Proceedings, etc., of the Hull Junior Field Naturalists' Society, Vol. I., 

 Part I, Edited by Albert J. Moore (Hon. Secretary). Price i/- net, 8vo. 

 [No date on title ; introduction dated January 1910]. 



The Junior Naturalists of Hull are to Ije congratulated on this first 

 number of their proceedings, and still more on their firm grasp of the essen- 

 tial principle of including nothing but what is local. The only exception 

 is ]\lr. A. Werner's paper on ' Photo-micrography,' but this is a class of 

 paper which, when properly done, is printable in any journal. The 

 Society's actual proceedings show evidence of energy and well-directed 

 activity. The papers deal with varieties of MoUusca new to the East 

 Riding, note on Mdampiis inyasotis near Saltend Common, Botanical 

 Notes, a paper in which the British nativity of Selaginopsis ini'rabh'lis 

 found off Flamborough is accepted, a record of Eryoii aiitiqitiis from the 

 Yorkshire Lias, some recent geological and archaeological notes, a list ot 

 some Withernsea fungi, a list of East Yorkshire spiders, harvestmen and 

 pscudoscoipions, a list of spiders and harvestmen collected in 1909 in 

 North Lincolnshire, a few ornithological notes, a record of Silpha thoracica 

 for Market Weighton, note on a Romano-British urn found in East York- 

 shire, and of a stone adze foimd at Withernsea. The respective authors 

 are Albert J. Moore, C. Waterfall, John C. Craven, H. Knight, James 

 Ritchie, M.A., B.Sc, A. Werner, T. Sheppard, F.G.S., A. M. Murley. 

 Arthur R. Warner, E. A. Parsons, M. Ling, F.Z.S., and E. Sawyer. Typo- 

 graphically the part is a handsome one, and it is pleasing to note that the 

 species in lists, and the salient points in other papers, are indicated by the 

 use of thick-faced type, but the use of wire-stitching is entirely imsuitable 

 to a publication like this, which is of permanent value. There are several 

 illustrations, and a frontispiece. In the latter case we would suggest that 

 it is perfectly useless to figure a ' Pseudoscorpion ' without stating both 

 its name and its locality. However, this only brings out into prominent 

 relief — as does also the note on Pavanicpciuni aityelia — the unscientific 

 ways of microscopists, who have (as a class) still to learn that their slides 

 and objects should be labelled fully and precisely, and that a slide of 'leg 

 of fly ' or ' hairs of plants ' arc of not the slightest use unless it is stated 

 what is the name and the locality of either the ' fly ' or the ' plant.' — R.
