232 HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
reference to the so-called Danes’ graves are certainly well up 
to date. 
From the few remarks which have been made it will be 
seen that in Adrian Hardy Haworth we had a naturalist—a 
native of Hull—of whom we have every reason to be proud. 
The facts which I have been able to place before your 
notice have been derived from a volume of Haworth’s 
pamphlets, &c., which had been kindly lent to me for the 
purpose by our late valued member, and Haworth’s grand- 
son, Col. B. B. Haworth-Booth, J.P., D.L., of Hullbank 
Hall. It is a matter for regret that Col. Haworth-Booth 
has died before the appearance of these notes, in the prepara- 
tion of which he took so deep an interest. 
Tue Biack Rat (J/us ratrus) at HuLti.—The specimen 
1 exhibited at a meeting of the Club the other day, was caught 
by a cat on the business premises of R. Wade, Sons & Co., 
on February 10th, 1901, and was a male, apparently scarcely 
half grown. Another was brought to me subsequently. My 
recollections of the black rat date back to July, 1881, when, 
as a boy, I used to see them running round the office along 
the skirting boards, any evening when | happened to be 
there after dark.—E. W. WabeE. 
PORONIA PUNCTATA—AN ADDITION TO THE YORKSHIRE 
Funcus FLORA.—In January last, Mr. T. Petch, B.Sc., B.A., 
obtained a specimen of Poronia punctata at Saltend Common, 
near Paull, on the Humber. This is an interesting and pretty 
species, and had not previously been recorded for Yorkshire. 
The identification has been confirmed by Mr. Chas. Cross- 
land, F.L.S., of Halifax.—J. FRASER ROBINSON.

ALG AT BArRTON-oN-HuMBER.—On the occasion of the 
excursion of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists’ Club 
to Barton during the past autumn, two interesting forms of 
fresh-water algz were obtained from the springs known as 
the Blow Wells, or Blue Wells, viz , Chetophora endivefolia 
and Batrachospermum atrum, var. Dillenti.
