24 Crossland : Addition to the Fungus Flora of Mulgrave. 



From 8.30 to 10 p.m. a conversazione was held in the 

 Museum by invitation of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists' 

 Club and Hull Geological Society. The members had thus an 

 opportunity of seeing- the collections as re-arrang^ed. When the 

 Union visited Hull in 1889 the Museum was under the control of 

 the Hull Literary and Philosophical Society, but has recently 

 been handed over to the town, and in June last was opened 

 to the public. Under the new manag^ement more reg"ard is paid 

 to local natural history, g-eolog"y, and antiquities. For a com- 

 parison of the Museum under the previous arrang^ement and at 

 present, references should be made to the description of the 

 collections on the prog'rammes on the two Hull Meetingfs. A 

 pleasant evening- was passed in the Museum by about 250 

 members and friends, and refreshments were provided. 



Several g-eologfists stayed overnig^ht, and on Thursday morn- 

 ing" examined the sections now being" exposed at Kelsey Hill, in 

 Holderness, under the guidance of Mr. Stather, President of the 

 Hull Geological Society, who reports that a numerous party of 

 members and associates, including Messrs. P. F. Kendall, 

 F.G.S., J. H. Howarth, F.G.S., W. L. Carter, M.A., F.G.S., 

 E. Hawkesworth, and J. Farrar, F. L. S., visited Burstwick and 

 Kelsey Hill, in central Holderness, to examine the glacial 

 gravels which, in the form of low hills, typically occur there. 

 Arriving at Kelsey Hill, it was seen that on the eastern flank of 

 the hill an extensive new quarry had been opened, exposing 

 a continuous section at least 400 yards long, varying from 

 10 feet to 30 feet in height. The beds consisted of fossiliferous 

 gravel, covered irregularly by boulder clay. From the gravel 

 shells were freely obtained, including numerous specimens of 

 Cyrena fliiminalis. The disposition of the boulder clay with 

 regard to the underlying gravel was also remarkably clear and 

 significant. 



The Burstwick Gravel Pit, famous for its extensive natural 

 collection of erratics, was also visited. Several examples of 

 Scandinavian rocks were recognised, and others from the 

 Cheviots and the South of Scotland. Details of these will 

 probably appear in the Boulder Report. 



The Annual Meeting next year will be held at Sheffield by 

 invitation of the Sheffield Naturalists' Society.
