Excursions. — All through the summer, Saturday after- 

 noons, Bank Holidays, &c, have been devoted to field work, 

 and though we have for many years been traversing East 

 Yorkshire in pursuit of Natural History, the excursions 

 during the past summer have been well attended, and many 

 new records have been made in the different sections. The 

 following is a list of the plaees visited : — North Cave, Filey 

 and Scarborough (with Hull Geological Society), Hall Ings, 

 Wawne, Kelsey Hill, Barton and South Ferriby, North 

 Ferriby, Immingham, Haltemprice Lane, North Grimston 

 (with Yorkshire Naturalists' Union), Paull, Pulfin Bog and 

 Driffield (by invitation of the Driffield Naturalists' Society), 

 Hornsea Mere and Aldborough (with Hull Geological 

 Society), Kirby and Bentley, Newport and Walling Fen, 

 Leven Canal and Beverley (by invitation of the President, 

 Mr. T. Audas, L.D.S.), Sutton, South Cave, &c. (with Hull 

 Geological Society), Western Reservation, Hedon and Salt- 

 end, Brock-o-dale and Askern, Little Weighton, and Ferriby 

 and Hessle. 



On the occasion of the Driffield excursion we were hos- 

 pitably entertained by our members there, tea being kindly 

 provided by Mr. and Mrs. Dry. The visit to Leven Canal 

 and Beverley will also long be remembered by those who 

 were there, partly on account of the glorious walk along the 

 Canal and Hull Bank, and partly on account of the excellent 

 manner in which the President had arranged to appease the 

 appetites acquired during the afternoon.
