NOTES on YORKSHIRE PALA:ONTOLOGY.
Large Mammoth’s Tooth at Aldborough.—On a joint excursion of
the Hull Geological Society and Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists’ Club
to Aldborough, on the 5th July, a very fine tooth of a Mammoth (4lephas
primigenius) was obtained. The specimen is in an excellent state of
preservation, and apparently belonged to a fairly young animal. In propor-
tion the grinding surface of the tooth is only small, being five inches across,
whereas the greatest length of the tooth is twelve inches. Its weight is
only a trifle short of fourteen pounds. It has been placed in the Hull
Museum.—T. SHEPPARD, Municipal Museum, Hull, 7th July 1902.
Pleistocene Fishes in South-East Yorkshire.—In the Geological
Magazine for February 1901, Mr. E. T. Newton, F.R.S., gives a list of all
the records of remains of British Pleistocene fishes known up to that time.
This includes a Perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) from the posi-Glacial lacustrine
deposits at Hornsea and Withernsea, and the Cod-fish (Gadus morhua L.)
from the pre-Glacial buried cliff at Sewerby. The former records are taken
from Clement Reid’s ‘Geology of Holderness’ (Geol. Surv. Memoir, 1885),
and the latter from G. W. Lamplugh’s * Drifts of Flamborough Headland’
(Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc,, Vol. 47, 1891).
To these records I am able to add remains of the Pike (sox luczus L.),
from the post-Glacial peat beds at Atwick, Hornsea, and Out Newton. The
latter station is between Withernsea and Spurn.—T. SHEPPARD, Municipal
Museum, Hull, 5th July rgo2.

NOTES on COLEOPTERA.
Habrocerus capillaricornis near Carlisle.—On 2nd March last, while
working flood refuse for Coleoptera on the Eden at Wetheral, I took eight
specimens of this beetle. They were all taken from one heap of refuse.
According to Fowler’s ‘British Coleoptera’ this species has not been
recorded from further north than Scarborough.—JAs. MuRRAy, 11, Close
Street, Carlisle, 9th June 1go2.
Agabus congener, etc., in Upper Teesdale.—During an early visit to
Upper Teesdale, on the 25th April, I took a specimen of Agabus congener
Payk. in a mossy pool on the slope of Mickle Fell. An old and somewhat
doubtful Askham Bog record appears to be all that is known of this
northern or subalpine species as a Yorkshire insect.
In the same pool were numbers of Hydroporus gyllenhali Schiddt.,
a common moorland water-beetle in the northern portion of the county.—
M. LAwsON THOMPSON, 35, Leven Street, Saltburn-by-the Sea, 22nd May
1902.
Chiznius vestitus at Bridlington Quay.—Canon Fowler says of
C. vestitus Payk. ‘not recorded from the north of England,’ but in hunting
up records for the Yorkshire List I found that Archdeacon Hey had
recorded in his diary taking it at Clifton, near York, in 1842, and that
Mr. E. A. Waterhouse had met with it at Studley. The Wentbridge record
is perhaps doubtful. However, no one seems to have taken it either on the
Yorkshire coast or in the south-eastern district of the county, so that I felt
much pleasure in capturing eight specimens of this conspicuous and
beautiful beetle on the cliffs midway between Bridlington Quay and
Sewerby. I found the insects running upon wet slopes of gravel and boulder
clay. The species has a wide distribution, for the last time I saw it was
near Cordova, in Spain, where, on turning over a big stone, I found it in
company with a yet finer (but non-British) species, Chlenius velutinus
Duftschm., and four young snakes! Insect-hunting in England is, perhaps
fortunately, not often accompanied with such lively incidents. —W. C. HEy,
West Ayton, Yorkshire, 9th July 1902.

NOTE on YORKSHIRE FLOWERING PLANTS.
Gagea lutea near Silsden.—I wish to place on record the occurrence
of Gagea lutea Ker., in Lower Airedale. On 13th April of the present year
a gentleman informed a Skipton friend of mine of a plant he had found ina
plantation at Swartha, Silsden. From his description my friend judged
that it must be none other than Gagea lutea, so he advised him to send on
a few specimens for identification. On 16th May I myself had the pleasure
of seeing these, and can therefore vouch for the specimens being, although
only mutilated ones, certainly Gagea lutea Ker. ; so that the record is one
of very great interest for the lower part of Airedale, seeing that Mr. F. A.
Lees in his ‘Flora of West Yorkshire’ does not give a single note of the
plant for that part of the Aire valley ; and considering that the plant has
during the last ten years been recorded in no less than three localities for
Wharfedale, it is very singular that it should not have been recorded for
Airedale before now.—LISTER ROTHERAY, Market Square, Long Preston,

Dr. A. W. Rowe, F.G.S., who has done so much work on the Zones of
the White Chalk of the South of England, has recently visited Yorkshire.
together with Mr. C. Davies Sherborn, F.G.S. These gentlemen spent
some weeks on the magnificent cliff sections around Flamborough Head-
land, and the result of their work is awaited with interest.

Probably one of the most important contributions to the Glacial literature
of our northern counties that has been made for some time is a paper by
Professor P. F. Kendall, F.G.S., the President of the Yorkshire Naturalists’
Union, recently read to the Geological Society of London. This was on
‘A System of Glacial-Lakes in the Cleveland Hills... The paper will
probably appear in extenso in the next issue of the Society's journal.
Mr. Edward Lamplough, of Hull, has issued a: book of ‘Hull Sonnets’
for private circulation, several of them dedicated to naturalist friends :-—
‘For often: underneath the blue
We've trod the grass and plucked the scented bloom,
And vowed it was a joy to simply live
And revel ‘mid the greenwood and the dew,
Wrapped in the gay breeze and its rich perfume.’

LINCOLNSHIRE NON-MARINE MOLLUSCA.,
H: WALLIS KEW, F.Z.S.,
London; formerly of Louth, Lincolnshire..
FIFTEEN years have now elapsed since the publication of Mr.
Roebuck’s admirable ‘ Materials towards a List of the Land
and Freshwater Mollusca of Lincolnshire,’ which appeared in
‘The Naturalist’ for August 1887. Since that time, owing in
great measure to Mr. Roebuck’s continued interest in the subject
and to the enthusiasm which he has transmitted to others,
important additions have been made; and within the knowledge
of the present writer there are conchologists in Lincolnshire
who do not possess a long series of volumes of ‘The Naturalist’
and are thus in ignorance of the exact constituents of the non-
marine molluscan fauna of the county. Is view of this fact it
seems useful to mark a list of British species to show at a glance
those which have, and those which have not, been found within
our area. This is now done, and it is hoped that its publication
will stimulate Lincolnshire conchologists to a more careful
search for such of the unrecorded species as may reasonably be
expected to occur, e.g., Acicula lineata, Hygromia fusca, Azeca
tridens, Vertigo antivertigo, etc. Asa further encouragement it
may not be improper to say that Mr. Roebuck hopes to give, at
a future date, a new and full account of the subject, with all
necessary details of localities, and proper acknowledgments of
the work done by each collector.
In addition to the unequivocal land and freshwater mollusca,
the present list is made to include -lss’minea, Paludestrina, and
all the British Pulmonata, although some of these are in a
certain sense marine, living in more or less brackish water, or
leading a semi-terrestrial existence under the influence of the
sea. A few species which do not belong to our fauna, but
which have established themselves in our midst, are also
included: but, on the other hand, certain forms—somewhat
recently described or brought forward as British—about the
status of which difference of opinion is understood to exist, are
omitted. In this way we arrive at a total of 149 species; and
of this number 110 have already been found in Lincolnshire.
The vast majority of the specimens have been collected by
Mr. Roebuck himself, or submitted by their finders to the
referees of the Conchological Society as formerly constituted at
Leeds; and in all cases where the contrary is not indicated
1902 August fig
262 Kew. Lincolnshire Non-Marine Mollusca.
Mr. J. W. Taylor has been made responsible for the deter-
mination of the shell-bearing species and Mr. Roebuck for the
slugs. One must not omit to mention in this place the good
work done by Mr. C. S. Carter, of Louth, whose name is
associated with six recent additions to the county-fauna, viz. :—
Vertigo angustior and Vitrea luczda, collected by himself at
Somercotes and Welton Wood; Pupa secale and Pyramidula
rupestris, collected by Mr. R. Worsdale and Mr. H. Preston
near Grantham ; /Peszdium henslowanum, collected by the Rev.
EK. A. Woodruffe Peacock and by the writer in the Ancholme
district ; and Paludestrina jenkinsz, collected by Mr. Carter at
Tetney and by the writer at Cleethorpes.
As regards arrangement and nomenclature, the outline
classification here employed resembles that of Pelseneer’s
‘Introduction a l’Etude des Mollusques’ (1894); the genera
of Helicidze are those approved by Pilsbry in his ‘ Guide to the
Study of Helices’ (1894); and the general arrangement of the
Pulmonata Stylommatophora is that of the same author’s
‘Catalogue of the Land Shells of America North of Mexico’
(1897-8). For the rest the list is largely based on the Con-
chological Society’s catalogue of 1892; but valued hints have
been taken from the list appended by Kennard and Woodward
to their ‘ Post-Pliocene Non-Marine Mollusca of the South of
England’ (igor). In all cases where a species figures as
a member of our fauna in Jeffreys’ ‘British Conchology’ (1862-9)
the name used by that author is added in square brackets. The
world has moved apace since the publication of this delightful
work; and in common with a large number of colleagues, the
present writer looks forward with confidence, and some im-
patience, to the time when the completion of Mr. Taylor’s
‘Monograph of the Land and Freshwater Mollusca of the British
Isles’ will furnish our conchologists with a modern text-book
and a uniform system of nomenclature.

cating the two principal papers on Lincolnshire Non-Marine
Mollusca (those of Mr. Ball and Mr. Roebuck), and the pub-
lished records of the finding of additional species from time to
time.

NOTES on LINCOLNSHIRE MOLLUSCA.
Pyramidula rupestris near Grantham.—Among a collection of shells
gathered at Great Ponton, near Grantham, Div. 15, and sent to me on 28th
June by Mr. R. Worsdale, I found about twenty specimens of Pyramidula
rupestris. Their identification has been verified by Mr. J. W. Taylor.—
C. S. CarTER, 8, Bridge Street, Louth, 4th July 1902.
Hyalinia lucida near Alford, North Lincolnshire.—On 14th July
1900, when the Louth Antiquarian and Naturalists’ Society had an excursion
to Welton Wood, Div. 11, a few miles from Alford, I searched for mollusca.
Only a few specimens were found, and these I put away in a box.
During a recent visit to Louth, Mr. H. Wallis Kew, F.Z.S., examined my
collection, among them the Welton Wood specimens, one of which he
suggested was possibly flyalinia lucida, its torm and texture correspond-
ing with that species, but it was small in size. I have since submitted it to
Mr. J. W. Taylor, who has identified it as Hyalinia lucida. It was found
under a large piece of timber in a disused chalk-pit along with H. helvetica, .
H. crystallina, Helix arbustorum var. alpestris, H. hispida, Clausilia biden-
tata, and C. laminata.—C. S. CARTER. 8, Bridge Street, Louth, 4th July
1902.
Paludestrina jenkinsi in Lincolnshire.—Specimens of this now
notorious mollusc—Paludestrina jenkinst (Smith)—were found by Mr. C. S.
Carter and the writer on 17th April last in small ditches communicating
with the North Fitties Drain on the landward side of the bank at Tetney,
and just within the district of the estuary of the Humber. On the following
day, moreover, a very numerous community of this species was found living
in a dirty pool by the Grimsby Road at Cleethorpes, in company with small
examples of Limnea pereger. The Tetney shells were chiefly of the
ecarinate form; but the vast majority of those from Cleethorpes were
distinctly keeled and often beautifully tufted. Mr. Edgar A. Smith, of the
British Museum, has kindly confirmed the identity of this animal, which is
new to the county of Lincoln, but not to the Humber, being already known
on the Yorkshire side, near Hull.—H. WALLIS KEw, London, roth July 1902.
Pupa secale in South Lincolnshire.—When visiting the Rev. E. A.
Woodruffe Peacock, at Cadney, on 22nd and 23rd May, I had the pleasure
of examining his collection of Lincolnshire land and freshwater shells.
Among them I found a tube containing a single specimen of Pupa secale,
with label saying ‘Grantham, 1go00, R. Worsdale.’ Mr. Peacock informed
me that he found it among a few Auliminus obscurus sent to him by Mr. R.
Worsdale, of Grantham. As this species has not been recorded for the
county, I wrote to Mr. Worsdale for its exact locality ; he replied they were
found on Hall Hills, Grantham. Since writing he has sent me a collection
of local shells, and among them another specimen of Pupa secale from the
same spot. Mr. Peacock informs me that this identification has been
verified by Mr. J. W. Taylor.—-C. S. CARTER, 8, Bridge Street, Louth, 3oth
June 1902.

NOTES on LINCOLNSHIRE MOLLUSCA.
Pisidium henslowanum and Band-Formula 12045 of Helix
nemoralis near Brigg.—Other specimens of interest which I also saw at
Cadney were Piszdium henslowanum and the curiously and somewhat scarce
banded form of Helix nemoralis (12045). The former was taken by Mr
Peacock at Cadney, toth March 1900; the latter were found in 1900 living
at Bottesford and dead at Ingoldmells in 1901.—-C. S. CARTER, 8, Bridge
Street, Louth, 30th June 1902. Gs nie
Pisidium henslowanum in Lincolnshire.—Although easily recog-
nisable and far from scarce, this molluse—P. henslowantum (Shepp. )—which
I took from one of the drains by the Ancholme, near Appleby, in April last
does not appear to have been previously published as a Lincolnshire species.
The Rev. E. A. Woodruffe Peacock, however, has a specimen taken at
Cadney in 1900, and he has recently communicated to Mr. C. S. Carter, of
Louth, a caddis-case from South Kelsey, on which are four of these shells.
Mr. J. W. Taylor has obligingly confirmed the naming of my specimen.—
H. Wat is Kew, London, roth July rgoz2. :
Mollusca from Grantham District.— As comparatively little work
among the mollusca of South Lincolnshire has been done, the following
list of shells, collected in the immediate neighbourhood of Grantham, and
sent to me on 7th June by Mr. R. Worsdale, may be of interest :—
Hyalinia cellaria var. albina. One specimen.
flyalinia helvetica. Hyalinia nitidula,
Hyalinia crystallina.
Flelix rotundata. flelix pulchella.
Flelix lapicida. Four very good specimens, ‘found in one spot on a wall
at Great Ponton.’ Mr. Worsdale remarks that he could not find a sinele
specimen a yard from the spot. i
Flelix nemoralts vars. libelliula (123)(45) and rubella : : 345, 00300.
Helix hortensis vars. lutea 00000, 12345 and roseolabiata ooooo.
flelix arbustorum.
Helix cantiana. One immature specimen found at Somerby Hill.
flelix rufescens. flelix hispida. ;
Flelix itala. ‘ Railway embankment near Grantham.’
Helix virgata vars. albicans and subalbida. Somerby Hill.
Bulimtnus obscurus.
Pupa secale. One specimen. Pupa muscorum.,
Clausilia bidentata var. everetti.
Cochlicopa lubrica var. lubricoides. One specimen.
Ancylus fluviatilis.
The following were taken from the canal between Grantham and
Harlaston :—
Succinea elegans.

Limnea auricularia var. albina, One specimen,
Limnea palustris.
Vivipara vivipara.

Pupa ringens at Flamborough Head,—Near the Lighthouse are
some slopes of boulder clay covered with moss through which water
trickles. Here I found Pupa ringens in abundance last June. | notice this
species prefers moss through which water passes, whereas Vertigo anti
vertigo affects moss by stagnant pools.—W. C. Hey, West Ayton, 9th

NOTE on LAKELAND PLANTS.
Bog-Orchis in Lake-Lancashire and Westmorland.—In his Flora,
appended to the new Lake Counties Guide (J. M. Dent & Co.), Mr. Petty
mentions that the last record for the Bog-Orchis (Malaxis paludosa) in
Lake Lancashire is one hundred vears old. It may be well, therefore, to
record my acquaintance with it there. It was found between the Esthwaite
and the Grizedale valleys in August 1892, by Mr. Webb, a young botanist
staying in the neighbourhood. A careful description led me to the spot,
where it grew in a rill of rushes, fostered by water gathering from the
Hawkshead fells, and but just beginning to trickle down towards Grizedale.
I went and found it again in the two following years. An unrecorded
habitat for the plant in Westmorland is on Loughrigg, where I have
seen it for a number of years.—SOpHIA ARMITT, Rydal, 17th June tgoz.

