IIO HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
occurring at or about the neighbourhood of Hull, was published in 1859.* 
This pamphlet betrays evidence of indefatigable zeal, patience, and 
acquirement. . . . Several interesting papers, emanating from the different 
members of the Society, have appeared from time to time in the metro- 
politan scientific journals.’'} 
In addition to his excellent local list of diatoms already 
referred to,} the following references to Norman’s paper occur 
in Mr. F. W. Mill’s ‘Introduction to the Diatomaceze.’’s§ 
“Notes on some new and rare Diatomacee from the Stomachs of 
Ascidians.”” Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., 1858, page 158. 
“On Rhizosolena,”’ op. cit., 1858, page 158. 
‘*On some undescribed species of Diatomacez.'"’ ‘‘T. M. S., 1861, 
page 5.” 
‘Diatomaceous Deposits,"’ Q. J. M. S., 1868, page 218. 
“Hunting for Diatomacee.’’ ‘Intell. Observ.”’ [no date. | 
Mr. Norman also contributed some ‘‘ Notes on Ascide as a 
source for Diatomacez”’ in the Zoologist for 1857 (page 5772). 
Although the study of diatoms was such a favourite one 
with so many naturalists during Norman’s time, he was able 
to make several additions to our knowledge on the subject. 
Some new species which he found were named after him; 
others he named in honour of his friends and fellow-workers, 
J. D. Sollitt and R. Harrison; for example, there are Coscino- 
discus Normani, Pleurosigma Normani, Odontidium Harrisonit, 
and Aulacodiscus Sollittianus. 
Mr. Norman's excellent microscope and his collection of 
several hundred slides are now preserved in the Museum in 
Albion Street. 
Though it is manifest that Norman took a keen interest in 
botanical matters, I have not been able to find that he 
published anything relating to that subject. He has, however, 
supplied others with material. He had a great liking for 
ferns, exotic and British, and had a very fine collectlon of the 
former in his greenhouses; several of the plants are still 
living and in the possession of his sister, Miss Norman. A 
great number of the excellent illustrations in Lowe’s “ Ferns, 
British and Exotic” (8 vols., 1855-1860), are from specimens 
* A second edition of this was issued in 1865, and contained numerous 
additions to the previous list —T. S. 
{ Sheahan’s “‘ History of Hull,’ 1864, page 509. . 
{ The paper ‘‘On the Diatomacez in the neighbourhood of Liver- 
pool”’ is included in Mr. Mill's list in error. It was not compiled by 
Norman. 
§ Our president, Mr. Philip, is busy revising this list and bringing it 
up to date, and the probability is it will be printed in our Transactions 
before long.
