136 HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
exhibited in the Museum at Driffield. If this be the case, it 
should be asked: What has become of so great a number ? 
In attempting to answer the question, I will briefly refer to 
each collector’s labours. 
(1.) The late Edward Tindall, of Bridlington, not only 
commenced to collect more than 50 years ago, but he held 
almost unrivalled access to a field rich from both a 
geological and archeological point of view. Besides, he 
was personally a diligent collector, so much so as to call 
forth, at times, uncomplimentary remarks from superficial 
observers. On one occasion, whilst gathering specimens 
in a field near the sea, at Bridlington, two ladies were 
passing, and he overheard one remark to the other, ‘* Look 
here, that poor old (meaning ‘demented’) man we saw last 
year is here again, picking up stones and throwing them 
down again.” These ‘‘ stones,” of course, were the rejected 
specimens. I myself, when similarly engaged, have been 
accused of mushroom gathering. 
Mr. Tindall obtained a great number of specimens, but 
he was always ready to dispose of them whenever any 
collector, no matter from whence, wished to buy. Never- 
theless, he generally had on hand a considerable number of 
both geological and archeological specimens, and amongst 
them were often some choice ones. After his death, in 1877, 
at the age of 63, the collection he had then on hand was 
sold. Part of this was obtained by Mr. Robert Gatenby, of 
Bridlington, but what became of the remainder I do not 
know. 
(2.) The late Mr. George Pycock, of Malton, made a 
collection, which he sold, many years ago, to the late 
Dr. Rooke, of Scarborough, and it is now in the private 
museum of Dr. Rooke’s son at Scarbro’. 
(3.) The Rev. Canon Greenwell, of Durham, amassed a 
large number of valuable specimens (independently of those 
he obtained from his excavations of the barrows), the 
greater number of which have been gathered from the surface 
of the wold hills and the immediate neighbourhood. These 
the Canon sold in July, 1896, to Dr. Sturge, of Nice, and 
they are now in the south of France, to the great loss of 
East Yorkshire. 
(4.) The late Frederick Porter, of Yedingham, had 
gathered together several hundreds of stone and flint tools, 
among which were some good specimens. He disposed of
