aspersa, H. nemoralis, H. hortensis, H. Oantiana, H. rufescens, H. hispida, 
H. caperata, H. rotundata, H. pulchella, Vertigo pygmea, Clausilia 
rugosa, Cochlicopa tridens, O. lubrica, Achatina acicula, and Planorbis 
nitidus, - 
In entomology the specimens were collected by the Rev. G. P. 
Harris, of Richmond, Messrs. G. T. Porritt, F.L.S., and §. D. 
Bairstow, of Huddersfield, Messrs. W. Prest and W. Simmons of 
York, and others, but owing partly to the want of time and partly to 
the unfavourable weather, very little was done. One species, how- 
ever, turned up which was new to the county of Yorkshire. This was 
Zupithecia subciliata, which was first taken by Mr. Charles Smethurst, 
of Leeds, who captured two specimens in Copgrove woods; other two 
_ were taken by Mr. Jackson, and one by Mr. William Prest of York. 
Mr. Prest stated that among the species observed were Pieris napi 
(unusually large specimens), Liparis auriflua, Abraxas grossulariata, 
Lipione apiciaria, Acidalia bisetata, Coremia unidentaria, Camptogramma 
bilineata, Cidaria fulvata, Eubolia mensuraria, Goneptera libatrizx (larva), 
Tryphena pronuba, Scopula lutealis, Crambus tristellus, C. culmellus, 
Dictyopteryx Forsksleana, Argyrotoza Conwayana, Phoxopteryx Mitter- 
bacheriana, and Pterophorus fuscodactylus. Mr. Grassham, of Leeds, 
took a batch of larve of the buff-tip moth (Pygera bucephala). 
None of these insects can be considered rare, and the list is a very 
poor one. 
Plants were collected by Mr. James Abbott of Leeds, Mr. Webster 
of York, and others. Their lists included Ranunculus hederaceus, 
Nymphea alba, and Nuphar lutea in pond at Staveley ; Stellaria 
nemorum, Cerastium aquaticum, Hypericum perfoliatum, H. montanum, 
Hippuris vulgaris, Myriophyllum spicatum, Lythrum Salicaria, Bryonia 
diorca, Pimpinella Saxifraga, Sium angustifolium, Silaus pratensis, Myrrhis

arvensis, A. cotula, Campanula latifolia, Veronica Anagallis, Scrophularia 
nodosa, Verbena officinalis (Scriven), Echiwm vulgare, Hottonia palustris, 
Lysimachia vulgaris, Samolus Valerandi, Chenopodium Bonus-Henricus, 
 Rumex Hydrolapathum, Salix Smithiana? Lemna minor, Scirpus
