Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union: Annual Report, 1910. 57 
hospitality of the owner, Mr. W. Morrison, who right royally 
entertained some of the members of the Section during their 
four days’ stay. 
Three or four new records were directly or indirectly the result 
of the visit to Scunthorpe of the Y.N.U. and L.N.U., in August, 
when a disappointing day, conchologically, was saved by Dr. 
Wallace of Grimsby, who when scooping for water beetles, secured 
a specimen of two of the long-lost Lincolnshire shell Limnea 
glabra, and of its usual companion Planorbis spirorbts var. rotun- 
data. 
This discovery caused Messrs. Roebuck, Cobbam and Musham 
a month later to visit the spot to confirm the record, when these 
two shells were found fairly numerous, though ‘small, and we 
were enabled to delight the hearts of the botanists by submitting 
to them fifteen semi-aquatic plants, out of which three were 
new to the division, and one new to the entire county of Lincoln. 
These, together with four mosses and two characee (one 
possibly new to the county list), form sufficient material, though 
not all molluscan, for the conchologists of the two shires to claim 
the day as a red letter one. 
The officers of the Section for 1911 have been elected as 
follows :— 
President and Representative on Executive—William Cash, 
Halifax. 
Secretaries— John F. Musham, Selby ; T. W. Saunders, Brotton; 
and A. J. Moore, Hull. 
Representative on Committee of Suggestions—W. Harrison 
Hutton, Leeds. 
Marine Biology Committee.— Mr. F. H. Woods writes :—The 
most notable event of the year was the meeting of members of 
the Committee at Redcar, on September 2nd to 5th. Besides many 
zoophytes, crustaceans, etc., about 77 species of molluscs were 
collected, either in the form of shells washed up by the tide or 
living creatures. These included Tontcella rubra, Venus fasciata, 
Dentalium entalis, Odostomia unidentata, Odostomia turrita, Pyrga- 
lina interstincta, Turritella communis, Bela rufa, Mangtlia costata, 
Mangilia nebula, Clathurella linearis, Philine catena. These 
objects were arranged so as to form a temporary museum, and 
several residents, especially school teachers, inspected them. 
Considerable progress has been made during the year with a 
collection in the Hull Museum. This now includes 121 species 
of shells. Among those which are rare, at any rate, on the York- 
shire coast, and have mostly been added during the year, are 
Tonicella rubra (Runswick Bay), Nuculana minuta (Scarborough), 
Syndosmya prismatica (Filey, etc), Cochlodesma pretenue (Filey), 
Emarginula fissura (Redcar), Capulus hungaricus (Redcar, etc.), 
Venus fasciata (Redcar, etc.), Lamellaria perspicua (Bridlington),
