Mr. Nelson added a ftw interesting remarks on the zoology of 

 the district. Mr. E. B. Emerson had noticed at Easby, his father's 

 residence, the Great Spotted, Lesser Spotted and Green Woodi)eckers, 

 Wryneck, Tree Creeper, Long Tailed Tit, Heron, Common Sand- 

 piper, Spotted Crake, and Cireat Snipe. The Rough-legged and 

 Common Buzzards have occurred several times at Ingleby, and as 

 lately as November last a Peregrine Falcon was killed there. He 

 also remarked that he had a letter from Mr. E. B. Emerson, J. P., of 

 ToUesby Hall, near Middlesbrough, dated the nth July, in which 

 he informed Mr. Nelson that a Nightingale {Daulias luscinia) had 

 frecjuently been heard singing in the grounds there. Mr. Emerson 

 has often heard the Nightingale in the South of England, and is 

 not likely to be mistaken. If this record is correct, it shows that 

 the range of this bird is steadily spreading northward ; it occurs 

 regularly at Harrogate, and there appears to be no reason why it 

 should not be heard in Cleveland. 



The Badgers which have from time to time been reported from 

 Ingleby are, doubtless, to be traced from Hutton Woods, where 

 Sir J. Pease turned out several some years since. 



An animal, supposed to be a hybrid between a Hare and a 

 Rabbit, was shot at Easby a it.^^ years ago, and is now in the 

 collection at ToUesby. It has the characteristic features of both 

 animals, and if not a hybrid, then it is hard to say what it is. 



For the Conchological Section, in the absence of all its officers, 

 the report was drawn up by Mr. Baker Hudson, M.C.S., of Middles- 

 brough, who had acted as leader of one of the parties during the 

 day, and who had been assisted in collecting by Mr. W. W. Reeves, 

 Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., Mr. T. A. Lofthouse, Rev. John 

 Hawell, and other members. Mr. Hudson being unable to stay to the 

 meeting, the report was given on his behalf by Mr. Roebuck, who 

 stated that the day's work had been very successful, a most interesting 

 species — Pupa ringens — having been added to the previously- 

 ascertained Kildale list. The main attention of the conchologists 

 was given to the land shells of Kildale Wood, no water shells having 

 .l)een found, or even searched for. The list is as follows : — 



Arion ater. Limax agrestis. 



Arion hortensis. Limax maximus. 



Arion bourguignati. Limax arborum. 



Sept. 1890.
