TWO BARNSLEY NATURALISTS. 

WILLIAM BARRACLOUGH. 
Tue Barnsley Naturalist and Scientific Society has lost, in 
the persons of William Barraclough and Benjamin Turner, 
two of its oldest and strongest supporters. Both gentlemen 
were also members of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union. 

William Barraclough was a native of Barnsley, and, when 
quite a young man, joined the Barnsley Naturalists’ Society, 
which had then been in existence but a few years. At the 
time of his death, he was the oldest member of the Society. 
In 1876, he was elected Honorary Secretary, an office which he 
filled for three years, being the third member to hold the 
position. He was then elected Honorary Treasurer ; this 
office he held until the close of 1886, being the second member 
to fill the post. In 1896, he was again elected to this position,
