Mr. T. Stainforth adds that on the cliffs north of Filey many 

 lizards were seen running actively about. One of the party 

 secured a specimen by its tail, whereupon the creature snapped 

 off this seemingly unnecessary appendage, and escaped. 



For the conchologists Mr. J. E. Crowther reports that his 

 section included the Rev. W. C. Hey, Messrs. W. Denison 

 Roebuck, T. Fetch, and T. Castle. 



Considering the number present, and that several of the 

 members spent the week-end in the district, the result of their 

 work is perhaps not so good as might have been expected. 

 Altogether, the number of species noted was 32, made up of 

 7 slugs, 16 land and 9 fresh-water species. The most note- 

 worthy ot these is Atnalia sowerbyi, found near the railway 

 station by Messrs. Hey and Roebuck ; Pupa anglica, by Mr. 

 Fetch (which had not been previously recorded for the district 

 south of Filey), and a large form of Limncea palnstris, found by 

 Mr. Castle in one of the ponds on the cliflFs south of Filey. 

 Helix nemoralis was very abundant and variable ; Mr. Castle, 

 who devoted special attention to this species, noting no fewer 

 than 1 9 varieties of colour and banding. The following is 

 a complete list of the species recorded : —
