in the details of the story. Perhaps the geologists will be
a little disappointed in the small space devoted to the
geological record, but it is my feeling that, in the confines
of the gallery, if more space had been given to geology,
leaving less for archaeology, both subjects would have had
inadequate treatment. I have no doubt that Mr. Robertson
had a difficult choice to make, and when more space becomes
available (if it ever does), the geological display will be
treated with the same imagination as the archaeological.

BRYOPHYTE RECORDS OF EPPING FOREST
Mr. Neil Rumbol, of 14 Chestnut Avenue, Buckhurst Hill,
Essex, has begun work on Bryophytes in Epping Forest. He
is especially anxious to have old records, this century and
last, so that he can compare these with present-day
distributions, and so relate possible changes with pollution
and the like causes. If you have any information that could
be of help, please send it to him at the address above.

PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY
A note by the Public Relations Officer of the London
Borough of Havering, on revision of the 1963 map of Public
Rights of Way, reminds us that this kind of revision is
going on all over the county. The note says, "... it is
intended to reclassify certain foot-paths and bridle-ways
used by vehicles as 'by-ways open to all traffic' and the
term 'road used as a footpath' will be abolished. This is
a typical instance where members of the public are asked to
send details of any footpaths that they consider should be
reclassified as a Bridle Way or a By-way".
An informative "Guide to Definitive Maps of Public
Paths" is published by the Commons, Open Spaces and Foot-
paths Preservation Society, 166 Shaftesbury Avenue, London,
W.C.2., at 171/2p inclusive of post.