NOTE on LINCOLNSHIRE MAMMALS.
Otters at Great Sturton, Lincolnshire.—I senda note on two Otters
(Lutra lutra) shot by Mr. G. Wattam, farmer, on or about 30th March 1go1
in the parish of Great Sturton.—A. E. JARvis, Brussels, 15th July rgo2.
He says :—I went to scare Crows off a field of newly-sown barley, and
just walked round a pond situated about a quarter of a mile from the river
Bain, as I always do when near it, as it is a favourite place for game,
Rabbits and Wild Duck, when in season. A lot of willows, thorns, and
long grass grow up in and around the pond, and make good covert. On
this day I saw something under the bushes, and supposing it to be a stray
Cat I fired my gun, and something reared itself up, which I saw was not
a Cat, but could not tell what it was; so fired again, and on going to look
found to my great surprise not only one but two Otters. I brought them
away and had them stuffed—they were both females, mother and daughter,
one being older and bigger than the other. My brother has the mother
and I have the daughter. They had made a kind of bed of dead grass
under some of the thorns and willows, which had been cut down, and were
curled up asleep like two kittens.—GEORGE WatTTAM, Highgate House,
Great Sturton, Lincolnshire.

NOTE on LAKELAND BIRDS.
Migration of the Pied Flycatcher, etc., in Northern England.—
Mr. Butterfield’s note on the migration of the Pied Flycatcher (Licedula
atricapilla) is interesting and suggestive. Is it not possible that this species
may reach its breeding ‘haunts i in ‘Westmorland and Cumberland by a route
across Yorkshire from the East Coast? Birds migrating, that turned inland
at the Humber mouth, might penetrate the river vallevs to their source in
the Pennines; then, crossing the gaps in. the range, find themselves in a new
network of streams, up which they would pass and settle. Birds tracking
up the river Ure, for instance, would find themselves upon the source of the
Eden (the old stronghold of the species) almost at once. Or, turning
the other flank of Baugh Fell, they would be upon Morecambe Bay, with
the Lakeland rivers open to them. In the same vear in which Mr. Oxley
Grabham reported the species as unusually numerous in the Yorkshire
dales it likewise arrived here in great numbers. This year it was very
early in its appearance. Late and cold as the season has proved all through,
there was yet one fluctuation, when, fora few days in mid-April, warm, light
breezes blew, which carried up objects such as dead leaves to sail high like
kites. These breezes appeared to bring birds, that were then travelling, on
with a rush; and a number of male Pied Flycatchers had arrived at their
old nest-stations on the morning of 18th April, and were singing volubly.
This is three days earlier than I have personally met with the species
before. The Blackcap Warbler (Sp/vza atricapilla) appeared on the same
day.—Mary L. ArmiTT, Rydal, Westmorland, 17th June 1902.

JEW’S EARS PIE AND OTHER DAINTIES.
W, NORWOOD CHEESMAN,
Selby; Member of the Vorkshire Mycological Committee.
OO
A FEW weeks ago I accepted a long-standing invitation to spend
the day with a farmer friend and taste Jew’s Ears Pie for dinner.
The morning was spent in viewing stock and crops, which made
us late for the dinner. Our appetites were right, and the pie
was right too. Certainly it contained other ingredients besides
the ‘Hebraic external auricular cartilages,’ juicy and tender beef-
steak being particularly noticeable. The ‘boys’ had been in to
their dinner and the pie was half consumed. This inspired me
with confidence, and we paid the cook the compliment of leaving
the dish empty and pronouncing the repast a kingly one. During
an after-dinner pipe the farmer told me that he gathered the fungi
on a ‘dry bank.’ This aroused my curiosity and anxiety, as the
Jew’s Ear fungus* (Avrneola Auricula-Jude) only grows on
Elder wood. I secured a small dried fragment of the repast and
it reminded me very much of a feszza. On arriving home
I submitted it to a microscopic test and found the spores in asci
(Ascomycetes), and further examination proved the specimen to
be Peziza repanda Wahlenb. So after all the disappointment
was compensated by the fact that another species was added to
the record list of my district, and a ‘new to science’ one to the
list of known esculent fungi.
Some years since there flourished an old Selby worthy who
spent his time between the workhouse in winter and gathering
Watercress, Buckbean, ‘Sanctuary’ (Aryihrea centaurtum), and
Mushrooms in summer. He answered to the name ‘Three
keels,’ for his younger days had been spent as a freshwater
sailor, and at one time he was the owner of three keels, but his
thirst-quenching proclivities had induced him to swallow them.
The man was bringing into town one day, in his basket,
some Champignons (Marasmius oreades) when a gentleman
accosted him with, ‘My good man, you are surely not going to
sell those things to the people? You will poison them!’ He
replied (with a twinkle in his eye as he told me), ‘Noa, aam
goin’ to eeat ’em mesen; aam not quite reat e’ me eead.’
And certainly the effect on the man’s appearance of swallowing
‘three keels’ did not belie the latter part of his statement.

Marasmius is a very palatable dish of a delicate mushroomy
flavour, but somewhat leathery and requiring some mastication ;
but is not at all objectionable on that account.
A noted authority on edible fungi, now gone to rest, when
questioned by his friends as to how he obtained knowledge of
this kind, jokingly observed that he recorded the effect of new
dishes upon his wife and family before venturing himself to taste
new species.
My ‘three keel’ friend had not the advantages for research
as had the above eminent mycologist, as he ‘enjoyed’ single
blessedness to the end of his days and died in the workhouse,
aged 83, still desiring another ‘keel’ to swallow; nevertheless
the man was deeply interested in the esculent properties of
fungi, and he has certainly added a little to the stock of know-
ledge on this subject.
In the late autumn and early winter, when toothsome fungus
dishes are scarce, large quantities of the Ring TZ+rzcholoma
(Agaricus grammopodius) are found here in damp pastures grow-
ing in rings (fairy rings), after the manner of A/arasmtus oreades.
My ‘three keel’ friend tried this and found it a good thing, and
sold to the Irish field-workers in our district a good stew for
a mere trifle, and since his demise other experts have arisen
who collect for this class of people large quantities of the
fungus; occasionally I have specimens brought to me for veri-
fication, with inquiries if they are the same as ‘Three keels’
discovered and recommended. I have not tasted this fungus
myself, but am told by those who have that it makes a very
good meal with a few potatoes, ‘but that it does not require
any pepper.’
The Beefsteak Fungus (/7stulina hepatica) is common here
on Oak stumps and in sawmill yards. It has a distinctly meaty
taste, and when well cooked with plenty of seasoning is not to
be despised. It may easily be distinguished from all other fungi
by its red beefsteak-like appearance. In size it grows from
a few inches to a foot or more in diameter.
Several of our woods produce one of the English Truffles
(Elaphomyces granulatus). These grow from six inches to a foot
below the surface in light sandy soil, and may be found by a
parasitic fungus (Zorrubza ophiglossoides) appearing above the
surface. Cooked any way either to flavour bread stuffing for
fowls or fried whole, it forms a good substitute for the fifteen
shillings per pound Truffle from France (Zuber estivum).

The Morel (Morchella esculenta) is a rare fungus in this
district, but 1 occasionally have a dish sent to me from Par-
lington Park by a woodman who teils me they readily fetch
half a crown a pound at Leeds. Some time ago I examined
under the microscope a drop of ‘commercial’ ketchup and found
it consisted almost entirely of the spores of a Coprinus, probably
C. comatus, certainly not Agaricus campestris or A, arvensts.
The Helvellas (Helvella crispa and H. lacunosa) and Hydnum
repandum, all well-known edible fungi, are only found sparingly
here, and it is many years since | tasted them cooked; but they
make an agreeable bonne bouche during a long tramp on a
fungus foray, when the sandwich-box is empty and the flask
is dry.
If anyone has the courage to ask his cook to prepare a
breakfast dish of young puff-balls (all species are good) they
will be found equal to button Mushrooms, only they must be
young and slice up white; when brownish and old, and when
the spores are formed, they acquire a musty flavour.
I have tried a mixed dish of Clavarzez (club and coral-shaped
fungi), with the result that I have great faith in the possibilities
of the whole family as a food product.
As Nature has with such a lavish hand scattered fungi over
our land, and indeed over all our globe, it seems a pity that our
knowledge of the edible properties of fungi is so scanty and
uncertain. It is true there is no royal road to the discrimination
of the esculent from the poisonous species; but, as we find
amongst the Phanerogams Orders like Ranunculacee, Papa-
veraceeé, Umbellifere, Solanaceae, Scrophularinee, Luphorbiacee,
etc., containing some distinctly poisonous species, and nearly all
the species of those orders of a suspicious character, so we
find other natural orders like Cruczfere, Rosacee, Composite,
Boraginee, producing species none of which are poisonous, but
all innocuous, and many valuable as food plants. Cannot in
like manner the fungi be divided into Divisions, Orders,
Families, or at least Genera having poisonous or non-poisonous
properties? Of the former we have Amanita, Russula, Boletus,
etc., and of the latter the genera Psallzota, Coprinus, Marasmius,
Hydnum, Fistulina, Hirneola, Tuber, Morchella, Helvella, etc.,
and the Orders Clavariet, Trichogastres, etc.
May I suggest to the Chairman and Secretary of our Myco-
logical Committee of research that this branch of economic
botany be considered at the next Fungus Foray, which takes
place at Arncliff, near Whitby, in September. .

NOTES on YORKSHIRE BIRDS.
Rook with Recurved Beak near Barnsley.—On 17th May I saw,
perched on one of the telegraph wires near the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Station here, a Rook (Zrypanocorax frugilegus) with the beak much
recurved. It is impossible for me to say whether the malformation affected
both upper and lower mandibles, probably the former only. The length of
the beak was fully twice that usual in the bird, and gave to it a most curious
appearance.—E. G. BAYFORD, Barnsley, 15th June 1902.
Unusual position for Nest of Sedge-Warbler, Hornsea Mere. —
During the excursion of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists’ Club to
Hornsea Mere, on 28th June, a nest of a Sedge-Warbler (Acrocephalus
phragmitis) was noticed in a Willow tree, at a height of ten feet from the
ground. It contained four eggs and had every appearance of the nests
usually built among the reeds, with the exception that it was built amongst
the young shoots of the Willow tree. The tree was situated many yards from
the water’s edge.—T. SHEPPARD, Municipal Museum, Hull, 2nd July 1902.
Hull Museum: the Swailes Collection of Eggs.—Mr. George
Swailes, of Beverley, has presented to the Hull Municipal Museum the col-
lection of eggs of British-breeding birds, got together during twenty years’
collecting by his brother, the late Mr. Johnson Swailes, of Beverley. There
are nearly 1,300 eggs, and many of them are of great value and local
interest. The collection is well known to north country ornithologists, who
will be pleased to hear that it has been permanently secured to the district
through the kindness of Mr. G. Swailes.—T. SHEPPARD, Municipal Museum,
Hull, 4th July 1902.
Hawfinch at Huddersfield.—Noticing that the peas in my garden were
being rapidly taken by birds, last evening I had them netted. This morn-
ing, on going past them, my son found that a Hawfinch (Coccothraustes
coccothraustes) had got beneath the nets, and he was able to catch it at
once. It was an adult specimen in beautiful plumage. After an exami-
nation of it in the house, during which it showed me the strength of its
powerful beak on my flesh, I set it at liberty. The peas were so surrounded
with netting we hoped they would effectually keep off birds, and it shows
the fearless boldness of this species that it should at once discover a small
opening and get under. A single Sparrow (Passer domesticus) was in with
it, but my son says there were a number of other sparrows outside vainly
endeavouring to get in.
I recorded a young Hawfinch from close by here last year; and I had
previously seen one on another side of the town, so apparently the bird is
not so rare here as we formerly supposed.—GEo. T. PORRITT, Crosland
Hall, near Huddersfield, 9th August 1902.

Hawfinch in Westmorland.—On the authority of Mr. W. Duckworth,
of Penrith, it is recorded that a Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)
was found dead on a farm in North Westmorland on 15th April last.—
T. SHEPPARD, Hull, 22nd July 1902.
Hawfinches in Westmorland.—It may be of interest to note, in
connection with Miss Armitt’s remarks on the Hawfinch (Coccothraustes
coccothraustes) as breeding at Rydal, Westmorland, that just about the time
of receiving my ‘ Naturalist’ for August a young specimen of this bird
was placed in my hands. It had been caught in a Sparrow-trap along with
Sparrows at Levens, in South Westmorland. Similarly, about a fortnight
previously, another specimen was caught in exactly the same way and at
the same place. Last year another young one was shot near Arnside; this
was stuffed and is now in my possession.—G. STABLER, Levens, Westmor-
land, 13th August 1902.

YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT COXWOLD
AND KILBURN.
Rev. T. AINSWORTH BRODE, B.A.,
Vicar of St. John’s, York.
THe Whit-Monday Excursion of the Yorkshire Naturalists’
Union is generally a popular and well-attended outing, and this
year’s fixture was no exception to the rule. Those who were
not deterred by the doubtful character of the weather had their
reward in a very enjoyable day. The weather was not perfect,
but a mackintosh and a pair of stout boots were provision
enough to make against the one or two heavy showers which
were the only really unpleasant features of the day. As our
moemilyeeecesident said, “Think what it~ might have been!’
Then again, beyond the natural beauties of the locality and
apart from the objects of varying interest to members as
naturalists, there was the added pleasure of seeing the pretty
village of Coxwold, the fine church with its octagonal tower,
and the house where Laurence Sterne wrote ‘Tristram Shandy’
in 1758; and to some of the party the no less pleasure of visiting
Byland Abbey (which was built about 1180 A.D. by some monks
who originally came from the Abbey of Furness), the ruins of
which are even now of great beauty. On these and other points
of antiquarian interest those who were able to spend the week-end
in the neighbourhood scored considerably.
The main body of naturalists, under the able guidance of Mr.
J. Richardson, went by a pathway behind the village of Coxwold
across the fields and into the lane by Kilburn Thicket to
Oldstead. There they parted into two divisions, one of which
went to Scotch Corner and on to Roulston Scar, returning to
Coxwold via Kilburn; and the other, reinforced at Oldstead by
some entomologists and belated botanists, went up Oldstead
Bank, and finding the time short, made for Coxwold by the lane
between Oldstead and High Kilburn, joining the returning
geologists just outside Kilburn village.
Mr. T. W. Woodhead, F.L.S., reported that the botanists
had an excellent day, but it soon became evident that the time
at their disposal was all too short to examine in detail the large
and interesting tracts of country included in the excursion. In
consequence of this fact attention was largely confined to the
hedgerows, which proved luxuriant and varied, and well repaid
research. After leaving the station, where a fine patch of

Galitum erectum was seen, abundance of Svtellaria nemorum
occurred in the hedge where the path began, close to the village,
while here and there might be seen S¢ellaria media var. neglecta.
Close by was noted Rubus alpinus. Prunus spinosa (Blackthorn)
was a striking feature, and Rzbes grossularia (Gooseberry) fre-
quently recurred. In the old pastures, across which the path
led, Ophioglossum vulgatum (Adder’s Tongue) and Botrychium
Zunarta (Moonwort) were plentiful ; and the horse-ponds yielded
Veronica Beccabunga (Brooklime), Alisma plantago-aquatica
(Water Plantain), and a few plants of Ranunculus hederaceus
(Ivy-leaved Crowfoot). It may be of interest to note that in the
last field before entering the lane, which goes to Oldstead and
skirts Kilburn Thicket, a sitting Water-hen was disturbed, and her
nest was found containing four eggs. Coming into the lane
there was only just time to peep into the woods near by with
their well-grown Pines and carpet of Bluebells. Just beyond
Kilburn Thicket, Jyosotis collina (Early Field Scorpion-grass)
was seen, and further on, where the lane dipped down, Lathrea
squamaria (Toothwort) on roots of Elms. On the ditch side
Chrysosplentum alterntfolium (Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage)
was fairly abundant, and in the neighbouring damp ground
Equisetum maximum (Great Water Horse-tail)-was sending up
its fine fertile cones in advance of its stately barren shoots.
Near Oldstead a plant or two of Onopordon Acanthium (Cotton
Thistle) was found, also a fine bank of Geranium phaeum (Dusky
Cranesbill).
Along the route Ranunculus auricomus (Goldilocks) was
common, with occasionally Lzstera ovata (Twayblade), Orchis
mascula (Early Purple Orchis), Adoxa Moschatellina (Moschatel),
Myosotis sylvatica (Wood Scorpion-grass), and a specimen or
two of Lithospermum officinale (Gromwell).
Primroses were at their best and made a magnificent show,
but the sight of the day was Helieborus feetidus (Stinking Helle-
bore) on Oldstead Bank, just in its prime and in unusual
abundance. In the hedges here were seen Daphne Laureola
(Spurge Laurel), and Gerberis vulgaris (Barberry), and in one
spot Primula elatior (Oxlip). At Scotch Corner, a hill capped
with Ling, Bilberry, and Gorse, were found L£vrophila vulgaris,
Cerastium semtdecandrum, and a curious form of barren Straw-
berry, with large, foliaceous, and deeply serrate sepals, and very
small yellow petals. On the hill slopes were large patches,
uniformly brown with the dead fronds of Bracken, and on the
opposite hill a very regular plantation of alternating rows of

