Phear, Sir John B., M.A., F.G.S. Additional discoveries at the Castle, Exeter. With Plan, 147. In continuation of a former paper on the subject of certain discoveries made at the Castle, it may be re-
marked that on the 9th of October, 1891, a large portion of the inner face of the Castle wall fell, and, it having been decided to pull down the Keeper's Lodge and erect a new one in a better situation, its re- moval revealed the weakness of the Castle wall behind it; a great part had been on the top of an agger, or rampart of earth. In November the outer face fell; pho- tographs were taken, 148; the County Surveyor's description; the Castle Keeper's new Lodge, 149; skeletons, coins, and other things found under the floors; de- scription of the coins, "black money," 150.

Worth, R. N. Materials for a Census
of Devonian Granites and Felsites, 183. Although these rocks in different localities present an in- finite variety and dissimilarity of appearance, they are, in reality, closely allied to one another; the difficulty of tracing thin dykes to their origin; the Trowlesworthite specimen; De la Beche on the Granite quoted, 184; close rela- tionship between the elvans and the mass; Godwin-Austen's sugges- tion as to three periods of granite, now reduced to two, i.e., the granites and the elvans; the theory of a volcano, 185; the Cawsand felspathic trap at Withnoe, 186, 211; dyke of quartz porphyry near the Trias at Thurlestone; the granite of Dartmoor is later than the surrounding Carboniferous rocks, and earlier than the red- rock breccias, 187; a growing con- sensus that these breccias are Per- mian. List of Rocks, 188. Volcanic grit in Cattedown detritus, 190; a highly altered slate, fused by the granite, and almost wholly recon- stituted, and resembling a compact red felsite, 192; a schorlaceous griesen with golden mica, its parent rock not known, 196; vol- canic breccia, somewhat resembling the volcanic grit at Cattedown;
