to put in an appearance ; this rather left us in a dilemma 

 as to the route, however, by the aid of maps in the possession of 

 Rev. J. C. Fowler and Mr. Simpson, and with assistance the 

 obtained from the "natives" we were able to trace out the 

 principal features as outlined in the programme ; but owing 

 to the mist and drizzle it was not possible to obtain a fine 

 view of the district. Very little work was done by any of the 

 members owing to the miserable state of the weather. The 

 route seemed to be a very interesting one, and it would be 

 well to repeat the meeting at some future time, when it is 

 hoped that better fortune will await us both as regards 

 weather and guides. 



Ingleby Gkeenhow. — A party of 15 took part in the meeting 

 held at Ingleby Greenhow on Saturday, August 20th, when 

 the afternoon being fairly fine (although threatening as usual) 

 and having the advantage of our President, the Eev. J. 

 Hawell, as guide on ground with which he is naturally well 

 acquainted, the outing proved to be a successful one, The 

 route taken by the general party was along the Eosedale 

 Railway as far as the incline foot, from thence into 

 " Midnight," and back across the fields to Ingleby Greenhow. 

 Some interesting plants were obtained by the Botanists, one 

 or two being, I understand, particularly noteworthy. Mr. 

 Hawell pointed out the various features of interest en route. 

 Botton Head, the highest point in the Cleveland Hills, was viewed, 

 but not ascended by any of tbe party to my knowledge. 



Two or three of the members who were interested in 

 Entomology, went up to the moors near "Turkey Nab" and 

 worked the heath for one or two insects that it was expected 

 might occur there, but without success, the afternoon being 

 very windy and cool — the evening being worse, if anything - 

 with the result that insect life was notable by its absence, a 

 not unusual occurrence this summer. 



Yorkshire Naturalists' Union Meetings. — Members of the 

 Club attended the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union meetings at 

 Walshford Bridge, Filey, Goathland, and Bowes. 



The only meeting held in our district — viz., Goathland, on 

 June 27th — was attended by 7 of our members. The day 

 being exceptionally fine, they had a very enjoyable and 

 instructive outing, the Geologists being especially fortunate in 

 having Mr. Percy F. Kendall as guide on ground with which 

 he is very familiar and very widely known in connection with, 

 through his able work on "The Glacier Lakes of the Cleve- 

 land Hills."