Pines and Larches. From the Corner the course lay across the
moor, to the right being a plantation of Pine with an under-
growth of Ling and a little Bilberry ; to the left, parts reclaimed
and sown with Oats ; but for the rest an extensive plain covered
for miles with an uniform sheet of Ling. Near Roulston Scar

a few patches of Ampetrum nigrum (Crowberry) were met with
in flower, while at the foot of the Scar was another glorious
patch of Primroses.
As regards the Cryptogamic department the district proved
very interesting to the bryologist also. In fact it was hard
work to get the ‘moss-men’ along the route in anything like

time. Mr. W. Ingham, B.A., reported the following varied list :—
By the road-side from Coxwold Station to Roulston Scar vid Low
Kilburn the predominant Mosses are EHurhynchium prelongum
(fruiting freely on a bank), Brachythectum rutabulum, Hyloco-
mium triquetrum, Kurhynchium Swartzit, Hypnum cuspidatum
(found in fruit by Mr. H. J. Wilkinson), and Amblystegium
filtctnum. Two rarer Mosses of the road-side are Barbula stnuosa
(Braith.) occurring in small brown patches on stones, and Ortho-
trichum stramineum (Hornsch.) both found by Mr. Barnes. On
the lower slopes of the Scar occur these Mosses—Plagziothecium
latebricola (B.&S.), growing with Zetraphis pellucida on rotten
wood in shade ; Campy/opus pyriformts (Brid.), fruiting freely on
the side of a cutting ; Ceratodon contcus (Lindb.), on wet clay ;
Tortula subulata (Hedw.), Bryum cespiticium, in fruit; Barbula
rigidula, Weissta viridula (Hedw.); W. microstoma (C.M.) with
its var. brachycarpa (Schp.); Mnium punctatum; Pleuropus
sericeus, in fruit; /sothectum myurum ; Eurhynchium murale and
E. confertum. Ona large stone in shade grows a very interest-
ing little Moss, Plagiothectum denticulatum var. densum, in fruit,
with short and striate capsule. On the bases of tree trunks
may be seen the large golden masses of Plag. sylvaticum, and
on the sloping banks the same Moss becoming short-stemmed
and of very compact habit. Plag. denticulatum, typical form,
fruits by the road-side. Near the top of the Scar two minute
Mosses, Seligeria pusilla and SS. recurvata, are found. On the
rock under the summit are large patches of eckera crispa var.
falcata, which looks very much like a Hepatic, and is an invari-
able index of a limestone habitat. By its side grows a very
pretty and small form of Aypnum molluscum, probably var.
gracile (Boul.). At this particular spot several hepatics of
luxuriant growth may be seen, viz., Porella platyphylla, the
smooth-coated Reboulia hemispherica, Lepidozia reptans, and
Metzgeria pubescens. On the top of the Scar in a large pool is
a fine growth of Sphagnum cuspidatum var. submersum (Schp.),
of rich brown colour and with the habit of SAh. Torreyanum,
associated with the glossy brown Aypnum fiuttans, group
Amphibium var. Jeanbernati (Renauld).
To this list Mr. M. B. Slater, F.L.S., adds the following
plants, seen on a different route :—Mosses: Ceratodon purpureus,
Mnium hornum (both male and fruit), Catharinea undulata,
Tortula muralis, Grimmia pulvinata, Hypnum striatum, Ambly-
stegium serpens, and Plagiothectum denticulatum var. aptychus.
Hepatics : Lepzdosia reptans and Lophocolea heterophylla.

In the Mycological Section some good work was done,
allowing for the season. To the general naturalist the most
interesting fungus of the day was the Edible Morell, which
attains a very large growth in this district. The writer has
often eaten it when he lived in Hertfordshire, and can testify to
its pleasing and delicate flavour as an adjunct to the breakfast
rasher. He was accustomed to gather it about half the size
of the specimens seen at Oldstead, probably in a younger stage.
Mr. T. Gibbs reports that the date was too early for a large
‘bag’ of fungi, so the list given below must be considered
fairly satisfactory. The district, with its fine woods, its well-
watered valleys and rich meadows, looks as if it would well
repay aregular ‘foray.’ The most productive ground met with
was a little wooded ravine near the hamlet of Wass, with rocky
and precipitous sides, and containing a stony stream-course
(then dry). Here on the dead wood and herbage the smaller
Discomycetes abounded, none however being of special interest.
A fine large Pegzza (Peziza venosa Pers.) was found in a quarry
in the same wood. Some very fine specimens of the Morell
(Morchella esculenta Pers.) were a prominent feature on the
hedge banks near Oldstead. The Agarics were fairly repre-
sented for so early in the year, and included the curious and
rather uncommon = Cantharellus infundibuliformis Fr.

The conchologists, though few in number, worked assiduously,
and several additions were made to the previous records for the
district. Perhaps the most interesting capture was ffelzx lapi-
cida, taken near Roulston Scar, as this snail, even where it is
known to exist, is difficult to find ‘at home.’ Mr. J. E. Crowther,
President of the Section, gives the following list of 29 species :—
Arion ater. Helix hortensis.
Arion hortensis. Hygromia hispida.
Arion circumscriptus. Helicella caperata.
Agriolimax agrestis. Buliminus obscurus.
Vitrina pellucida. Pupa cylindracea.
Vitrea cellaria. Clausilia bidentata.
Vitrea alliaria. Clausilia laminata.

Pyramidula rotundata. Planorbis spirorbis.
Helicigona lapicida. Limnzea peregra.
Helicigona arbustorum. Spherium corneum.
Helix aspersa. Pisidium fontinale.
Helix nemoralis.
Among the members of the section for Vertebrate Zoology
were some who had the advantage of the longer time which
a week-end stay at Coxwold gave them. Mr. Kenneth McLean
reports that the absent members certainly missed a splendid
opportunity for the study of bird and animal life. The district
is so diversified and the changes so abrupt that many kinds
of birds were found ‘near neighbours’ which are generally
separated by great distances. For instance, the sheltered
wooded valleys are inhabited by Willow Wren, Wood Wren,
Whitethroat, Tits, and Finches in large numbers, while but
a few hundred yards above, on the wide-stretching moors, is the
habitat of the Red Grouse, Curlew, Ring Ousel, Wheatear, etc.
Byland Abbey was seen to shelter a much larger number of
inhabitants than ever it had in its bygone days of magnificence,
for every hole, crevice, and cranny is now the home of Jackdaw,
Starling, or Sparrow, and the grand old ruins were alive with
the call of hungry youngsters.
Although many of the tree trunks in the neighbourhood bore
the marks of the Woodpecker’s strong bill, not a single specimen
was seen or heard. Amongst the Spruce and Larch on the
richly-wooded hill-side was seen the beautiful little Goldcrest,
active in search of food, while the twitter of the Wood Wren

(Phylloscopus stbtlatrix) was heard on all sides. Considering the
time of the year, perhaps the most interesting bird noted was
the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola). The nest was not found,
but it was evidently breeding in the immediate vicinity, and it is
known to do so in this district from year to year. Although
most of the summer visitors were seen, including the Cuckoo
and Corncrake, the lateness of the season was emphasized by
the appearance of a small flock of Fieldfares. In some late
springs they may be seen near the coast, even towards the end
of May, but for them to be seen so far inland as late as 19th
May is very unusual. Forty-five different kinds of living birds
were noted in all, and some of the party came across the
shrivelled remains of Hooded Crows, Jays, Magpies, Carrion
Crows, Sparrow Hawks, Kestrels, etc., the usual victims of the
gamekeeper. Eight species of mammalia were seen, alive and
dead, viz.:—Fox, Stoat, Weasel, Rat, Water Vole, Rabbit,
Hare, and Squirrel.
Owing to the lateness of the season, already noticed, the
entomologists did little or nothing with Lepidoptera. Mr, M.
Lawson Thompson, F.E.S., President of the Section, reports
that the following species of Coleoptera were met with in
working along the route. He adds that they are all common
beetles, the day proving unfavourable to really successful
investigations.

Quarry, Kilburn, and thence to the Scar. Mr. J. E. Hall reports
that the geologists made a start by inspecting the quarry at the
back of Shandy Hall, where about 20 feet of the Calcareous
Grits are exposed. Along the Kilburn Road, where water-
mains have been recently laid, several erratics were noted,
including Chert, Mountain Limestone, and various specimens
of Lake District lava, ash, and schist. On reaching Snape
Quarries a small part of the east face produced Ammonztes tri-
plex, Am. cordatus, Linia rigida, and a few Gasteropods. In
a recently-worked section of sandstone near the summit Am.
perarmatus (?), Belemnites abbreviatus, and spines of a Czdaris
were noted. In the main quarry there is a fine section of the
Upper Calcareous Grits; and looking up at the towering escarp-
ment of Roulston Scar, it was difficult to realise that the rocks
here exposed are more recent than those which, in the Scar, lie
nearly 600 feet above. But such is the case; for though it was
impossible to trace the Coral Rag, which was formerly exposed
at the base of the quarry, yet the finding of its characteristic
Coral (Thecosmilia annularts) by Mr. E. Hawkesworth proved
its existence ; and the visit paid to an old working of the Jet
Shales of the Upper Lias, in a neighbouring field, helped the
party to realise the remarkable character of the fault in a still
more vivid manner.
At the Fauconberg Arms Hotel, Coxwold, the workers
gathered together for ‘high tea’ after their pleasant tramp ;
and when ample justice had been done to the repast, during
which friends renewed acquaintance and enjoyed comparing
notes, the usual sectional meetings took place, followed by the
general meeting, over which Mr. P. F. Kendall presided with
characteristic ability and geniality. Ten affiliated societies
answered the roll-call read by Mr. E. Hawkesworth, the worthy
secretary ; and after four new members of the Union had been
elected, the customary brief but very interesting reports of the
results of the excursion were given by officers of the various
sections. These reports, made on the spot and by experts in
their own particular subject, are of necessity valuable; andi it is
hoped that the detailed form in which they appear here may
extend and preserve their value for a wider circle of naturalists,
beside serving to recall the incidents of a very pleasant day with
nature. All who were present supported with heartfelt sincerity
the vote of thanks to the landowners, whose kind permission
to go over their estates made such an enjoyable excursion
possible.

YORKSHIRE COLEOPTERA IN i901.
M. LAWSON THOMPSON, F.E.S.,
Saltburn-by-the-Sea; Hon. Secretary Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee.
Tue following is the Report for rgo1 of the Yorkshire Coleoptera
Committee :—
Much good work has been done by the Yorkshire Coleoptera
Committee during the past year, and the meetings of the York-
shire Naturalists’ Union at Brough, Wykeham, Wetherby, and
Conisborough were attended by some of its members. An
account of the Brough meeting is published in ‘ The Naturalist’
for 1901 (pp. 227-8), and contains Mr. E. G. Bayford’s list of
30 species taken on that occasion. Mr. Bayford also attended
the Wykeham meeting, spending the week-end there. His list
is published in Mr. J. Waddington’s account of the excursion
(‘The Naturalist’ for 1901, pp. 296-7), and consists of 48 species.
Of these Omostphora limbata F. and * Hylastes ater Payk. are of
particular interest. At Wetherby I met with 47 species, of which
two—WMicroglossa pulla Gyll. and Apion spencer Kirby—are not
imcluded in Mr. F. A. Lees’ account of the meeting (‘The
Naturalist’ for 1901, pp. 329-30), having only recently been
determined. The coleopterists present at the Conisborough
meeting were Messrs E. G. Bayford and H. Ostheide, who
reported finding 16 species near Conisborough (‘The Naturalist’
for 1902, p. 120). Of these Bzbloporus bicolor Denny is worthy
of note. Upper Teesdale has also been visited with very
interesting results, as this district contains the highest land in
the county.
With regard to observations on this subject already pub-
- lished I must refer Yorkshire coleopterists to the list of
coleoptera by Messrs. T. Stainforth and H. E. Johnson in the
Transactions of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists’ Club for
tgo1 (Vol. I., No. IV., pp. 239-243). It enumerates 148 species
taken in the neighbourhood of Hull and on the foreshore of the
Humber. Many are of extreme interest owing to the maritime
locality in which they are found. A previous list, which should
also be consulted, was published by the late Mr. C. W. Russell
in the Transactions for 1900 (Vol. I., No. III., pp. 129-134).
The following notes from various parts of the county have
been selected from material at my disposal and certain observa-
tions of my own—all referring to the year 1901. Throughout

Sturgeon on the North Lancashire Coast.—On 18th July some
fishermen netting for Salmon caught a Sturgeon (Aczfenser sturio L.) near
Tridley Viaduct. According to the account in the ‘ Advertiser,’ 24th July,
the fish was 8 ft. long, about 5 ft. in girth, and was said to weigh about
3 cwt. I heard after the capture that the weight was really above 3% cwt.
It went to Barrow and was sold there at small prices. The only one
mentioned by Macpherson, ‘ Fauna,’ 470-71, for North Lancashire is a small
one—60o-70 lbs.—and caught in 1842.
The share once claimed by the King was declined on account of his
Majesty's absence from London. The Duke of Devonshire, the owner of
the Leven fishing rights, wrote pleading absence also. I hear that a few
years ago a small example of the same fish was obtained in about the same
locality.

Valvata cristata in Upper Airedale, Yorkshire.—Whilst working
the Leeds and Liverpool Canal above the Five Rise Locks, Bingley, for
aquatic molluscs, along with my friend Mr. Fred Booth, I was pleased to
find Valvata cristata had made its appearance and was fairly common.
This is a new record for Upper Airedale, also for the district under the
supervision of the Bradford Naturalist Society, as a living mollusc; it has
only been previously found in the lake marl in Crummockdale by Hugh
Richardson in 1886 (see ‘ Journal of Conchology,’ Vol. 5, p. 61). This shell
has certainly been introduced since the publication of Messrs. Carter and
Soppitt’s ‘Land and Freshwater Molluscs of Upper Airedale,’ in ‘The
Naturalist’ of March 1888, for this particular place is one that has been most
visited by the various collectors mentioned in that list and would certainly
have been found if it had been there. —FRED RHODES, Art Museum, Brad-

4th August, was a Pistdium, which I have since submitted to Mr. J. W.
Taylor, who says it is rather uncertain, but that he was inclined to refer it
to Pisidium subtruncatum of Malm, which is perhaps properly regarded as
a form of P. fontinale. Other specimens obtained were :—One P. milium,
one Planorbis nautileus, three Pl. albus, and several fine examples of
Limnea stagnalis.—C. S. CARTER, 8, Bridge Street, Louth, 14th Aug. 1902.
Agriolimax agrestis Devouring Earthworms.—On Saturday, 14th
June, when journeying along Horncastle Road, Louth, my attention was
attracted to an Agriolimax agrestis apparently devouring an earthworm,
the worm being about three inches in length. As I had always thought
this slug was exclusively herbivorous, I was in doubt whether it was really
devouring the poor creature, but after watching it through my lens for
a little time, I no longer had any doubt, for by this time it had eaten some
portion of its victim’s posterior end. The worm was in a semi-helpless
condition, and made one or two attempts to get away.
On the next day and on the same road, but about a mile further, I found
another devouring a portion of an earthworm. This worm had apparently
been crushed to death by some pedestrian, as other portions were lying
close by.
To-day, when looking at some molluscs I have in captivity, I found
Hyalinia cellaria devouring Helix rufescens, and it had already disposed of
a considerable portion of the Helzx.—C. S. CARTER, 8, Bridge Street,

The pith of the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1902, which has just been
passed by Parliament, is as follows :—‘ Where any person is convicted
of an offence against the Wild Birds Protection Acts, 1880 to 1896, the
Court may, in addition to any penalty that may therein be imposed, order
any wild bird, or wild bird’s egg, in respect of which the offence had been
committed, to be forfeited and disposed of as the Court shall think fit.’ To
which we would add an expression of a hope that it will always be strictly
enforced, and that any such specimens, if of value, shall be presented to
such national or municipal museums as are willing to display it permanently.
It would be a pity that useful specimens should be destroyed, while the en-
forcement against the offender would go far to prevent similar destruction.

YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT NORTH GRIMSTON.
THOMAS SHEPPARD, F.G.S.,
Curator of the Municipal Museum at Hull:
Secretary of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists’ Club, and of the
Geological Section of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union.
THE 14th June was surely a well-chosen date for an examination
of the fauna and flora of the East Yorkshire wolds, but in
common with the absolute disregard which the Clerk of the
Weather appears to have had for seasonable warmth and cold
during the last twelve months, middle June was more like mid-
April, and cold winds and sharp showers prevailed. Immediately
preceding the 14th there had been much rain, and even on the
early morning of that date threatening clouds hung overhead,
and probably had some influence on keeping some of the
members away. Notwithstanding this, however, there was a
very fair and representative attendance.
On the previous occasion of the Union visiting this neigh-
bourhood the members had the advantage of the guidance of
Mr. S. Chadwick, who worked so well amongst the rocks and
quarries, and did so much towards forming a museum at Malton.
Mr. Chadwick is now in the Antipodes, and we were debarred
the pleasure of his presence this year. The Rev. E. M. Cole,
M.A., F.G.S., of Wetwang, another geologist and antiquarian,
who probably knows the wolds as well as anyone, was to have
conducted the geological section, but unfortunately was pre-
vented at the last moment from attending.
Mr. M. B. Slater, F.L.S., of Malton, a well-known figure at
the Union’s field meetings, was on his native soil, a fact which
rendered his presence even more welcome than usual, were such
possible, and he was able to show the visitors many interesting
places.
The district around North Grimston is a particularly happy
one for an excursion in which naturalists of so many different
interests are taking part. On the hills around are numerous
barrows and entrenchments and other evidences of the pre-
historic inhabitants of the area, who two thousand years ago,
and more, were ‘naturalists’ of necessity! Then the Romans
knew the neighbourhood well, and had several ‘streets’ from
various parts, all centring in an important Roman camp, now
Malton. The chalk wolds, oolitic hills, dry valleys, and clayey
flats not only afford a variety of material for the geologists to

work at, but also provide the varying soils and diversity of
natural features so welcome alike to the botanists, entomologists,
and conchologists. The effect of the different subsoils upon the
vegetation was most marked, and could readily be detected by
those who had not the trained eye of the botanist.
Lord Middleton’s well-kept park and gardens were also
within the field of operations, and the botanists had the pleasure
of seeing the beautiful fruit trees and flowers, and_also passed
through an enormous number of glass houses, where all manner
of luxuriant exotic plants flourished. The pond near the Hall
was stocked with beautifully-marked Loch Leven trout, some of
which were examined, thanks to the efforts of an angler, who
was ably assisted in the operation of ‘landing’ his catches by
a large retriever dog.
The members conducted their investigations in three parties;
the geological section, which commenced operations at Burdale
Station, included Messrs. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S., J. W. Stather,
F.G.S., E. Hawkesworth, and the senior Secretary of the section;
the botanists, includine; Messrs.) M-> 1B: Slater aes mela
Woodhead, F.L.S., C. Waterfall, and J. F. Robinson started
at North Grimston Station, as did also the conchologists and

The different parties had a very profitable time, judging from
the reports given at the meeting on the close of the day’s excur-
sion. For Vertebrate Zoology, Mr. Kenneth MacLean, Secretary
of the section, has provided the following notes :—The district
is truly an interesting one to naturalists of all branches, and
particularly so to those belonging to the vertebrate section.
Although no very great rarity was seen, several of the birds
observed might be considered fairly scarce, and were certainly
very interesting. For instance, the Green Woodpecker was
there, and its sharp beak had left marks on many of the trees.
Several of its nesting-holes were also seen. One of these holes
had been taken possession of by Starlings, a not infrequent
occurrence. The Woodpeckers are said to use the same nesting-
holes year after year, but in nine cases out of ten Mr. MacLean has
noticed the holes appropriated by Starlings after the first year’s
use. Starlings are known to be guilty of usurping not only the
nesting-holes of Woodpeckers, but those of Swifts, Sparrows,
Redstarts, etc. ; in many cases actually turning out the rightful

crest was seen hung at the end of the Spruce branch, in which it
had deposited eight tiny eggs. The Goldfinch was also seen
during the day. The nests of the Wood Pigeon were very
numerous, in some cases two or even three being in one tree.
The pellets of the Tawny Owl were found and examined, but
the bird itself was not seen. During the few hours at the
disposal of the party 46 different kinds of birds were seen, about
half of which were nesting; some of the old birds were sitting
so closely that they almost allowed themselves to be handled.
Many nests contained young birds, and several young were also
seen on the wing. The following is a complete list of the birds
seen :—

away the strawberries around the seeds, and disfigures them. —T. SHEPPARD,

Three Cumberland Longhorns.—This year I have taken both dsemum
striatum L. and Pachyta octomaculata F. in this neighbourhood for the first
time. Neither species is, apparently, common. A. striatum was found
sitting on a cut fir pole, which was lying on Orton Common, near Carlisle,
on 15th June. On the same day, but on the other side of the woods,
Saperda popuinea L. was about in fair numbers. Had the afternoon been
bright, instead of dull, Saferda would have been much more in evidence, as
it flies freely when the sun is shining. I first found this beetle abundantly
in this same place on 11th June 1899. In 1900 it was never seen, so that
evidently it takes two years to complete its metamorphosis. A single
specimen of Pachyta octomaculata Fab. was taken by me in Gelt Woods,
near to where the Hell Beck joins the Gelt, on 27th July last. It was sitang
on a head of Hemlock in the bright afternoon sunshine.—JAs. MURRAY,

Marsh Helleborine in Mid-Cheshire.—During the last week of July
I found the Marsh Helleborine (Zfzpactis palustris) flowering in profusion
in one part of Knutsford Moor, the low-lying morass at the head of Tatton
Mere, between the town of Knutsford and the railway. Associated with it
were the Fragrant Orchis (Gymnadenia conopsea), the Twayblade (Listera
ovata), the Spotted Orchis (Orchis maculata), and such marsh-loving plants
as Drosera rotundifolia, Pedicularis palustris, Menyanthes trifoliata, and
Comarum palustre—the ‘ Pit Strawberry’ of the Cheshire country folk. The
Marsh Helleborine was recorded from Knutsford Moor in the third edition
of Withering’s ‘Botanical Arrangement of British Plants’ (1796) on the

NORTHERN NOTES and NEWS.
The inhabitants of Withernsea and other Holderness villages are greatly
concerned about their water supply. Water from borings in the Boulder
Clay is not the most satisfactory, and a suggestion that a supply should be
obtained from the Wolds is now being considered.

The Transactions of the East Riding Antiquarian Society, for 1go1,
just issued to the members, contains a paper ‘On an Ancient Model of
a Boat and Warrior Crew, from Roos Carrs, near Withernsea,’ by Thomas
Sheppard, F.G.S., who considers the curious relic to be of Scandinavian
origin and pre-Viking age. The same volume also contains a paper by the
Rev. C. V. Collier, F.S.A., on ‘Further Notes from Old Burlington.’ In
the Churchwardens’ accounts for 1669, quoted in this paper, an amount of

THE BROCKRAMS OF THE VALE OF EDEN
AND THE EVIDENCE THEY AFFORD OF AN
INTER-PERMIAN MOVEMENT OF THE PENNINE FAULTS.
PERCY F. KENDALL, F.G.S.,
Leeds; President of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union.
THE writer has been engaged, during occasional visits to the
Vale of Eden, in the study of the well-known Brockram Con-
glomerates which form so conspicuous an element in the
Poikilitic Series of the district. Tentative results obtained five
or six years ago have been fully confirmed by later observations.
It is perhaps as well, therefore, to put upon record a preliminary
statement of views which have already obtained some currency
by annual demonstrations in the field to scientific societies of
the North of England.
The stratigraphical relations of the Brockrams can be well
studied in the almost continuous sections which are exposed
between Hoff Beck, two miles west of Appleby, and Brackenber
Common, three miles east of the town. The beds dip to
north-east at about 20, and the succession exposed is as
follows :—
St. Bees Sandstone (Trias).
(Shales and Sandstones.
Magnesian Limestone.
Upper Brockram, interbedded with and overlain by
Penrith Sandstone.
Penrith Sandstone.
( Lower Brockram.
Carboniferous Rocks.
The Lower Brockram forms a mural escarpment near Hoff
Beck, and the nature of its constituents can conveniently be
‘studied in great clean faces of quarries, as well as in the
natural exposures. In the course of several careful examina-
tions of the pebbles it was found that they all, except some
twenty or thirty at most, consisted of Carboniferous Limestone
or Chert, the former well-rounded and frequently very fossil-
iferous. Saccamina cartert was found in one. The stones
ranged in size up to nearly a foot in diameter.
The few exceptions mentioned above were Hematite, Sard-
stone, and ten or twelve small pebbles of Vein-quartz, such as
‘might be found in the Millstone Grit, the Carboniferous Base-

ment conglomerate, or, more remotely, as veins in the Skiddaw
Slates. Recurrences of the same bed, presenting the same
characters as regards the nature and source of the pebbles, are
seen on the west bank of the Eden below Appleby, on Gallows
Hill, and at Hungriggs Quarry, east of Appleby. At the last
two localities the pebbles have been very extensively dolomitised
evidently subsequently to deposition, for the pebbles have in
many cases been reduced to a mere shell, usually lined with
crystals of dolomite.
The same aspect of the Lower Brockram is presented in
the exposures at Stenkreth (Kirkby Stephen) and in several
quarries to the northward of Hungriggs. It can be seen from
these facts that for a distance of ten or twelve miles along the
strike, and for over two miles on the dip, the character of
the pebbles in the Lower Brockram undergoes no change.
The Penrith Sandstone about Appleby attains to a thickness
of probably a thousand feet, but no exact estimate is possible
owing to the occurrence of a large number of faults of unknown
throw. Near its upper boundary numerous incalations of the
Upper Brockram conglomerate occur, especially in the section
in Hilton Beck.
The Upper Brockram in this section consists of a rather
friable conglomerate in beds of a foot or two in thickness,
parted by beds of sandstone from a few inches up to thirty or
forty feet thick. The constituent pebbles are partly of Carbon-
iferous Limestone, very soft and much dolomitised, but other
elements frequently preponderate. These are well-rounded
pebbles of Vein-quartz, angular pebbles and blocks of
quartzite, fragments of conglomerate containing Vein-quartz
in a quartzite matrix, and finally pebbles of Rhyolite. At other
exposures to the northward, as at Crackenthorpe, the same
characters recur.
The source of the different pebbles may now be considered.
The limestones are, of course, from the lower part of the
Carboniferous series—they present no peculiar features; the
pebbles of Vein-quartz are clearly derived from the numerous
quartz veins in the Skiddaw Slate of the Cross Fell Inlier, but
their thoroughly rounded condition shows that they must have
come at an intermediate stage through some pre-Permian Con-
glomerate. This conclusion is confirmed by the occurrence of
fragments of a conglomerate containing such pebbles, which is
recognisable as the very characteristic Basement Carboniferous
conglomerate of the Cross Fell Range. The angular blocks of
Naturalist,
Kendall: The Brockrams of the Vale of Eden. 307
quartzite can be matched precisely by the rocks which succeed
the Basement conglomerate on Roman Fell. At one time the
writer regarded the Rhyolites as indisputable evidence of the
exposure of the Borrowdale rocks of the Cross Fell Inlier to
denudation during Permian times, but, while this still seems
to be the most probable explanation of their presence in the
Upper Brockram, it is possible that they could have been derived
from the Carboniferous Basement conglomerate in which, at
Swindale Beck, a few such pebbles occur.
Setting aside the Rhyolite pebbles, there is still a body of
evidence which seems to warrant deductions of very great
interest. The facts to be explained are—the occurrence in the
Lower Brockram of a practically pure gathering of Carboniferous
Limestone, while the Upper Brockram contains a very high
percentage of rocks from the very base of the Carboniferous
Series. They might be explained on the supposition of deriva-
tion from opposite sides of the Vale of Eden, the Lower Brockram
being supposed to come from the Carboniferous Limestone out-
crop towards Orton, while the Upper Brockram was derived
from the Pennine Range. This view has little to commend it.
If the Carboniferous Basement conglomerate was exposed to
denudation during the deposition of the Upper Brockram, then
the Carboniferous Limestone must have formed a bold and lofty
escarpment at the same time, and, that being granted, it is highly
improbable that it failed to yield the materials of the Lower
Brockram, which at Hungrigg’s is less than three miles from the
Outer Pennine Fault, which exposed a scarp of Carboniferous
Rocks in Permian times. Upon the alternative, and, as it
seems, preferable hypothesis, that the materials of the two
Brockrams were all derived from the Pennine Chain, an inter-
Permian movement of the faults which threw up the Cross Fell
Range and the well-known Inlier seems necessary.
Professor Lapworth has pointed out that when an anticlinal
fold is exposed to denudation the derivative beds will consist
of the same material as those of the anticline, but in reverse
order. The uppermost beds of the anticline will yield the
pebbles in the lowest of the derivative beds, while the core
of the anticline will be represented only in the highest of the
‘derivative beds. This principle may be illustrated by the
Tertiary Beds of the south-east of England: the Lower Eocene
Conglomerates contain only flint pebbles from the Chalk, while
the high-level gravels which rest on the Bagshot series contain,
besides flints, many pebbles derived from the Lower Greensand.

308 ~ ~Varitous Short Notes.
Where, however, the exposure is by a fault scarp the whole
of the beds exposed in the scarp will contribute to the first-
formed derivative Conglomerates. The absence of detritus of
the: Basement Carboniferous from the Lower Brockram shows
that the Basement Beds were not exposed in early Permian
times, but that a movement of the fault exceeding the thickness
of the Penrith Sandstone brought the lowest members of
the Carboniferous Series above the surface at the time of the
deposition of the Upper Brockram.

Aibino Swallow and Swift near Bradford, Yorkshire.—During
the first two weeks in August an albino Swallow (Hzrundo rustica) has
frequented a place near Bradford, and, from the general appearance and
flight, evidently was a young bird.
~ Jt would be interesting to ascertain the cause of this albinism. There is
no doubt the present season has been a fatal time for small birds. During
the time the Swallows made their appearance frosty mornings were of
frequent occurrence, this state having been repeated more or less through-
out, and it is quite possible that the absence of pigmented corpuscles may
be due to malnutrition caused by the disorganisation of the digestive
apparatus, in this or its parents, consequent on the disturbance in the food
supply from the cause alluded to.
In my opinion the albinism was not analogous to an albino Blackbird or
the white in a pied Blackbird, because apparently in normal seasons
Blackbirds of the pied variety—or at any rate birds with a sprinkling of.
white feathers—are by no means rare, and may, for anything we know, be
the initial steps for ultimately establishing a new species, similar to what
we see in the Ring Ouzel. I should be pleased to learn if any readers of
‘The Naturalist’ have observed any albino Swallows elsewhere, and, if so,
to record them, in order to see if there is any relationship between the
present abnormal season and the appearance of albinos.
In addition to the above I have heard of an albino Swift (Cypselus apus)
having been seen in the neighbourhood, but I have had no satisfactory con-
firmation.—ROSSE BUTTERFIELD, Wilsden, Bradford, 23rd August 1902.

THE HAZEL (CORYLUS AVELLANA).
P.O: KEEGAN; LED,
Patterdale, Westmorland.
It may be owned and said that the Hazel bush or a small
shrubbery of Hazel bushes is specially attractive to the juvenile
spirit. The quite peculiar and eminently remarkable tufted and,
so to speak, ‘concentrated’ manner in which it throws out its
branches and shoots coupled with the lavish vestiture of its
foliage, not to mention the edible quality of the fructification,
contribute a spectacle which no young eye may overlook. Natural
steeps, or damp hollows seamed by a bubbling beck, somehow
acquire aspects of picturesqueness and witchery from a copse-
wood of Hazels. I propose, therefore, as a memorial of old
days, to present a brief structural and physiological account of
this interesting shrub, passing in successive review the axial
organs (stem, root, etc.), the foliar organs (leaves), and the
reproductive organs (flower, fruit).
STEM AND Root.—The wood is oaly of medium hardness
and weight (specific gravity 0°62 to 0°73), compact, homo-
geneous, with regularly circular growth, uniformly white, and
with no distinction between alburnum and duramen save where,
in oldish specimens, a physiological alteration or tannic de-
generation attacks the central part, which then turns brownish-
ted. The medullary rays (macro) are seemingly of unequal size
—-some very thin, the others very thick and sparser, but (micro)
really formed of very thin rays alternating with narrow plates
(sometimes only one plate) of fibrous tissues free from vessels
(false rays); the vessels are apparently equal and hardly larger
or more numerous in the inner (spring) wood than in the outer
(autumn) wood of the annual ring, are either isolated or in
radial files of 2 to 12, and have simple pits and no scalariform
thickening ; the fibres are the predominant element of the wood
and have very thick walls, and are associated with parenchyma
describing very fine and indistinct concentric zones; the annual
rings are sharply defined by the interposition between them of
a thin layer of closely appressed fibres. In the bark there is
next the wood a close-set medley of thin-walled parenchyma and
sieve-tubes, traversed by very fine, nearly straight medullary
rays; outwards some large stone- cells (scleroblasts) occur with
large crystals, and a single bundle of stoutish fibres surrounds
the whole vascular bundle in a ring; a collenchyma and a phello-
derm are found within the periderm, which latter, in the young
1902 October 1.
310 Keegan: The Flazel (Corylus avellana).
twigs, consists at first of wide, yellowish, thin-walled cells, but
later on a series of brown flat-celled layers alternate with these,
and the former, being soft, burst, peel off in shreds, and remain
as a sort of débris on the exterior of the older shoots; so that
the bark of the branches eventually becomes of a brown-red
shade streaked with abundant lenticels, finally becoming smooth
and silvery grey, but it is only at the base of the trunk of a very
old tree that a secondary periderm (rhytidome) is ever developed
furrowed and scaly. The wood contains much starch all the
year round, also free phloroglucin, coniferin, and a little tannin ;
the vessels are rich in glucose in summer and winter; in October
and throughout the winter the central pith is quite devoid of
starch, and by mid November the starch also vanishes from the
bark until the ensuing March, when it reappears preparatory to
the unfolding of the leaf-buds. The bark contains about 1 per
cent. wax, fat, etc., a trace of carotin, 5 resin, mearly 3° tanuin,
also free phloroglucin, glucose, and mucilage, and 6°6 ash in dry,
which in May contains 12°5 per cent. alkaline salts, 5 silica,
40 lime, 4°5 magnesia, and 2°7 P?O*. The wood yields o'5 per
cent. of ash which in May contains 24°5 per cent. soluble
alkalies, 14 potass, 4°6 silica, 25 lime, 8°5 magnesia, and 10°4
P*O’. There is much iron in the bark, and much manganese in
the wood; in fact, the whole tree absorbs a large amount of the
heavier minerals of the soil. No powerful vigour or redundancy
of growth is allotted to the Hazel. Its principal stem consum-
mates, so to speak, when it has attained a certain height, and
becomes replaced by straight, slender, very elongated shoots,
which evolve from the stock or from the roots (suckers). At
first the rooting apparatus is represented by a straight pivot
root clothed abundantly with hairs; in about three years’ time
this ceases to lengthen, and lateral roots are now developed
therefrom, one of which later on takes the lead, and is prolonged
far below the soil, while still retaining throughout nearly its
whole length an equal diameter. It is this remarkable capacity
of shooting by suckers that occasions the characteristic ‘ con-
centrated’ growth. According to Leipzig, the dry root yields
3°27 per cent. of ash which contains only 8°6 per cent. soluble
salts.
Leaves. —The mesophyll is composed of two layers of pali-
sade cells occupying about half its thickness, and a very open
lacunar tissue with large granules of chlorophyll (heliophily) ;
the upper epidermis is clothed with long soft hairs, there is no
hypoderm beneath it, and the lower epidermis is hairy also in

