for permission to visit the wood, to the manager of the Selby 
Waterworks, to Mr. Cheesman for making the local arrange- 
ments, and to Mr. J. F. Musham and Mr. W. Reeston for acting 
as guides to the geological party.— W. E. L. W. 
VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—Mr. E. W. Wade and Mr. A. 
Haigh-Lumby write :—Considerable attention was given to 
the edge of the wood, and the keeper’s gibbets were also exam- 
ined. Mr. Cawthorn informed us that there is a winter roost 
of the Rook in the wood, although no birds nest in the vicinity. 
This, of course, is contrary to the usual experience. Two 
members of this section report that the previous week they had 
seen nests of the Hawfinch, Chiff-Chaff and Goldfinch, but 
these escaped our vigilance. The species noted were :—

CoNCHOLOGY.—Mr. Greevz Fysher writes :—The Concho- 
logical section was represented by Mr. John Taylor, Mr. W. 
Denison Roebuck and myself. The dry conditions were not 
conducive to molluscan research. Much time was spent along 
a portion of the Hambleton Dyke, and also the Duckpond in 
the wood. The following species were recorded, viz. :— 
Arion ater. Hyalinia crystallina. 
A. ater var. plumbea. H. vadiatula. 
A. ater var. castanea. Helix nemoralts var. libellula (00000).
