Mr. Bourne has been good enough to submit to me most of the interesting specimens of Echinoderms which he obtained during his short stay on board H.M.S. “Research.” Coming so soon after the important collection made by the Rev. W. S. Green in neighbouring waters and at greater depths, it will, I think, suffice for me to treat this collection as an appendix to that, and to refer for a general discussion of such points as appeared worth noting to my report in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for December last.

A survey of 54 firesetters who had been in hospital or prison was conducted. The results confirmed earlier findings on several aspects, such as male predominance, unstable childhood and proclivity to self-injurious behaviour. Revenge emerged as the commonest motive overall and an association with alcohol was found. Only 11% of the fire-raising episodes, whether among hospital or prison groups, were truly trivial. Arsonists in prison and hospital had many features in common and generally were quite psychologically disturbed, which contrasted with those who set fires for profit. A poor outcome was found, with continuing self-harm and a high suicide rate. Our findings suggest that arson recidivism arises in at least 35% of arsonists.

In the paper on the Pendleside group at Pendle Hill, Q.J.G.S., vol. lvii, p. 377, I said, “The further facts of the distribution of Glyphioceras spirale and Posidonomya Becheri set forth in the fore-going pages open up the wide question of the age of the Culm beds of Devon and Germany.” Since then I have had the great advantage of examining suites of fossils from the Lower Culm of Devonshire, collected by Mr. Hamling, of Barnstaple, and Mr. Coom´rasw´my, from the Coddon Hill Beds and other localities in North Devon. I was so interested in the fossils that I found it necessary to go down and examine the beds in which they occurred, and Mr. Hamling gave me the inestimable advantage of his guidance. In this way we examined the Lower Culm and the underlying Pilton Beds in detail from West Leigh to Fremington, and the so-called Middle Culm of Bideford and other places. I was able to see the Hall collection of fossils at Barnstaple, and again to renew my acquaintance with Mr. Hamling's collection. This visit to Devonshire, it seems to me, was fortunately planned after a visit last Summer to the Devono-Carbonif'erous succession in the south-west of Ireland, and a study of the fauna in the collection of the Geological Survey at Dublin and in the Museum of Queen's College, Cork.

Coal Measures

In the south-west coal-field of east Glamorganshire—especially in the Lower Coal Measures–Mr. A. Tait, of Caerphilly, observed last year a white, soft, and pulverulent substance, saponaceous to the touch. A specimen sent to me, examined first and identified by Mr. T. Crook, was found to consist of a congeries of well-defined crystals of kaolinite. The crystals are chiefly basal flakes, hexagonal in outline, and 0.02 to 0.037 mm. in length. Most of them show elongation in one direction, and unequal extension of the thin lamellae composing them.
