^{page 514 note 1} I am afraid that in many parts of the country there are so few amateur geologists that this area would have to be increased, at any rate at first.

^{page 514 note 2} It is very desirable that arrangements should be made for the co-operation of the Geological Survey or their local representatives with the Inspectors of Quarries appointed by the Home Office, and that the annual official list of quarries should describe the rocks which are worked, not only by their ordinary economic designations, but also by their recognized geological descriptions.

^{page 514 note 3} Those engaged in mining are already required to furnish mining plans to the Mining Record Office, but there is no obligation to give any geological information that may have been obtained. This office was formerly attached to the Geological Survey, but was transferred some years ago to the Home Office.

^{page 515 note 1} Since 1905 the Irish Survey, a small but enthusiastic band led by one of the most broad-minded of modern geologists, has been separated from that of the remainder of the country.

^{page 516 note 1} I should like to refer in this connexion to the excellent analytical work of Dr. H. F. Harwood, of the Chemical Department of the Imperial College of Science and Technology.
