Yorkshire Coast Erosion Committee. — The Convener, Mr. 

 E. R. Matthews, writes: "There is nothing special to report re 

 Coast Erosion in 1909. We have had one or two rather severe 

 northerly and north-westerly gales during the early part of the 

 3^ear, accompanied by heavy seas, but no unusually great erosion 

 occurred, as the gales did not occur at Spring Tides. 



I do not know of any sea defence work which has been con- 

 structed this year on the Yorkshire Coast, except that the Bridling- 

 ton Corporation put down a groyne on the north foreshore 

 to replace an old one which had been there for forty years, and 

 which had become very dilapidated."

Carboniferous Flora and Fauna Committee. — Dr. Kidston 



regrets that it has not been possible for him to prepare the final 

 report of the Yorkshire Carboniferous Flora this year. 



Mr. Culpin writes : — In the Doncaster district, Mr. H. T. Foster 

 has found, in the roof of the Duncil seam at the Bentley Colliery, 

 specimens of an Anthracomya, wdiich is believed to be a new species. 

 In other respects there has not been much opportunity for work 

 near Doncaster, the pit sinking during the year having been con- 

 fined to the rocks overlying the Coal Measures. Collecting grounds 

 have, however, been noticed at Shafton and at Crofton, which 

 it is hoped local workers may, by this reference, be stimulated to 

 investigate. Several plants have been obtained in an excellent 



Naturalist,
