various publications bearing the name of ‘Naturalist’ which 
have appeared under the editorship of Messrs. Wood, Morris, 
Hobkirk, Porritt, and others, and in the earlier volumes of the 
Annals and Magazine of Natural History, and of the Proceedings 
of the Zoological Society. 
The most important and probably the only separate work 
devoted to any part of the Yorkshire vertebrate fauna is Mr. 
Cordeaux’s Birds of the Humber District (1872), a valuable con- 
tribution—not only to the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire fauna— 
but to British ornithology generally, and abounding in original 
observations on the important subject of migration. For the 
whole district—the Yorkshire half of which is equivalent to 
Holderness and the Wolds—z28o species are enumerated. 
Of Manuscript information, the authors have had (through 
the kindness of his son-in-law, Mr. W. Pumphrey) the advantage 
of consulting the original MS. of Mr. Thomas Allis’s Report on the 
Birds of Yorkshire (1844). This list, which includes 258 species, 
has been of much assistance from the evidence it contains as to the 
faunistic position of various species at that and earlier dates, 
besides the numerous records of occurrences. 
Manuscript lists have been furnished by numerous 
naturalists of the county. Of these the following have contributed 
lists of the mammalia, reptiles, and freshwater fishes of their 
respective districts (those marked * having also contributed lists
