the members devoted the week-end to investigating the fauna of 
Malham Tarn; the owner, Mr. Walter Morrison, J.P., giving

Easington and Spurn, July oth to r1th.—A pleasant week-end 
was spent at the south-eastern extremity of the county, the recent 
ravages of the sea and their effect upon the district, giving the 
excursion a peculiar interest. The geologists also had a definite 
piece of work in hand, which they successfully accomplished. 
Mr. J. W. Stather presided at the Society’s head quarters, at 
the Marquis of Granby Hotel, Easington. A report of the excur- 
sion appeared in “ The Naturalist’ for September. 
Kirby Moorside.—August Bank Holiday week-end was held 
at Kirby Moorside, Kirkdale, Rievaulx, etc. The famous cave

Sheppard read a paper on the subject, and exhibited a recently 
prepared plan, which has since been published in the Union’s

Unfortunately the meeting clashed with the British Association 
Meeting at Sheffield; but, nevertheless, an excellent amount of 
work was accomplished, as will be seen from the Rev. F. H. Wood’s 
report in ‘“‘ The Naturalist’? for November. The Committee
