portion named have collapsed. The contour of the ground also is 

 very visibly altered through subsidences that have occurred. The 

 Club was indebted to Mr. W. J. Moscrop for permission to visit 

 the Earl of Zetland's Grounds at Upleatham. 



The second meeting was held at Kiltoii, on the 18th May, 

 when the largest party of the season turned out, there being about 

 30 members present, most of whom went by the early train to 

 Carlin How. On arrival, the party were met by Mr. Garbutt (a 

 local member of our Club), who conducted most of them through 

 the "Woods to the Castle. On arrival at the Castle, a short 

 description of the remains was given by Mr. J. S. Calvert. The 

 botanists found the ground very interesting, and some 67 plants 

 were noticed in flower. Not much was noticed by the 

 entomologists, the afternoon apparently not being favourable. 

 Lord Downe and W. H. A. Wharton, Esq., granted permission ' 

 to visit the Woods. 



The third meeting was held at Hilton, on June 8th, when 

 about 20 attended. I have no report as to the result of this 

 excursion. I believe the i^arty found the day too hot to do much 

 investigating. 



The next excursion, being a coast one to »Staithes, took place 

 on July 6th, being postponed from June 29th on account of the 

 tide not being suitable. A fair number of members attended. 

 The geologists of the party had a very good time, working along 

 the shore from Stailhes to Runswick, under the able guidance of 

 our Yice-President, Dr. Veitch, F.G.S. The botanists went over 

 to Runswick by the Cliffs, and the entomologists of the party 

 worked round about the vicinity of Staithes, the principal and 

 practically only find being the caterpillars of the mallow moth, 

 EuhoUa cervinata, which occurred fairly plentifully on mallow 

 plants near the station. A good deal of apparently favourable 

 grountl in the neighbouring woods was worked pretty well during 

 the afternoon, but proved to be very barren, nothing of anj"" note 

 in the insect line being turned up. 



The fifth meeting, postponed from July 13th to July 20th, 

 was down to be held at Yarm for the purpose of working the banks 

 of the Tees. From some unaccountable reason the excursion 

 proved a blank. I heard of 4 or 5 members turning up, but they 

 all seem to have missed each other, and in consequence there 

 seems to have been very little done. The day was fine, but 

 extremely hot, and this may have somewhat afi'ected our members 

 on this occasion.
