156 HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
assisted in many ways by Dr. J. T. Riley, the Director of 
Studies. This Exhibition was on a scale not hitherto 
attempted by the Club. On this occasic: Mr. T. Audas’ 
excellent collection of Birds’ Eggs were on view for the 
first time. To menticn all the specimens would be rather 
a large undertaking, but I never remember an occasion on 
which the members worked so well and so willingly. The 
result was an Exhibition such as Hull had never seen pre- 
viously. Dr. H. Clifton Sorby, F.R.S., Mr. R...H. Philigy 
Dr. J. Hollingworth, Mr. J. F. Robinson, and Mr. J. R. 
Boyle, F.S.A., delivered attractive lectures in a side room 
during the Exhibition, which were well appreciated. The 
total receipts for the Exhibition were about £17. As might 
be expected the expenses were rather heavy, but after paying 
these there was a small balance in hand.

LIMN#A GLABRA AT SPROATLEY.—Amongst some material 
recently collected by Mr. C. Hollingworth for microscope 
work from a pond at Sproatley, I noticed some examples of 
Limnea glabva, and on subsequently visiting the locality, I 
found the shell in great abundance. This makes an additional 
locality for this species; the other places in the district at 
which it has been recorded being Hedon (Mr. T. Petch) ; 
Haltemprice Lane; Inglemire Lane (Mr. J. W. Boult); 
and Leconfield (Mr. J. D. Butterell}. (See Mr. Petch’s 
remarks on page 103).—F. W. Fierxe, M.C.S., Aug., 1goo. 
At Putrin Benn, River Hutt, Jury 7th, 1goo. 
Blue sky above, white clouds, and Summer rays 
That gleam on meadows stretching wide and green 
To Beverley’s grey pile, resting serene 
In solemn state—Time’s relic of lost days: 
A strong wind o’er the river’s surface plays 
Where darkening ripples dull its Summer sheen ; 
Low in the blast reed-plumes and sedges lean, 
Where pink Valerian tosses in a maze 
Of yellow Iris, panicles of grass, 
And perfumed Meadow-sweet ; in lowly state 
Blue-eyed Forget-me-nots and Orchids pale 
From rushy nests peep forth; where Marsh-peas mass 
Their trailing stems and blossoms fair—-elate 3 
O’er marsh and river sweeps the Summer gale. .
