EVIDENCES RELATING TO EAST HULL. 97 



will be intersected by a thoroughfare as necessary for bright- 

 ing the dull places of that oddly named locality as for the 

 convenience of its trade. Then the narrow, crooked and 

 squalid rows and lanes through which the growing traffic 

 has struggled, will give place to fitting and dignified means 

 of approach to the City of Kingston-upon-Hull. 



Of those who have kindly given me information on par- 

 ticular points I must here thank Mr. Fred. A. Scott, Mr. J. 

 Spyvee Cooper, and Mr. H. F. Smith in respect of lands in 

 Drypool and the Groves, Councillor J. G. Hall, who has 

 studied the Drypool Registers, Mr. G. H. Hill, who has 

 investigated the ancient boundaries, and Mr. W. Brown, for 

 permission to copy some drawings in his possession. I have 

 mentioned other names in the text, particularly that of Mr. 

 J. R. Boyle, F.S.A., in respect of the older documents which, 

 by leave of the Corporation, I was able to consult. And I 

 must add the name of our Editor, Mr. Sheppard, who, having 

 set me the task, has facilitated it with a patience which I can 

 only hope is unfeigned ! 



REFERENCES. 



For the possessions of Meaux Abbey — the Chronica Monasterii de 

 Melsa, in the Master of the Rolls' Series. For the lands of Swine Priory 

 — the Stowe MSS. in the British Museum. For wills, except a very few 

 that I have seen — the Registry at York. For transactions in land during' 

 the eighteenth century — the East Riding Registry at Beverley, which, 

 as regards Drypool, might be searched with profit. I have used a few 

 private documents. It has sometimes seemed necessary to quote from 

 local histories, but, in general, the matter of this paper is new. I have 

 not been able to deal with Marfleet. 



.Vebria livida at Withernsea. — In Mr. C. Russell's list 

 of local Coleoptera, printed in the Transactions of this Club 

 for 1900, reference is made to the former occurrence of 

 of this rare and local species near the St. Andrew's Dock, 

 Hull. It is also known to occur at Filey, Bridlington, 

 and Hornsea. During the summer of 1902, Mr. Dohl has 

 succeeded in securing a specimen at Withernsea — a new 

 locality for it. — T. Stainforth.
