Mottram, Dr A. Strahan, and Prof. Fearnsides have supplied some of the particulars of mineral output. Mr F. A. Darwin, Clerk to the County Council, has given details of existing administration. Mr Godfrey Bingley has given the use of his photographic negatives. The publishers of the Dictionary of N ational Biography have given permission to quote from that work the details (with a few exceptions) given in the Roll of Honour.