youth, and has when mature about 150 stomata per square
millimetre; the vascular bundle system of the lamina is closed
(not open as in Birch). This structure indicates a considerable
protective safeguarding against excessive transpiration, rather
than great assimilatory energy ; and the leaf being rather thick
it absorbs much heat. The voung leaf contains a considerable
amount of carotin, with moderate amounts of wax, fat, and
resin, which remain throughout most of the life of the organ.
Rutin is present with a benzene group not detectable in allied
genera, and the tannin amounts to about 5 per cent. in autumn.
Free phloroglucin occurs in nearly all the epidermal cells and in
the mesophyll. A special feature is the presence of inosite. At
the end of July—the period of mature development of the leaf—
it contains in dry about 14°5 per cent. albumenoids, 65°8 non-
nitrogenous matter, 14°5 fibre, and 6°3 ash. The ash presents
some remarkable features. The proportion of soluble salts
therein is comparatively small (about 30 per cent. at most). At
the end of July there is 18 per cent. soluble salts, 4:2 silica,
30°4 lime, 7 magnesia, 4°5 SO* and 7°7 P?O’; iron and man-
ganese are present in some cases in considerable quantity ; in
the autumn the silica rises to about 15 per cent., and the
phosphorus sinks to 3°9 P?O*. This composition clearly indi-
cates a sparse production of carbohydrates, and forsooth this is
a palpable feature in the analysis of the leaves, and is doubtless
incidentally connected with the powerful evolution of fatty
matters in the seed.
FLOWER AND Fruit.—The Hazel is the most precocious of
all our flowers of the forest. The bracteal scale of the male
catkin is clothed with hairs, and its epidermal cells have
infolded walls. The ovary encloses two loculi with one ovule
in each, and is surmounted by two long styles of a purple-red
colour. The nut is a one-seeded achene resulting by abortion
from the bilocular ovary. Its pericarp is composed of an
epidermis studded with fine hairs, below which a layer of
roundish cells occurs with moderately thin walls arranged
tangentially ; these cells gradually give way to large oblong
radially disposed cells with very stout walls pierced by numerous
very fine pore canals, while towards the interior the thickening
of the wall is so augmented that finally nothing is left but an
almost solid mass with merely a very small cavity within. The
hard, dry, tooth-cracking nut is, therefore, constructed of a highly
lignified cellulosic skeleton or framework, not strengthened by
anv serious intermixture of mineral matters, but solely the result
"1902 October 1.

of a highly advanced stage of deassimilation. In its growing
period the pericarp encloses a very large quantity of tannin,
which aids or is used up in the process of lignification (the
lignin constitutes 14 or 15°7 per cent. of the sclerous tissue).
The kernel (seed) possesses an oily endosperm only slightly
developed, but has thick tuberous cotyledons containing aleurone
and oil, but no starch whatever at any period of their growth or
existence. At the time of pollination there is not the faintest
sign of a placenta or of ovules, hence the pollen must possess
an enormous stimulus-energy and demand abundant pabulum
for the performance of its function. The pollen contains 9 per
cent. of water, and dried has 4°8 nitrogen, 31°6 albumenoids,
64°3 non-nitrogenous matter (4 fat acids, 7 to 8 cane-sugar,
O°l, vermine, 5 starch, 3 cuticle, etc.), and) 4 asia sine male
catkin in January yields 2°17 per cent. of ash in fresh which has
4°58 per cent. phosphorus (in March, 4 phosphorus and 2°4
sulphur). The kernel contains about 48 per cent. of water and
62°6 oil, and the dry substance has 16 per cent. albumenoids,
67 oil (55 by pressure), 21 carbohydrates, 4°8 fibre, and 2°8 ash.
The oil is slow-drying, inodorous, of a mild taste, specific
gravity 0916, of 1°468 refractive index, congeals at -19 C, con-
sists chiefly of olein with a very small quantity of palmitin, and
gives with nitric acid a greenish, with sulphuric acid a bluish-
green and gray colour. The principal albumenoid of the seed
is a heavy snow-white powder insoluble in water, but is easily
dissolved by salt solution, and yields with HCl a splendid
violet-blue colour. Aleurone grains, globoids, and crystals are
observed in the celis along with the droplets of fat-oil, which
first appear visible only at the time when the reserve albumenoids
are deposited in notable quantity by the action of the protoplasm
which for this purpose utilises the sugars of the seed as a
powerful respiratory stimulus and material. The distinctive
feature is that the aleurone and oil are organised without any
production of starch. Once upon a time about Holy Rood Day
(14th September) I undertook the troublesome task of incinerat-
ing the fresh nuts divested of their leafy wrappers. The ash
amounted to 0°53 per cent., and contained 36°5 per cent. soluble
salts, 25°7 potass and soda, 1°6 silica, 15°2 lime, 8°6 magnesia,
6°2 phosphorus, and 2°2 sulphur.
SUMMARY.—It may be gathered from the foregoing recount
that the Hazel presents many features of interest. It is helio-
philous, i.e., it depends on light for the full development of its
foliage, which at best is never, redundant—the light within its

deepest covert being about one-third the intensity of that in the
open (that of its ally the Hornbeam being only one fifty-eighth).
The peculiar structure of its wood and leaves, the feebleness of
their conducting and transpiring elements, the extraordinary
inflorescence and the functions of the pollen grains, the powerful
amassment of oil in the seed and the thoroughgoing lignification
of the pericarp, the wide extension and food-searching efficacy
of the root system—all these are worthy of special study and
consideration. The crowning feature, with which all the rest
are connected, is the plethora of oil in the seed produced and
evolved by the protoplasm without the aid of starch—a circum-
stance which allies it physiologically with the Hornbeam and
Walnut, and separates it unequivocally from the Beech, Oak,
and Spanish Chestnut.

NORTHERN NOTES and NEWS.
Although the meeting of the British Association this year was held in
Belfast, many matters relating to the northern counties were brought
before the members, principally, however, in Section C (Geology). It was
particularly gratifying to find how deeply indebted several committees
of research were to the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union and to Yorkshire
workers. The Erratic Blocks’ Committee’s Report, for example, consisted
entirely of records supplied by the Yorkshire Boulder Committee and the
Belfast Society. Professor Watts referred to the great assistance given to
the Geological Photographs’ Committee by Yorkshire geologists. The
Report of the Committee on the Movements of Underground Waters of
North-West Yorkshire dealt, naturally, with work in our largest County,
whilst the ground covered by the Committee for studying Life-Zones in the
British Carboniferous Rocks is largely situated in northern England.
——_o<>¢—__
Two new Committees were formed at the Belfast meeting for conducting
geological work. The first, with Professor Herdman as Chairman and
Mr. J. Lomas as Secretary, is to study the Fauna and Flora of British Trias.

deposits at Kirmington, Lincolnshire, which may be of pre-Glacial age.

NORTHERN NOTES and NEWS.
Resuming our notes on the Belfast meeting of the British Association,
another item of interest to north country geologists was mentioned in
connection with a discussion on a paper dealing with the Permian Rocks of
the Vale of Eden. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. J. G.
Goodchild described a striated boulder found by Mr. Atkinson in the
Brockram. This was deposited in the Penrith Museum. The importance
of this boulder was such that Mr. P. F. Kendall paid a special visit to the
museum, and, together with the Curator, searched high and low for the
specimen, but it was not to be found. This, as Mr. Kendall pointed out,
was particularly unfortunate, as with the boulder was lost a// the evidence
of a Permian glaciation in England !
———o@o—__—_
In Section K (Botany) several papers dealing with the plants of the
Coal-Measures were read. These were by Messrs. A. C. Seward, E. N.
Arber, James Lomax, D. H. Scott, and Miss M. Benson.

In Section B (Chemistry) Mr. W. Ackroyd (Halifax) gave a paper on
‘The Telluric Distribution of the Elements in relation to their Atomic
Weight,’ in which it was shown that, as a rule, the rarity of an element
increases with atomic weight.

At the Meetings of Delegates from Corresponding Societies various
suggestions were brought forward by the representatives of different sec-
ctions, as to the manner in which the value of the work done by the field
clubs might be increased. Some of the suggestions were useful, and might
be adopted with advantage. Professor W. W. Watts, the Chairman of the
Conference, hit upon the happy idea of inviting the delegates to an ‘at
home,’ when probably much more was accomplished in an informal manner
than was done at the official meetings.

The date of the Annual Meeting of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union
at Hull, which had been intended for October, has now been fixed for
Wednesday, 3rd December. The President, Mr. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S.,
will deliver an address on ‘ Problems in the Distribution of Animals and
Plants.’ Every effort is being made by the local societies to ensure the
success of the meeting. Special exhibits will be arranged for the benefit of
the members, and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance.

LATHYRUS OCHRUS:
A NEW YORKSHIRE COLONIST.
BARING DEES, Mak CaS. RC B.lomp.,
Leeds; Author of ‘The Flora of West Vorkshire.’
On originally-intended Coronation Day (26th June) fell to my
friend Mr. Joseph F. Pickard the honour of finding and enabling
me to name with certainty a new West Riding Colonist. I put
it in this way because the plant in question had been observed
in the spot where Mr. Pickard gathered it, in a young state as
early as 1883, and reported to me as Lathyrus Aphaca. In
absence of actual specimens this name was accepted by me,
the calcareous subsoil being such as the ‘ Yellow Vetchling’
exclusively affects as an indigen, but in consonance with a prac-
tice of (perhaps) over-caution, in 1887 I omitted to record it
for the Wharfe river basin in my ‘ Flora of West Yorkshire.’
This ‘new’ Vetchling is Lathyrus Ochrus DC.—the Ochrus
pallida of Persoon. It is an abundant Colonist in a large field
of grain, sloping down to the north-west from Smaws Wood,
14% miles west of Tadcaster, south of the river and railway
line. The Vetch has appeared hereabouts for fully thirty years,
but not always in its entirety flowering and fruiting, by reason
of the cutting of the crop.
When young the plant has a very similar facies to Z. Aphaca,
the leaf-like decurrent stipules (expansions from the stem) being
either bi- or tri-fid, ending in capillaries, the central produced
from the mid-rib. When older the petioles (still conspicuously
decurrent) have one pair of pinne, with a third ovate leat-like
prolongation with one or more tendrils at its apex, by which the
plant holds on to adjacent vegetation. Full grown, the Vetch
attains a height of nearly two feet. The flowers are axillary,
solitary, on a brief pedicel, and of fair size, in colour a cream-
yellow, papilionaceous and quite half an inch in length. From
this soon proceeds a garden-pea-like pod, which, however, ts
so markedly different from the other species of Lathyrus that
Bauhin first described it as Ochrus—a genus to itself. This pod
is made flat on the upper side (dorsum) by rectangular wing-
expansion from the seed-bearing suture. Length of ripe pod,
fully two inches, carrying three or four peas.
From its long establishment here this Vetchling seems to
merit more notice than is accorded to a casual alien. This

annual is a native of the fields and hedges in the South of
Europe, from Albania through Italy to Spain and central
France. Of course, it must have been in the first instance
introduced to the Tadcaster district, but this may quite con-
ceivably date back to the Roman occupation. The reasons in
support of this, as well as the occurrence in the district of
Urtica pilulifera, cannot be enlarged upon here; but even as
an ‘alien’ it is, I believe, new to England.

NOTES on FLOWERING PLANTS.
Plants noted at Y.N.U. Excursion to Coxwold: a Correction. —
In ‘The Naturalist,’ Sept. 1902, p. 278, line 4, for Rubus alpinus read Ribes
alpinum, and line 7 from bottom for Primula elatior (Oxlip) read Primula
vulgaris x veris.—T. W. WOODHEAD, Huddersfield, 11th September 1902.
Silverdale Plants.—I was pleased to see in‘ The Naturalist’ for
February a list of the plants of Silverdale, and as I spent a holiday there
this summer I carefully took notes of what I saw. I found some plants not
mentioned in the list. They may not all be strictly within the area, the
boundaries of which I was not perfectly acquainted with, but they are all
within what we might term almost speaking distance.
Medicago sativa 1 found in 1900, and this year in a corn field near Cove
House.
Tilia parvifolia. Two fine trees at Wood Well.
fippuris vulgaris. Waterslack.
Parnassia palustris, recorded in the List as rather doubtful, I found
above the large Tarn in plenty.
Valeriana officinalis. Waterslack.
Vinca major. On the rocks at Jenny Brown’s Point. An inhabitant
told me it had been there to his knowledge for forty years, but no doubt an
escape at some time.
Stachys palustris. Waterslack.
Teucrium chamedrys. Ina field on the green.
Samolus valerandi. . Near Jenny Brown’s Point.
Lonicera xylosteum is, I regret to see, cut down in the Eaves, also that
Serratula tinctoria is gone from the back of the church.
But my main object in writing is to correct an error respecting the shrub
Cotoneaster vulgaris (integerrimus) of the list, which is really C. microphylla.
I got specimens from the places named, both alike. I am confirmed in
what I say by my friend Mr. J. F. Pickard, who has visited Silverdale since
I was there, and I send this note, as it would be a pity for any ardent
botanist to visit the place in search of C. vulgaris and not find it there.—
Wo. KirRKBY, 5, Tanfield Place, Virginia Road, Leeds, 18th Sept. 1902.

Particulars of papers, etc., omitted from the following list
will be gladly received and included at the commencement of
the 1900 Bibliography. Every effort will be made, however, to
ensure these lists being as complete as possible.
The lists for r900-1go1 are ready and will be published as
soon as possible, and it would render them more complete if
editors of periodicals, secretaries of societies, and especially
‘authors of papers in local journals, etc., would send copies to
the editor of this journal at 259, Hyde Park Road, Leeds.
Reprints and authors’ separate copies should bear the name of
the publication, the number of the volume or part, the ov/gvna/
paging and the actual date of publication.
As regards dating, we would suggest to editors and secre-
taries that care be taken to give the actual date of publication
on the wrapper of all parts of journals and transactions; there

Transactions as not even stating the year of publication of the
various parts. Bibliographers would greatly appreciate attention
to this point.

the political counties; those comprised within the North of

NORTH OF ENGLAND PLANTS
IN THE BICHENO HERBARIUM AT SWANSEA.
Rev. H. J. RIDDELSDELL, M.A.,
St. Michael's College, Aberdare, South Wales.
Tue Royal Institution of South Wales at Swansea is in posses-
sion of a collection of dried plants presented to it in 1839 by
J. E. Bicheno, shortly before he left for Tasmania. The collection
is unfortunately in bad condition owing to the attacks of damp
and insects; and at the outset its usefulness was much lowered
by the carelessness of Bicheno himself. It is by no means an
infrequent thing to find specimens unnamed; very frequently,
indeed, they are without date, and often either unlocalised or
credited with too general a locality to be of much use. Further,
there is some admixture of a second collection, presented in 1848
by Mir. Motley, now of Labuan,’ to the same society. But
Bicheno’s specimens are on the whole very correctly named.
There are few errors which | (with, however, a very limited know-
ledge) was able to trace. A specimen of Chenopodium hybridum
from Newbury is labelled C. rubrum, with pencil note ‘ perhaps
botryodes, not rubrum.’ Scleranthus annuus var. brennis is put
down to S. perennis : Vaccinium Oxyceccos is called V. Vitis-7dea.
All parts of the British Islands are laid under contribution :
and there are in some genera (e.g. Galium) good series of
foreign plants. And, moreover, contributions have
by various well-known botanists. The initials T. F. F[orster}.,
Heevileods|:, W. J.'-Hlooker]., and others’are of
occurrence.
been made
frequent
The ‘ Naturalist’ will demand some account of the North of
England plants which Bicheno possessed. ‘Mr. Motley, now
of Labuan,’ must yield place to his better known predecessor,
though there is a great deal of interest to be found for North of
England botanists in his collection also.
Of new records for Yorkshire I can only trace one, Vaccznium
uliginosum, for which no precise locality is given.
Of new localities in West Yorkshire (if they are such)
Meum athamanticum, near Halifax ; Mentha rotundifolia, Ripon ;
and Polygonum viviparum, Ingleton.) It is not clear that these
are not vaguer accounts of what is given more precisely in
Mr. Arnold Lees’ flora.

