THE VERTEBRATE FAUNA OF HAREWOOD. 
R. FORTUNE, F.Z.S. 
At the Harewood Meeting of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, 
the Vertebrates Section was well represented. Seventy-eight 
species of vertebrates were observed, viz. :—six Mammals, 
sixty-eight Birds, three Fishes, and one Amphibian. 
Much interest was taken in the fine specimens of Waterfowl 
on the lakes, especially in the magnificent herd of Whooper 
Swans. Several pairs of Great Crested Grebes were nesting 
quite in the open, there being a total absence of cover on the 
big lake where these birds are. The Chiffchaff, an exceedingly 
scarce and local bird in Wharfedale, was seen and heard. Many 
species of birds had nests containing either eggs or young. 
It was very satisfactory to find that the Herons were increasing 
in numbers, and about ten nests were occupied, all containing 
young birds. 
On the keepers’ ‘ gibbet’ were three Crows, four Jack- 
daws, one Kestrel, one Jay, and three Sparrow Hawks. 
As there are practically no records for this district, a full 
list of the species seen is given.

The first portion of the entomological collection formed by the late 
J. W. Tutt, was sold in London recently, and fetched poor prices, not- 
withstanding the fact that there were many of the actual specimens upon 
which his varietal names were founded.
