POSTPONEMENT OF EXCURSIONS FOR I917. 



In accordance with the National call for economy, and 

 having regard to the curtailment of travelling facilities and 

 increase of railway fares, the Executive Committee of the 

 Yorkshire Naturalists' Union decided that the Excursion 

 Programme arranged for the present year shall be postponed 

 until 1918. We notice also that the British Association for 

 the Advancement of Science will not hold its annual Conference 

 this year, though the General Committee, and possibly the 



1917 May J.
