Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union: Annual Report, 1914. 45 
A summary of the work done by the Committee in the Lythe, 
Mulgrave and Sandsend district, 1894, I900, 1908, Ig10, IgII, 
1912 and 1913 appeared in the February issue, pp. 60-65. The 
results are tabulated on page 64, and show that 1,245 species 
have been noted in that small area alone. 
A report of the unofficial foray held by the Committee last 
June in same district, appears in the August issue, and shows a 
further addition of 22 species, of which, it will be seen, I2 are new 
to Yorkshire, 2 being additions to the British Flora. 
Investigations were continued at the annual foray, held 
October 3rd to 8th, in the same woods, when 37 still further 
additions were made, 8 being new to Yorkshire, one of which is 
new to Britain. Fuller particulars will appear in a detailed 
report of the foray. 
Mr. Roe, Scarborough, reported good work done at the 
Filey excursion, including a new Yorkshire species (The Naturalist 
August, p. 25). 
Miss C. A. Cooper represented the Committee at the Knares- 
borough Excursion (See The Naturalist, June, p. 181). 
At the Sleights Excursion Miss Cooper and Mr. A. E. Peck 
had charge of the Mycology. The results were most successful, 
there being several additions to the county flora (For Report see 
The Naturalist, pp. 319-322). 
Among the good things found about Scarborough by Mr. 
Peck was a fine specimen of Jnocybe rhodiola, having only one 
previous record for the British Isles. He has also met with the 
somewhat rare Spathularia clavata. 
GEOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Messrs. J. Holmes and C. Bradshaw report :—The Section was 
officially represented at all the excursions and the attendance 
was on the whole satisfactory, opportunities for practical work 
being possible on each occasion. 
KNARESBOROUGH.—In the gorge of the river Nidd between 
the town and Grimbalds’ Crag sections of Magnesian Limestone 
unconformable to Millstone Grit were examined. At Plumpton 
Rocks, pebbles in the grits and false bedding structure were 
noted, while the drift which overlies the Permian strata of the 
Nidd Valley afforded a subject for discussion. 
FitEy.—The coast sections between Filey Brig and Cayton 
Bay were carefully explored, and characteristic fossils from the 
Calcareous Grit and Gristhorpe plant-bed were obtained. On the 
hard rock underlying the Boulder Clay of Carr Naze, glacial 
striz were seen, and instances of ‘terminal curvatu:e’ detected. 
Shap granite and Brockram were among the travelled rocks 
collected. An inland excursion to the Wolds, south of the Vale 
1915 Jan. 1.
