98 Bombardment of Hartlepool, Whitby and Scarborough. 
of the development of our own, or points to some special 
sense-organs of which we are ignorant, is a question of much 
interest. It is strongly held by many students, that certain 
animals have more than the five senses which man uses— 
other senses which he cannot understand simply because of 
his lack of them or of their development. 
At any rate, the somewhat ‘ hysterical’ behaviour of the 
pheasants and other birds at such a great distance from the 
scene of the bombardment seems noteworthy, and it would be 
useful to know if anything similar occurs within sound of 
gun-testing grounds, or in the countries which are, alas! 
now becoming too familiar with the booming of the great 
guns. Of course, the disturbance coming at the birds’ awaking 
time counts for much, but not, I think, for all.

We regret to announce the death of the Rev. F. H. Woods, of Bainton. 
A photo and notice will appear in our next issue. 
We received some little time ago the Handbook of the Amateur Camping 
Club which contains numerous illustrations of the various and numerous 
camping equipments, as well as of many ways of preparing various appli- 
ances. It should prove most useful and interesting in camping. 
With reterence to our remarks in The Naturalist last month in refer- 
ence to the Report of the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society’s 
Report, Mr. W. Mansbridge informs us that acknowledgments to this 
journal will be made in the preface published with the new list. 
The daily press has recently had much to say about a Mastoden tooth 
found at Southwark, now in the London musuem. In Nature it is pointed 
out that ‘if really found near Southwark, the specimen must certainly 
be a mammoth’s tooth,’ such as may be found in most museums. 
At the annual meeting of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, held 
on February 8th, it was announced that the president, Mr. W. H. St. 
Quintin, J.P., had presented to the museum a specimen of the Great 
Bustard, which had been killed in the East Riding of Yorkshire. 
We have received Old- Love Miscellany of Orkney, Shetland, Caithness 
and Sutherland, part 1 of volume 8, 64 pages, which contain much useful 
information relating to the antiquities, old-lore, etc., of the North of 
Britain, published by the Viking Society for Northern Research, Univer- 
sity of London. It is illustrated. 
In Britush Birds (Vol. 8, No. 6) is a well illustrated article on ‘ Cor- 
morants in Norfolk,’ by E. L. Turner. In No. 7, W. Farren writes on 
‘Feeding Habits of the Sparrow Hawk,’ and the editor gives remarkable 
results of his bird-marking scheme; one ornithologist alone is credited 
with ringing 2,521 birds ! There are notes on ‘ Probable Yellow-browed 
Warblers in Nottinghamshire ’; ‘ White’s Thrush in Northumberland,’ etc. 
At a recent meeting of the Lancashive and Cheshive Entomological 
Society, Mr. W. Mansbridge read a paper entitled, ‘ Silverdale as a Collecting 
Ground.’ He gave a brief survey of the geology and flora of the district, 
and enumerated a large number of local species of lepidoptera, generally 
rare in the north of England, which had been recorded from that favoured 
area. Many of these however had not been reported for a couple of 
dec: des or longer, and members were urged to endeavour to confirm such 
recc ts as L. corydon, T. betule, P. egevia, E. hyperanthes, L: nunima, 
S. malv@e, S. anomala, A. marginepunctata, L. olwata and E. teniata; all 
of which had been recorded some thirty years ago.
