenburg ; this bed was afterwards called the Impressa-thon. Therefore we must consider the Cerman specimens as the typical form, these shells are circular, and have the beak well incurved. 28 Oppel in his work “ Die Jnraformation” separated the Inferior Oolite specimens which hadheen referred to T. imjoressa and gave them the name of T. Meriana^ they are thicker shells gener¬ ally widest in the middle, and taper towards the front margin, often giving the shell a somewhat rhomboidal form, whilst W. impressa is circular, the beak in W. Meriana is also much in¬ curved. Both T. impre88a and T. Meriana have long loops and are therefore "Waldheimias. I may here state that several varieties of W, Meriana occur in the Inferior Oolite of Dorsetshire, which may require varietal names, especially a small form which abounds near Sherborne. The true W. impressa occurs in France at Boulogne-sur-mer in the zone of A. Lamberti^ as stated by Dr. Davidson in his valuable monograph on British Brachiopoda. It occurs in the same zone at St. Ives, Hunting¬ donshire, Terebratula (Waldheimia) Bernardina is described by D’Orbigny in his Prodome, 1847, as follows : — “ Espece voisine T. pala^ mais ovale-obronde, tronquee sur la region palle- ale, elargie an milieu ; la petite valve tres deprimee, avec un sillon au milieu (elle est quelquefois presque ronde.”) Numerous specimens referrred to this species are found in the Oxford CJay of Dives and Yillers, in Calvados France. As stated by Mr. Davidson, D’Orbigny omits T. impressa in his list of Oxfordien species, but gives it as a Bajocien species, this is the T. Meriana Oppel. But Oppel in his list of fossils found in the Oxford Clay Die Juraformation,” page 608) gives both Terebratula (Waldheimia) impressa and Terebratula (Waldheimia) Bernar- di)ia, he states that the latter resembles an elongated T. impressa. The question remains whether D’Orbigny included the true Oxfordien species, T. (W.) impressa, imdei his T. Bernardina ; if so, we must refer the species to Oppel, thus T. Bernardina Oppel=T. Bernardina D’Orb, The specimens which I have referred to W. Bernardina occur in England in a lower zone of the Oxford clay, being associated with A, Duncani, A. Athleta, Whether W. Bernardina should be regarded as a distinct species or only as a variety of W. impressa I will not attempt to decide, further than I would remark that W. impressa bears the same relation to IF”. Bernardina as the Inferior Oolite Species IF. Meriana does to 29 W. carinata. It is easy to connect together all the Cretaceous and Jurassic species of carinated Waldheimias, hut well marked forms distinguish different horizons. A new genus Aulacothyris has recently been formed by Douville to include the carinated Waldheimias. If the range of a species he increased and new genera he rapidly formed, we shall find that only names are altered, the term species will disappear, and the only division will he genera and varieties.
