For the Conchological Section, of which one of the Secretaries, 

 Mr. John Emmet, F.L.S., of Boston Spa, was present, the report 

 was given by Mr, W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., who stated that the 

 conchologists present during the day (amongst whom may be 

 particularly mentioned Mr. W. Nelson, of Leeds, who in company 

 with Mr. Roebuck investigated the neighbourhood of Bullcliffe 

 Wood and a pond near Crigglestone Station, and Mr. J. E. Crowther, 

 of Elland, who had collected in Coxley Valley) had toiled all day 

 for but slender results, the unfavourable character of the geological 

 formation combining with the dryness of the weather and the 

 parched nature of the soil to militate against success. Seventeen 

 species in all had been found, of which four were slugs and three 

 were freshwater shells. The specimens of Flanorlns albtis found in 

 the pond near Crigglestone showed a tendency to distortion and 

 a turning down of the mouth. The other water- shells were 

 a Fisidium, and, of course, Limncea peregra. The slugs were 

 Limax agrestis, Armi ater, A. hortensis, and A. bourguignati. 

 Of land-shells Azeca tridens and Zonites excavatus were found by 

 Mr. Crowther in Coxley Valley, along with Succineaputris, Z. cellarius, 

 Z. fulvtis. Helix nernoralis, //. riifescens, and Claiisilia rugosa, while 

 H. rotimdata. and Z. alliarhis were found in Bullcliffe Wood. 



The Entomological Section was not officially represented at the 

 meeting, but Mr. S. L. Mosley, F.E.S., of Huddersfield, who 

 attended the excursion, writes that but little work was done, the 

 members having to hurry too much. In Bretton Park, Etipithecia 

 pyg7ncenta and Melanippe hastata were taken, and the trees in Stone- 

 clifFe Wood were defoliated by the Winter Moth {Hybernia defoliarid). 

 Here the larvje of Pcecilocampa poptdi were found, and galls of 

 Andn'ais terminalis were common and large ; galls of A. radicis