338 Riddelsdell: Plants in the Bicheno Herbarium.
The old record of Sedum villosum for Ingleborough is con-
firmed. The Flora of West Yorkshire appears to carry it down
to 1778 only. But perhaps the most) imteresumomnecondiic
that of Ranunculus Lingua for Giggleswick Tarn. The Flora
mentions J. Windsor’s record, with the comment ‘ Gone—if ever
there?’ A specimen sent by J. Woods to Bicheno is included in
this collection, identical with the ordinary form of R. Lzneua, so
far as I can see, except that the leaves of the flowering stem
are decidedly stalked.
From W.]. He come various Peesdale plants; yisromn|-avVe
a number of the choice things of Craven—Polemontum, Saxtfruga
umbrosa, Thalictrum minus from Gordale, and Rzbes rubrum!
from Gordale, etc.
These specimens are, many of them, undated; but as the
dated Yorkshire specimens of the collection are all 1814-1824,
the same period may be taken to cover those not specified.
The complete records for the Vice-Counties of the North of
England contained in Bicheno’s collection are as follows :—
57- DERBYSHIRE.
Turritis glabra. Near Matlock, 1821.
Cardamine impatiens. Matlock, 1821.
Arenaria verna. Matlock, 1821.
Lycknis Flos-cuculi. Dovedale. Young plant. Misnamed
L. viscaria. :
Helianthemum vulgare. Dovedale, 1814.
Geranium sanguineum. Matlock.
Vicia silvatica. Matlock, 1821.
‘Galium sp. nova Planta pubescens.’ Dovedale.
Galium pusillum. Matlock.
Dipsacus pilosus. Matlock, 1821.
Campanula latifolia. Matlock.
Myosotis silvatica. Dovedale.
Empetrum. Between Chatsworth and Sheffield.
The Dovedale plants are all (except Zychnzs) attributed to
‘j. W., and’ of course’ are not necessarily from) the Derbyshire
side; the locality for Ampetrum is more probably in Derbyshire
than in Yorkshire.
The ‘ Galium sp. nova’ is a curious looking plant. It looks
like some form of G. erectum, but is densely pubescent. It
would probably repay critical examination at capable hands, and
may be refound in its Dovedale habitat.

NOTE on CUMBERLAND PLANTS.
Vernacular Names of Piants (ante, p. 4).—-Is there any use in
chronicling these names if they are in Britten and Holland's ‘ Plant Names,’
Dialect Society? If there is, and what are quoted below are not in Britten
and Holland, then in Cumberland:— _.
Melilotus alba Des. is at Workington, apparently, ‘Bee Flower,’ ‘ King
Clover.’
Vicia hirsuta Koch. ‘Traddah,’ which, according to the late W. Hodgson,
A.L.S., is also applied to V. Cracca, and ‘other tethery plants of the same
order.’
Spirea Filipendula L. fl. pleno.. ‘Lady's Ruffles’ at Carlisle, according
to the Rev. Hilderic Friend.
Sempervivum tectorum L. is ‘ Syphelt of the dalesfolk.’
These instances are taken from Hodgson’s ‘ Flora of Cumberland,’ 1898,
pp. 82, 88, 95, and 126. No doubt there are more in the same book, but
anyone interested had better see the volume mentioned above, i.e., Britten
and Holland, and then fill the gaps; I have no access to it.—S. L. PETTY,
Ulverston, 3rd January 1902.
[If possible Mr. Petty’s suggestion should be acted upon, but Britten and
Holland’s book is not accessible to everyone. Moreover, it seems desirable
that names already chronicled in that work may be recorded again, where
the record extends our knowledge of the actual geographical range of the
name. In fact, whenever the record tends to greater precision.— Eps. Nar. |

NOTE on LINCOLNSHIRE PLANTS.
Juncus compressus at Brandon, Linc. S.—On the 17th August
I unexpectedly found /uncus compressus Jacq. growing on the edge of a
road in Brandon parish, Div. 15. Though I frequently pass that way, I had
not seen it before; perhaps the very wet season may have caused it to
flourish, the road having been for some months in a constant state of slush,
caused by the overflowing of a pond in an adjacent field. This is a fourth
record for the county.—S. C. Stow, Court Leys, Brandon, Grantham,

NORTH OF ENGLAND PLANTS
IN TiE MOTLEY HERBARIUM AT SWANSEA.
Rev. H. J. RIDDELSDELL, M.A.,
St. Michael's College, Aberdare, South Wales.
VHESE notes are published by the kind permission of the
President and Council of the Royal Institution of South Wales,
at Swansea.
The Royal Institution of South Wales possesses a collection
of dried plants, presented to it in 1848 by Mr. Motley, a resident
in the locality. The specimens are in most cases carefully
mounted, dated (year only), localised, and enriched with
notes, some of them valuable. The notes are sometimes in
Mr. Motley’s own hand, sometimes in another; but apparently
micyealways proceed from himself, either directly, or as
guotations from leading botanists of the day. The actual
annotation is never (so far as | can see) in any other reputable
beOtamisis, ¢.o., Bicheno’s hand. The specimens are well
preserved, though they suffer somewhat from dust; but I have
hopes that both Motley’s and Bicheno’s collections may be
shortly put into a more secure condition. They are well worth
preserving.
Motley’s identifications are on the whole accurate, if we
omit the critical genera Rubus, Rosa, and the like, which have
received much attention and subdivision since his time. The
worst mistakes are Lycopodium annotinum for L. Selago ; Galium
anglicum for G. Mollugo; Erythrea littoralis for #. Centaurium ;
Trintaz for some young umbellifer which I cannot identify, but
which certainly is not Zvznzza. The chief supply of plants 1s local,
from Swansea, and the parts of Glamorgan and Carmarthen
Counties adjacent; but there are some good Scotch plants,
some of them supplied by Don, and a large number of North
of England plants. The dates range for the most part from
about 1839 to 1844, though some are given as early as 1828,
others as late as 1846.
Motley was in communication with various botanists of the
day, several of them men of eminence. Besides Don and
Bicheno, people like Borrer and Babington, as well as T. Pursloe
(with Salop specimens), Miss Burton, and T. F. Forster, all
had a share in building up the collection. A peculiar interest
attaches to a specimen of Apizmedium alpinum, communicated
by Miss Maitland, ‘ gathered by Southey, near Winander Mere.’

NOTE on YORKSHIRE GEOLOGY.
Perthshire Rocks in East Yorkshire.—In the Tenth Report of the
Yorkshire Boulder Committee, published in ‘The Naturalist’ for February
1897, Mr. H. B. Muff, B.Sc., F.G.S., and the writer recorded a number of
rocks, some of which could not at the time be definitely localised. Since
then Mr. Muff’s appointment on the Geological Survey has brought him into
contact with Scottish geology and Scottish geologists. To two of these
latter (Messrs. B. N. Peach, F.R.S., ete., and E. H. Cunningham-Craig,
B.A., F.G.S.) he submitted several of the Robin Hood’s Bay boulders.
These gentlemen have identified some undoubted Perthshire rocks amongst
the specimens, and it is interesting to note that they were principally
obtained from the Upper Boulder clay, which yields sucha large proportion
of Cheviot rocks. Details of the boulders will appear in the next report
of the Yorkshire Boulder Committee. Mr. Muff has kindly presented the
specimens to the Hull Museum, where they can be at any time referred to.

NOTE on YORKSHIRE PLANTS.
Sagina ciliata near Leeds.—Somebody may have already noted the
occurrence of this pearlwort—Sagina ciliata (Fr.)—in Alwoodley Lane; but,
even if that be so, it seems worthy of mention (rare as the plant is in the
West Riding) that it was there this summer in some abundance and quite
finely grown. Whilst cycling along the lane last month I noticed it fringing
the base of a sandy wayside bank, and dismounted in the hope of gathering
S. apetala. The concealed fruit with its closely-fitting calyx, however, soon
put an end to that idea; and when a lens revealed the mucronate points on
two of the four sepals I concluded that it must be S. cz/iata. The plants in
mass were of a beautiful, almost translucent green, and many of them some-
what exceeded six inches in height. —A. E. BRADLEY, Leeds, 1st October 1902.

NOTES on LAKELAND PLANTS.
Menyanthes trifoliata at an Unusually High Elevation.—In July
last, whilst botanising in the neighbourhood of Borrowdale, Cumberland,
I found the Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) in pools near the summit of
Glaramara, and flowering freely, at an altitude of about 2,350 feet.—
ALBERT WILSON, 4, Eaton Road, Ilkley, 13th October 1902.
Peucedanum sativum in Cumberland.—This plant, which is not in
Mr. Hodgson’s ‘Flora of Cumberland,’ I found in October of this year (1902)
at Silloth. There was quite a large patch of it on the embankment of the
single rail that runs through the sandhills to the gun trial yard on the shore.
—S. ARMITT, Rydal Cottage, Ambleside, 25th October 1902.
Aliens in Cumberland. —At Silloth this October (1902) I found two
interesting foreign plants apparently quite at home on the sandhills:
Solanum rostratum, which had been seen previously by Miss E. J. Glaister,
of Skinburness, but not recorded, and Solanum triflorum, which was in
flower and making good fruit.—S. ARmiITT, Rydal Cottage, Ambleside,
25th October 1902.
Heather on Humphrey Head.—On 27th September I paid a visit to
Humphrey Head in Morecambe Bay, North Lancashire. The day was
warm and calm, the tide was out and showed no symptonis of return, the
sands were firm, and an air of peacefulness (enhanced by the spectacle of
numerous gulls reposing on the waste) contrasted most forcibly with the
savage ruggedness of the mountain valley I had left two days before.
Walking towards the Head I observed the limestone rocks charged with
fossils that flanked the shore, then having mounted the grassy summit, my
attention was immediately directed to some tufts of tiny, low-crouched
diminutive Heather that struggled to peer above the stunted, sheep-cropped
grass. Wretched, indeed, was the plight of the heather, so utterly different
from the splendid ‘three-feeters’ conspicuous on the summit of Hawkshead
Moor on the previous day. Heather in a limestone district, and on soil
perched on a foundation of briskly effervescing lime! It was rather a
surprise. So, having secured a small quantity of the heath-clad soil,
I examined it analytically on my return hither. The soil (which was acid to
test-paper) was dried, passed through a 30-mesh sieve, etc., and extracted
with boiling aqua regia. No effervescence whatever. The acid extracted
only 9 per cent. of its weight, and left behind a brown mass of very fine
granules of sand. The g per cent. included 4 oxide of iron, 2°9 alumina,
0°3 lime (CaO), leaving 1°8 of other constituents. That was enough ; the
wretched poverty in lime triumphantly explained the presence of this
eminently calcifugous plant on the grassy waste of Humphrey Head, but
I leave to those afflicted with ‘ distribution on the brain’ to account for its
passage across the limestone tract of the Cartmel district from the, say,
Upper Silurians in the neighbourhood.—P. QO. KEEGAN, Patterdale, 3rd Oct.

OCCURRENCE OF THE LITTLE BUNTING AT
TEES MOUTH, CO. DURHAM:
AN ADDITION TO THE NORTH COUNTRY AVI-FAUNA.
C. E. MILBURN,
105, Grange Road E., Middlesbrough.
On 11th October 1902, while Mr. C. Braithwaite, of Seaton
Carew, and I were ‘working’ the Tees mouth on the Durham
side of the river, a small bird rose at our feet out of the long
grass which grows upon the inner sea wall, and at once drew
our attention by its diminutive size. It settled on a piece of
slag, and, upon being followed up, rose, and, uttering a ‘tick-
tick-tick’ call which was strange to us, settled between the
inner and outer sea wali, where it was shot by my companion.
On close examination we came to the conclusion that the
bird was probably the Little Bunting, but, to make assurance
doubly sure, it was forwarded to the South Kensington Museum,
and was identified by Mr. Ogilvie Grant as being Eméberiza
pusilla Pall.
The specimen is a female (by dissection), and was exhibited
at a meeting of the B.O. Club on 22nd October on behalf of its
present owner.
As this is the first example which has occurred in the North
of England, so far as is known, and only the second recorded
specimen for the British Isles, the above record will no doubt be
of great interest to north country ornithologists.
The easterly winds which brought the above bird over
caused the arrival of a good number of regular immigrants, as
on the above date we noted three Shore Larks (Ofocorys alpestris),
a pair of old Snow Buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis), single Great
Grey Shrike (Zanius excubitor), and Hooded Crow (Corone
cornix), besides the Thrushes, Redwings, Redbreasts, Rock
Pipits, Larks, etc., during our usual week-end ramble.

Early Migration of Wild Geese near Horncastle.—Last evening
(Friday, 12th September) I was walking in my fields when I was surprised to
hear the cackling of Wild Geese, and, looking up, I counted eight passing
over me, probably from the Wash to the Trent. There was a very cold
east wind, but I have never seen them so early in the season. J. CONWAY

NOTES on YORKSHIRE BIRDS.
Honey Buzzards near Driffield.—A fine Honey Kite (Pernis
apivorus L.) was shot about five weeks ago at Elmswell, near Driffield.
It is a female, in splendid condition and plumage, the violet sheen on the
plumage being very marked. The wings are 4 feet 2 inches from tip to tip.
It has been stuffed, and is in one of the shops i in Driffield on exhibition. Last
week what was supposed to be its mate was shot either at Ruston Parva or
Rudstone, both in the neighbourhood of Driffield. —E. PERCY BLACKBURN,
Driffield, 8th August 1902.
Autumn Bird-notes from Spura.—An old male Snow Bunting (Plect7o-
phenax nivalis) was seen here 12th September. This is an early date.
A Curlew Sandpiper (dAncylochilus subarquatus) killed by flying against
the telegraph wire at Spurn, 28th September.
A female Fulmar (Fudmarus glacialis) was caught by some lads here on
29th September, near the fishing boats.
On 6th October a good many Goldcrests (Regulus regulus) about here
and since. A good many Ring Ouzels (Merula torquata) were about last
week and a Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola).—PHILIP W. LOTEN, Easington,
Spurn, 14th October 1902.
Abundance of Magpies in the Huddersfield District.—I shall be
interested to know if any of our ornithological readers experienced a large
increase in the number of Magpies (Pica pica) in their districts during the
past season. Here I never knew them so much in evidence, and we “have
seldom been without them in the garden—in the summer often four or five
at a time—all through the year. None actually nested in the garden, but
one pair built in a tree just outside. A little further on were two other
nests, and altogether I think there were quite ten nests within several
hundred yards on different sides of this house and grounds. The effect on
the smaller birds breeding in the garden was disastrous, for many which
built even but a short distance from the house had their eges promptly
eaten by the beautiful but ravenous Magpies, which even sucked the ducks’
eges on the pond sides. An unusual number of the smaller birds, however,
doubtless directly from the self-preservation instinct, did build near the
house, and four or five pairs of Thrushes and Blackbirds i in the ivy actually
growing on it ; one pair of Thrushes close to one of the doors where people
were constantly going in and out. Another pair built, and got their young
safely away, zuside the greenhouse. The birds went in and out through
a broken pane of glass, the orifice of which was so small and narrow
I often wondered they were not injured by the sharp edges; whilst still
another pair for safety built under a narrow wood footbridge, which was on
a level with the garden path, and where almost everyone coming into or
going out of the garden necessarily walked over the nest. In “his and
nearly all the other cases, the young birds got safely away. It was no
doubt, too, on account of the Magpies that this year we had scarcely any
Missel Thrushes’ nests. These birds usually build in such exposed spots,
they would have been found by the Magpies at once. The previous year
an unusually large number of Missel Thrushes bred in the garden.—GEo. T.
PORRITT, Crosland Hall, near Huddersfield, roth October 1902.

of its kind (the eleventh annual) organised by the Union. It
was held at Egton Bridge, near Whitby, 27th September to
2nd October, under the direct management of the Mycological
Committee. Its object was the investigation of Arncliffe Woods
and other portions of the romantic valley of Eskdale, a charming
and fairly well-wooded district. The centre of operations was at
Egton Villa, a most comfortable and in every way convenient
house, which the Union Secretaries had succeeded in securing
beforehand, typical headquarters where all could be accom-
modated under one roof, and where all assembled on the
Saturday.
There were present Messrs. G. Massee, F.L.S., V.M.H. of
the Royal Herbarium, Kew (President of the Committee); W. N.
Cheesman, Selby; A. Clarke, Huddersfield; J. Wms. Sutcliffe,
Halifax ; J. Needham, Hebden Bridge; J. H. Holland, F.L.S.,
and A. D. Cotton, London; C. H. Broadhead, Thongsbridge ;
Reena, tfull;> and C. Crossland, Hon:\Sec. Mr. 1.
Birks, Yarm-on-Tees, was unable to stay beyond the first
day. Messrs. W. T. H. Wager, Derby, and Thos. Gibbs,
Sheffield, wrote expressing regret at being unable to take part
in the foray, and wishing it success.
Consignments of fungi were received from Bramhope, Dews-
bury, and Holmfirth.
The opening day was very successful ; it established a record
both as to numbers met with in one day and new finds. Less
than a mile was covered in pastures and woods in the vicinity of
Egton Lodge, and in the evening it was found that close upon
200 species had been met with. One, growing among moss on
a semi-submerged boulder in the stream, proved to be new; it
belongs to the Discomycetes, and is quite distinct from any
hitherto-described species. It will be known as Coryne aquatica,
and a full description will be given in ‘The Naturalist’ in due
course. Among many other uncommon things met with was
Coprinus Bresadole Schultz in the corner of a wood, and new to
1g0z November 4.

