Mercian Geologist
The 2007 issue (volume 16, part 4) has just been printed, but its distribution has been delayed to await a supplement on the Hines of Brassington. This is a joint publication with the Peak District Mines Historical Society, and has run behind schedule in their printing process. The new Mercian, with its supplement, will therefore be mailed to members and subscribers at the end of October. The Editor apologises for the delay.

Also, if any members have back issues of the Mercian which are now surplus to requirements, please could you contact our Secretary as we frequently get requests for back issues which we are now unable to supply. Any help would be appreciated.

For the contents of our journals please visit our Publications page and click on the latest journal.

Website Additions
The Local Geology Section has had a couple of additions courtesy of the 'Landmark of Geology' series featured in the Mercian. If anyone is pondering joining the East Midlands Geological Society then a read of these articles should whet your appetiite to the quality of material you could receive as a member in our Journal 'Mercian Geologist'.