Britain; it is a near relative of C. atramentartus. It is very
seldom pasture species are met with in such variety within
a small area as they were on this occasion. There were no
less than twelve species of Hygrophorus and five of Clavaria.
Among the former was JZ. bicolor Karst., noticed for the first
time in Britain; it is distinguished from A. pratensis by its
chalk-white, gradually downward-tapering stem. The beautiful
pink-white A. calyptreformis was also among the number.
A splendid group of Badhamia utricularta rewarded the
lifting of a decaying branch from the floor of the wood; the
iridescent sporophores of this elegant Myxomycete hang in
grape-like clusters on a slender stalk from the under surface of
the matrix upon which it has been feeding and multiplying.
The first portion of the second day was given to Limber
Wood, and a pasture or two on the left bank of the Esk, between
Eeton Bridge and Glaisdale. A fine example of Z7icholoma
sevum Gillet was picked up in one of the pastures; the second
British record. It is rather remarkable that the same species
should be sent to the meeting by Mr. Thomas Whitham from
Bramhope. Limber Woods, with their eastern aspect, were
rather barren of fungi. The Esk was crossed by the Beggars’
Bridge, Glaisdale, and presently the basket containing the
lunch was unpacked at a very opportune wayside inn. After
full justice had been done to the good things ‘put up’ by the
hostess of Esk Villa, no time was lost in making for the adjoin-
ing Arncliffe Woods. These, owing to moisture and shade, were
more prolific than Limber. A quantity of well-grown plump
Hydnum repandum was noticed growing in a segment of a circle.
Among other things gathered were Clitocybe obsoleta, Leptontu
chalybea, Pholiota flammans, Lactarius pergamenus, and Lnocybe
Godeyz Gillet; the latter adds another new British record.
On the Wednesday a visit was paid to Mulgrave Woods, and
many additions made to the records of 1894 and 1900, among
them being Muarasmius Vaillantiz, Leptonia formosa, Pholtota
adiposa, Polyporus cestus, and Puccinia carices on Carex pendula,
a host for this species not given in Plowright’s British Uredinee.
Each morning, before starting on the day’s excursion, short
runs out in the immediate neighbourhood of the headquarters
were made by several of the members, while others worked at
the previous day’s finds left overnight undetermined. Mr. A.
Clarke took photographs of several species of especial interest.
While odd genera were fairly well represented, many common
species were almost nil. For instance, only a solitary specimen

Ur
of Armillaria mellea was seen. There were no great troops of
anything, but, what was perhaps better, a varied sprinkling of
species. The tough, fleshy fungi which find favour with Special
beetles were marked by their absence; this was disappointing,
as a worthy coleopterist connected with the Union had expressed
a wish that some should be sent him. The absence of weight of
fungi was set down to the abnormally low temperature which
prevailed in July and August.
Notwithstanding weather drawbacks, this foray, in point of
new and important discoveries, has been the most successful of
recent years. In addition to the new species already referred to,
others are under consideration, and quite a number have been
added to the already long list of Yorkshire fungi. The wide
experience and knowledge of fungi possessed by the President,
who has a thorough grasp of the whole subject, has been the
great factor in bringing about these good results. His recently
published book on European Agaricacee proved exceedingly
useful. It is a valuable addition to the literature dealing with
systematic British Mycology. Its pages show at a glance which
Species had been met with in this country up to the date of its
publication and which had not. All the necessary books and
microscepes were brought to the meeting. Mr. A. Clarke
brought a number of new stereo-photographs of fungi, and the
writer a few recent water-colour drawings of micro species.
Mycology generally appears to be creating a wider interest
than formerly, both from a systematic and economic standpoint.
There is plenty of scope, the field being wide and the workers
few.
The Committee, through the Union, is much indebted to the
Messrs. J. and A. B. Foster for granting the free run of their
extensive Egton estates. A very intelligent and most useful
local guide was also provided. Three hundred and forty Species
were collected.
Papers bearing the following titles were read:—‘The Modern
Method of Studying Agarics,’ by the President, illustrated by
large diagrams; ‘The Economic Uses of Fungi,’ by Mr. J. H.
Holland, F.L.S., of the Kew Museum, illustrated by diagrams
and specimens; ‘The Use of Photography in connection with
the Study of Fungi,’ by Mr. A. Clarke, illustrated by numerous
beautiful stereo and other photographs. Abstracts of each of
the papers will appear in a future issue. ,
At the business meeting, held on the Wednesday evening,
Mr. G. Massee was elected President of the Mycological Com-
1902 November 4.

buildings.—T. SHEPPARD, Hull, 22nd July 1902.

Limax cinereo-niger in North Lancashire.—On the evening of
6th September my wife called my attention to a fine slug of uncommon
colour, on the roadside between Water Yeat and Lake Bank. It turned
out to be the above species. On referring to Adams’ ‘ Shells,’ ed. 2, 1896,
p. 198, I found that at that date it was not on record for V.C. 69, and I do
not know if it has been chronicled previously to this for the Lancashire
portion of the vice-county.—S. LISTER PETTY, Ulverston, 6th October 1902.
Shells at Hornsea Mere.—On the excursion of the Hull Scientific
and Field Naturalists’ Club to Hornsea on 30th August, a section exposed
during the erection of a new gasometer at the Hornsea Gasworks was
examined. This is situated near the railway station, some little distance
from the Mere. The excavation had been made through beds of gravel,
shell marl, and peat, which showed that the Mere had formerly occupied
this area. From the marl the following shells, identified by Mr. Petch,
B.Sc., were collected :—Spherium corneum, Pisidium fontinale,* Valvata
piscinalis, V. cristata,” Bithynia tentaculata, Limnea peregra, L. aurt-
cularia,* and Planorbis albus.* The four marked with an asterisk (*) are
additions to the list from a similar deposit at Hornsea, given in Reid’s
‘Geology of Holderness,’ p. 82.—T. SHEPPARD, The Museum, Hull, 6th
September 1902.

Remarkable Sunsets in Yorkshire.—For several evenings, but
particularly on 17th July, Yorkshire people have experienced most beautiful
sunsets. These have been connected with the recent eruption in the West
Indies, which filled the atmosphere with minute particles of voicanic dust.—
T. SHEPPARD, Hull, 22nd July 1¢o02.
Waterspout at Cottingham, East Yorkshire.—A waterspout burst
over Cottingham, near Hull, during the morning of 17th July. According
to the ‘Eastern Morning News,’ the clouds, which assumed a tortuous
conical shape, rotated rapidly towards the earth. The phenomena lasted
several minutes, and then the spout commenced to grow shorter and
shorter, until it disappeared altogether.—T. SHEPPARD, Hull, 22nd July
1902.

NOTES on REPTILES.
Grass Snake near Hull.—During the last few years Grass Snakes
(Zvopidonotus natrix) have been very numerous in Holderness, particularly
in the district immediately east of Hull. A very fine specimen, caught at
Kelsey Hill by Mr. J. W. Boult, has been placed alive in the Hull Museum,
where it is a source of attraction.—T. SHEPPARD, Hull, rsth July rooz.
The Grass Snake in the Hull Museum has recently cast its skin. The
entire skin was gradually stripped, commencing at the head, and the process
occupied two days. The snake has also laid seven eggs—two on 4th
August, one on the 8th, one on the 13th, and the remainder at intervals
of about a week each. The eggs are nearly an inch long and are of
a cream colour. They have a tough cuticle instead of the ordinary ege
shell.—T. SHEPPARD, Hull, 14th August, 1902.
Lizard in Lancashire (Vice-Counties 60 and 69).—Macpherson
(‘Fauna of Lakeland,’ p. 462) gives only one localised record for the occur-
rence of Lacerta vivipara Jacq., and that is in Westmorland, near Tebay.
The animal is said by him to be plentiful. It may on the warm moors, but
it so happens that I have not been so fortunate as to see many. Last year
one crossed the road in front of me near Newland Trough, outside
Ulverston, and the other day one was on the stones of the stile at the
bottom of the hill between Bank and Burton Wells, Silverdale.—S. L.
PETTY, Ulverston, 9th July 1902.
Living Toads in Solid Stome.—I was told by a friend the other day
that the sexton at his church had found a yard deep, while digging a grave,
a flower-head ‘like a knur,’ and in good preservation, which proved to be
that of the Globe Thistle. Feeling incredulous—I suppose I looked so—
when my friend said, in answer to my thoughts, ‘ the sexton knew it was so,
because he threw it out with the earth.’ That both were perfectly sincere
I had no doubt, but I knew, of course, that (as they stated it) it was
impossible. On inquiry, I found that a ‘ mate’ had slipped the flower-head
into the sexton’s pocket, in order to ‘have him on,’ and he ‘ reckoned ’ it
had fallen out while he was digging. Here, thought I, is a parallel to the
‘living toad’ story. The flower-head is the toad; the sexton is the finder
thereof ; the friend is the one who tells what the finder has found, both fully
believing what they state, but (having no scientific training) mistaken.
The finding of an undecayed thistle-head a yard deep in undisturbed earth
is as well authenticated as the finding of a living toad in a solid block of
carboniferous sandstone, neither more nor less. When one has seen a dead
toad under such circumstances, it will be quite soon enough to expect to see
a living one. The head of the Globe Thistle (Echinops spherocephala) is,
however, an interesting example of Linnzeus’ Class Syngenesia, Order
Polygamia segregata, each floret having a separate involucre, or (more
scientifically expressed) ‘numerous one-flowered capitula collected into
one large spherical head.’--W. FOWLER, Liversedge, 22nd September 1902.

NOTES on LEPIDOPTERA.
Death’s Head Moth in Furness.—On either the 1st or 2nd of
October I heard of a Lindal Moor miner who had a ‘ singing butterfly.’
On getting hold of him in the evening the insect, which was in a tin box
and making a great noise, turned out to be Acherontia atropos. Seemingly
the moth was in decent condition, but its owner would not allow it to be
taken out of the box. It was caught on Lindal Bank, Lindal-in-Furness.
I am told a few were’ heard of last year.—S.. L. Petty, Ulverston,
6th October 102.
Sesia sphegiformis at Bishop’s Wood, Yorkshire.—In connection
with the proposed supplement to the ‘List of Yorkshire Lepidoptera,’
Mr. F. Emsley, jun., of Leeds, recently sent me for examination a fine
specimen of this Moth, which he took ‘on an alder leaf’ in Bishop’s Wood,
near Selby, 1st July 1894. The only previous county record for the species
was that of a specimen taken at York many years ago, the locality of which
(Langwith) is now destroyed.—GEoO. T. PoRRITT, Crosland Hall, near
Huddersfield, roth October 1go2.
Sphinx convolvuli and Yanessa io near Spurn.—I had brought
me by two boys on 15th August a specimen of Sphinx convolvulz. After
telling them what it was we let it go. A Sparrow on the house-top must
have been watching us, for, as soon as we let it go, it flew after the moth,
and, in spite of our running and shouting, it flew with it over a wall to
enjoy its prey. Another S. convolvult was seen in the garden last week.
These are the only two I have heard of this season about here.
We have had a good many Peacock Butterflies (Vazessa io) of late
about here. It is some years since I have seen them in my garden.—
PuHiLtip W. LOTEN, Easington, 13th September 1902.
Zeuzera zsculi and other Lepidoptera near Caistor, Lincoin-
shire.—On the 13th August I caught a beautiful example of Zeuzera esculz,
3% inches in length. It was laying eggs when I caught it. I saw another
two days later.
On the 15th August I caught a Common Footman (Lithosia complanula).
Last year | caught two examples of the Small Elephant Hawkmoth
(Chevocampa porcellus) on the Syringa trees.—F. W. SOWERBY, Cuxwold
Hali, Caistor, Lincolnshire, 19th August 1902.
The occurrence of Zeuzera esculz is interesting ; the insect appears to
have been unusually common this year, quite a number having occurred in
the Barnsley district.—G. T. PoRRITT.

DISTRIBUTION OF
HYPOCHAERIS MACULATA IN ENGLAND.
ARTHUR BENNETT, F.L.S.,
Croydon:
In England in former days this plant was much confused with
maculate Azeraciz, as notes by S. Gibson (Phytologist, 1,
744i, 1943), and-H. C. Watson (l.c., 841-1138) will show. ‘In
Hudson’s time (1798) the ‘ Devil’s Ditch and Burnach Heath,
Northampton,’ were the only stations given, and as late as 1849
we find H. C. Watson (Cyb. Brit., 2, 40, 1849) writing ‘I make
no doubt that the greater number of localities recorded for this
plant are wide errors, through mistaking the maculate varieties
of Hieructum murorum, and probably other species, for the
present plant.’ He there only records Suffolk, Cambridge, and
Carmarvon,; but ini 1852 (Cyb. Brit., 3,451) he allows that
Cornwall and Essex must be added. The counties now known
are 1. Cornwall W.!, 16. Essex N.!, 26. Suffolk W.!, 29. Cam-
bridge!, 32. Northampton!, 49. Carnarvon!, 53. Lincoln §S.!,
and 69. Lake-Lancashire.! Of these it is probably existent in
all except the second and fifth.

NOTE on TIDAL PHENOMENA.
Big Waves on the Yorkshire Coast.—It appears that now and
again a wave of extraordinary volume occurs upon the Yorkshire coast,
immensely larger than any which go before or follow it. I have made
a note of several such waves in recent years. The most notorious example
is the wave which, on 13th October 1873, swept Mr. and Mrs. Paget off the
rocks just north of Filey Brigg. A tablet inserted in the cliff records that
‘the spot in question is rarely covered at high tide, and at the time of the
accident it wanted but an hour and a half to low water.’
One Sunday afternoon (again in October), about fifteen years ago, I was
standing with the Vicar of Saltburn on Bridlington Pier near the Victoria
Rooms. A gentleman came on to the pier and leant upon the iron rail,
looking down on the water. Immediately a huge wave reared itself right
on to the place where he stood, and, but for the support of the rail, must
have swept him away. When the water ran off the pier, a number of live
Swimming Crabs (Portunus depurator) were left behind, a striking testimony
to the depth of the water hurled up. No wave before or after even cast
spray on this place during that tide.
At the extreme point of Flamborough Head, near the isolated rock
called ‘Green Stacks,’ is a small ‘creux’ (or roofless cave). Mr. G. W.
Lamplugh has told me that one day about twenty years ago, when he was
examining the boulder-clays which cap the chalk at this point, a wave of
great volume boiled up in this creux to such a height that he was in imminent
danger of being carried down by it.
Some eight or nine years ago I saw it reported in a local paper that
a lady nearly lost her life in Thornwick Bay. She was sitting on the shore
reading, far away from the sea, when she found herself almost swept off by
a wave. I myself witnessed an extraordinary wave in the same bay in
October 1887.
I have questioned fishermen about these extraordinary waves, and I find
their occurrence is quite recognised. They say they only occur when there
is a big swell on. The fact that never more than one appears to occur on
each occasion is very singular, and seems to point to some rare coincidence.
The practical lesson seems to be that, if the sea is at all disturbed, it is best
to keep a lookout when wandering on the rocks or shore.—W. C. HEy,
West Ayton, Yorkshire, 5th September 1902.

YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT BAWTRY.
HERBERT H. CORBETT, M.R.C.S.,
Doncaster.
THE report on the 166th meeting of the Yorkshire Naturalists’
Union might pretty well have been made by means of a blank
sheet. The district for investigation was most promising, and,
judging by the official programme, botanists, conchologists, and
vertebrate-zoologists should have had a good day ; while the en-
tomologists were going to capture long series of the supposed
extinct /Vzszonades semzargus. Alas! ‘The best laid schemes of
mice and men gang aft agley.’ ‘/¢ rained!’ TVhat is the only
remark to be made upon the weather.
The section of members who were to get WV. semiargus
journeyed to Haxey Station, and remained in the waiting-room
until a train arrived to take them back to Doncaster. At Haxey
they foregathered with a few enthusiasts from the Lincolnshire
Union who accompanied them on the return journey.
The Bawtry party, under the \leadership of Mr. Jordan,
tramped through the soaking rain for some time, but, finding
work impossible, they made for Finningley Station and took
train to Doncaster. \
The Finningley party, led by the present writer, were blessed
with two short intervals when it did not rain, during which
a little work was possible among insects, molluscs, and plants.
They were finally driven from their posts by the incessant down-
fall, and walked weary miles through mud and water until
Doncaster was reached.
All the parties having arrived at the Glyn Hotel at an earlier
hour than would have been the case had the day been fine, tea
was ordered an hour earlier, and this having been finished, the
most pleasant part of the day ensued. Old friends met each
other once again, and new acquaintanceships were formed that
may develop into old friendships.
Pleasant chat and amusing anecdotes on matters relating to
natural history whiled away the time until the formal business
of the meeting was due. This was held under the presidency of
WieeG.’ f. Porritt, F.L.S., an’ ex-President of the Union. In
his remarks he welcomed the members of the Lincolnshire
Union to the meeting.
A vote of thanks to the landowners, guides, and all who had
contributed to the success of the meeting was proposed by
1902. December 1.
374 Corbett: Yorkshire Naturalists at Bawtry.
Mr. T. Sheppard, F.G.S., seconded by the Rev. E. A. Woodruffe
Peacock, F.L.S., Secretary of the Lincolnshire Union, and carried
unanimously; «Mr. M. oH. Stiles, PoRoM.S rane pitied:
The sectional reports were naturally, on such a day, very
meagre.
Hor the; Geological section, «Miri. (Sheppardyake Gas.) ats,
secretary, who officially represented it, writes as under :—By
the circular prepared for this meeting, we were warned
by Mr. Corbett that the country around Bawtry and extending
to Doncaster presented little attraction to the geologists, and,
naturally, this somewhat poor prospect did not result in large —
numbers of hammermen being present. Possibly some of those
who had determined to go thought otherwise in view of the
incessant rain which fell from the early morning. The geolo-
gists included. Mr.. Corbett, Mr. E. Hawkesworth, and ‘the
writer, who took different routes; but each one reported the
result of his day’s work as nil; and as this result was to
a certain extent prophesied, they could hardly be disappointed.
The members of the Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union, however
(including the Rev. E. A. Woodruffe Peacock, F:G.S.; Mr. F. M.
Burton, F.G:S.) and) Mr.v El. Preston, 1 Gis.) 2 wher jomedaume
party at Haxey, had been more fortunate, having visited the site
of an exceptionally deep boring a few miles away.
The party adjourned to the Glyn Hotel at an early hour, and
a pleasant afternoon was spent in discussing ‘ stony’ subjects.
An opportunity of this character amply repaid the members for
their trouble in travelling to Doncaster. At the general meeting
held after tea it was particularly gratifying to the geologists to
propose that the hearty congratulations of the Union be offered
to Mr. Alfred Harker, M.A., and Mr. Robert Kidston, F.R.S.E.,
on their election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society. Both
gentlemen are well known to the members of the Union from
their sound work on the geology of our greatest county.
For Vertebrate-Zoology Mr. H. H. Corbett reported that
little could be done. Birds were hidden from the constant rain.
Some Stoats were seen hunting a rabbit, and at Kilham Farm,
Cantley, a stuffed Badger, shot on the farm a few years ago,
Was examined.
For Conchology Mr. Corbett reported that during a short
interval of the rain the following species of mollusca were found
in the river Torne and a drain near it. Sythinza fentaculata,
Limnea peregra, L. palustris, Planorbis contortus, P. complanatus,
P. vortex, P. corneus, Physa fontinalis, and Ancylus fluviatilis.

ne
Peacock - Lincolnshire Naturalists at Scunthorpe. Aly
For Entomology Messrs. Porritt and Hewett reported that
nothing could be done among the Lepidoptera.
Uhe Coleopterists, represented by Messrs. Bayford and
Corbett, did a little collecting in the Torne and a small amount
of ‘beating’ also, the result being, Marpalus ruficornis,
Pterostichus madidus, Pt. niger, Anchomenus albipes, Calathus
ersteloides, Deronectes depressus, Hydroporus pictus, Haliplus
ruficollis, H. fluviatilis, Anacena globula, Coccinella 1o-punctata,
Rhagonycha limbata, Crepidodera transversa, Deporaiis betula,
Phyllobius calcaratus, Stophosomus coryli, Rhynchites nanus,
and “lms ceneus.
Insects of other orders were submitted to the Rev. Alfred
Thornley, M.A., F.L.S., who reported that the Hymenoptera
Aculeata were Gorytes mystaceus and Odynerus callosus ; and the
solitary Hemiptera-Heteropteron, Psallus betulet?.
Other sections reported complete blanks.
Sympathetic reference was made to the death of Mr. A. Pater-
son, the oldest local member of the Union, and a vote of thanks
to the Chairman terminated the meeting.
It is to be hoped that the Union will repeat the excursion at
an early date and have better weather, when there can be no
doubt that a most enjoyable and valuable day would be spent.

NOTES and NEWS.
We have received from Mr. R. Charles, of Highcliffe, Christchurch,
Hants, a suite of Eocene and Oligocene Mollusca from the Paris Basin,
Which includes 4o different species, all in excellent condition, carefully
named and with particulars as to locality and geological horizon. Mr.
Charles spares no pains to give satisfaction to his clients, and the great
interest of being found in deposits of the same relative age as the Upper
Eocene of Barton, the Middle Eocene of Bracklesham Bay, and the Oligo-
eene of Hordwell, as well as the exquisite beauty of form and fine state of
preservation, makes this ninth series noteworthy, and we heartily recommend
all who are interested to at once give Mr. Charles their patronage.

LINCOLNSHIRE NATURALISTS AT SCUNTHORPE.
Rev. EDWARD ADRIAN WOODRUFFE PEACOCK, L.Th., F.L.S., F.G.S.,
Vicar of Cadney; Organising and Botanical Secretary, Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union.
THE wet day on the roth July ruined the Joint Meeting of York-
shire and Lincolnshire Naturalists at Doncaster and Epworth.
With the 11th came fine weather for the Scunthorpe meeting,
but Yorkshire was only represented by one of the Secretaries
of the Union, Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S. Considering

the unsettled state of the weather, the Lincolnshire men turned
out in goodly numbers and did a fair day’s work, Grantham,
Lincoln, Boston, and Louth all providing members.
Mr. H. Preston, \F.GsS.) reported: the, geology shortly: for
the time being as follows :—This section, which in the unavoid-
able absence of Mr. F. M. Burton, F.G.S., was led by Mr.
Preston, made tracks for the ironstone quarries. The main
object of the visit was to examine the ironstone and its adjacent
clays, and to add to the recorded list of fossils made two years
ago from the Ironstone or Semicostatus Zone of the Lower
Lias ; and also to see the ‘Stone Curtain,’ which was not reached
on the previous occasion. Some length of time was spent in
the pits, where most of the old fossil types were noted, and some
good examples collected. A fine specimen of Azppopodium
ponderosum was found at the top of the ironstone bed. This
species, although recorded in the Geological memoir for the
district (sheet 86), had not been seen on our previous visits.
Rock specimens also were found showing the beautiful oolitic —
structure occasionally seen in this ironstone. A good specimen
of an ammonite having the transversely plaited keel (Amaltheus
murgaritatus °) was obtained from a concretionary nodule lying
in the clay immediately over the ironstone. The typical ammo-
nite for the Middle Lias (A. margaritatus) is particularly rare in ~
this district, and therefore has not been used as a zonal type by
the geological surveyors in assigning the upper limits of the
Lower Lias. After examining some of the faults occurring in
these beds, and the fused appearance of the fault-rock, the party
proceeded to that most interesting of tufaceous deposits, the
‘Stone Curtain.’ Some little time was spent here examining the —
structure and discussing the probable origin of the gutter which
runs along the top of the mound. Mr. Charles S. Holgate, not the
least active member present, stated that he well remembered
the time when the spring issued above the top end of the mound
and formed a treacherous bog, when limewater almost invari-
ably flowed: down the natural formed gutter on the top. Mr.
Holgate can remember it eighty years, long previous to the land
being drained and the spring being conducted down to its present
outlet over the cattle-trough, a little distance south of the ‘ cur-
tain.’ Several of the party being greatly interested in ‘ Early
Man’ as well as Geology, the opportunity was taken to return
to the town by way of the sand moors, some of which have been
so prolific in their yield of flint and bronze implements of Neo-
lithic and the so-called Pigmy man age. Many flint flakes were

picked up. Returning from a most successful and interesting

which Mr. Cobban, the local water engineer, handed to Mr.
Preston some further particulars of the recent boring for water,
which will appear in a subsequent issue.
Miss S. C. Stow acted as botanical secretary as usual, and
reported 216 species and varieties. In so well worked a district
nothing new turned up, and some ‘old familiar friends’ were
not seen; perhaps ‘they are gone forever.’ Dzplotaxis muralrs,
Szsymbrium Sophia, and Linaria viscida were conspicuous on
the viaduct embankment. lola palustris, Stellaria palustris,
Drosera rotundifolia only, Cnicus palustris and its variety flore
albo, Cnicus pratensis, extremely robust specimens of Cvrepzs
virens, the flore roseo variety of Prunella, Potentilla palustris, with
Epipactis palustris, Orchis maculata and its variety flore albo,
Eriophorum angustifolium, Scirpus setaceus, and Carex flava in
abundance, were taken in the viaduct delph on Brumby West
Common. The Liassic loamy roads or eolian. sand supplied
Lychnits dioica, flore rosante, L. Githago, Sagina procumbens ;
S. apetala, on wall tops at Frodingham; Genzsta anglica, where
I first saw it just forty years ago, Asperula odorata, Arctium
majus, Centaurea Cyanus, Lithospermum officinale, Allium olera-
ceum, Atra caryophyllea, Deschampsta flexuosa, Poa nemoralis,
either very rare or always passed over, as is Agropyron caninum,
which was taken by Brumby Woodside.
In Miss S. C. Stow’s words :—The list of mosses contains
~ 38 species, some of which are rather good ones.

Two Hepatics were taken :—Lophocolea bidentata L. on the
lane between Scunthorpe and the viaduct, and Marchantia
polymorpha near the viaduct. The geologists took some beauti-
ful specimens of the Marchantia, showing fructifications and
gemme, from an old disused face of ironstone in the Lindsey
Ironstone Quarry at Scunthorpe.
The only lichen taken was Peltigera cantina on the lane
between Scunthorpe and the hill-top before the viaduct.
The Rev. W. Fowler says :—The only fungus worth men-
tioning in the report was a fine clump of Panus conchatus Fr.

For Entomology the Rev. Alfred Thornley, M.A., F.L.S., re-
ported that the day was cool but kept fine; nevertheless, the great
rain of the day before had evidently driven away the insects, as the
number taken was far too low for such a magnificent district.
The best find, be thought, was the beautiful. little Noctua,
Fly drelia uncula, which was not at all uncommon on the heath,
and several specimens were taken. Several young Kitten larve
were taken on Salzx repens which he thinks were D. furcuda, but
he forgot to bring away a specimen. It was very interesting to
capture a specimen of the Wood Tiger (Nemeophila plantaginis)
so late as this, as it usually flies in May, but this only shows
once more how late the season is. Very few butterflies were
observed, and this was very disappointing, as the search for the
long-lost Lycena aczs the day before at Epworth was rendered
abortive by the exceedingly wet weather. Only a single speci-
men of that very common Dragon Fly—-Agrion puella, was
observed in the pond; it was a sore puzzle what had become of
the rest in so likely a locality for their occurrence.
The beetles scarcely call for comment, and the same must be
said of the Diptera. The little and very pretty fly, Vemo/te/us
uliginosus, swarmed on Umbellifera: in the bog; and one exam-
ple of Chrysotoxum bicinctum, a common fly hereabouts, which
mimics an Odynerus wasp, was taken.
robber fly, Dysmachus trigona, were seen and caught.

cool wind evidently kept the insects in hiding, as only in very
sheltered places did they resort to flowers. Bugs (Hemiptera)
were strangely absent, though several immature forms were
noticed. The grasshoppers were still very small and undeveloped.
At Gainsborough, on the day preceding, the larve of the
Mullein Shark Moth (Cuculléa verbasc’) were found feeding not
only on Verbascum, but also on Scrophuluria aquatica.
LEPIDOPTERA.—The only butterflies seen were the Common
Blue (Lycena icarus), the Small Heath (Caenonympha pamphilus),
the Meadow Brown (£pznephele janira), and the Common
Skipper (Hesperza sylvanus). In addition, the following moths
were picked up :— |

NOTES on FLOWERING PLANTS.
Peucedanum sativum in Cumberland.—Referring to Miss Armitt’s
note in the November number, page 352, as to the finding of this plant at
Silloth, in October last, I may add that I found it at the place indicated by
Miss Armitt in July 1901, and recorded the fact in the April number of the
‘Naturalist ' this year, page 129. It is also worth mentioning that the late
Mr. Hodgson, of Workington, sent me a specimen of the plant in 1899,
which he had found on some ballast at Maryport. In a book of Mr.
Hodgsson's = (Cako) in my possession) there is a note in his own writing against
this plant, ‘ Railway slope near the Armstrong Range, Silloth,’ but unfor-
tunately there is no date given, though I have no Kaamoe that that note
refers to a ‘find’ prior to the publication of his ‘ Flora of Cumberland.’—
W. THOMSON, 14, Feversham Crescent, York, 11th November, 1902.
Plants seen in North-East Yorkshire (V.C. 62) in August 1902.—
For ten days I was at Robin Hood's Bay and think the following notes may
be of interest. I have marked with an asterisk (*) plants not mentioned in
Baker’s ‘ North Yorkshire’ :—
Ranunculus circinatus. At Malton (Dist. 3 of Baker).
“Ranunculus Flammula var. repens. In very good condition at Pilmoor
(Disth.2):
*Papaver Rheas var. Pryorit (Druce). At Brafferton (Dist. 2) and Cundall
(Dist. 8). ;
Sinapis nigra. At Malton (Dist. 3).
*“Spirea Ulmaria var. denudata. At Mallion’s Sout. Goathland (Dist. 4).
“Artemisia vulgaris var. coarctata. Frequent in Districts 4 (Robin Hood's
Bay) and 8 (Cundall and Topcliffe).
* Senecio viscosus. Near Whitby (Dist. 4).
Mentha piperita. Robin Hood's Bay (Dist. 4).
Lamium purpureum fl. albo. At Cundall (Dist. 8).
*Polygonum Convolvulus var. pseudo-dumetorum. Cundall (Dist. 8).
—H. J. RIDDELSDELL, St. Michael's College, Aberdare, 7th Sept. 1902.
Sedum villosum at Ingleborough.—The Rev. Mr. Riddelsdell’s
remarks on this subject in his paper (‘ Naturalist,’ November 1902, p. 337-
342) on ‘ Plants in the Bicheno Herbarium,’ have drawn my attention to the
matter. I am able to report that specimens of S. vz/losuwm L.—rather poor
ones, but unquestionable—were gathered at Helln (Alum) Pot in 1894 by my
friend Mr. Reginald J. Farrer, of Ingleborough Hall, and are now in my
herbarium. Mr. Farrer’s full label with them is—‘ Helln Pot, on Ingle-
borough, 2nd Sept. 1894.’ Found on the same day and in the same ramble
as my first specimens of Arenaria gothica Fr. R.J. F.”
The Bicheno specimen endorsement apparently gives ‘ Ingleborough’
simply, without any more precise indication of locality. Whether, therefore,
it continues the Ray record for (I. copy from ‘Synopsis Methodica Stirpium
Britannicarum: Editio Tertia: 1724’) ‘on the moist Rocks about JZzg/e-
borough-fiill, as you go from the Hill towards Horton in Rzbbles-Dale, in
a Ground where Peat is got in great plenty,’ or Mr. Woodward’s authority
in the (Old) ‘ Botanist’s ‘Guide’ by Turner and Dillwyn—published 1805—
‘Close by Weathercote Cove,’ or whether it represents an independent ,
station does not appear. :
The Ray locality is most distinctly connected with the mountain itself,
and apparently belongs to its directly eastward slope. Weathercote Cove
is near the north-western base of Ingleborough; Helln Pot in a’ similar
position on its north-east. Mr. Bicheno’s station may have been one of
these, or a similar though not identical one, and still be rightly though.
vaguely described as ‘Ingleborough.’ Anyhow, Mr. Farrer’s specimens
supply, if not an entirely new locality for the species, at any rate confirma-
tion of one which (vide Mr. Riddelsdell’s list, and also ‘Flora of West
Yorkshire’) has not been corroborated tor at least seventy years.— WILLIAM
