Reviews and Book Notices. 63 
there is much in the volume of general interest, and no one 
visiting the neighbourhood, and anxious to learn what is to 
be known about it, can afford to be without ‘Upper Nidder- 
dale.’ The volume is very full in so far as it relates to the 
history of the various old families living in the area. There 
are numerous illustrations, mostly of an excellent character. 
One of these we are kindly permitted to reproduce. 
Transactions of the Hull Scientific and Field Natu- 
ralists’ Club for the year 1906. Vol. III., Part IV., with 
Title page and Index. Edited by Thomas Sheppard, F.G.S. 
Price 2/6 net. A. Brown & Sons, Ltd., 1907. 8vo. 
We have once more to congratulate our Hull friends on the 
production of the account of another year’s excellent work, and 
on the part now before us, with its wealth of illustrations, which 
this time runs to an admirable coloured plate of the only known 
British Eggs of Pallas’ Sand Grouse, four eggs, of which Mr. 
T. Audas is the proud possessor. 
The part opens with a detailed account, by Mr. Sheppard, 
of a collection of Roman Antiquities from South Ferriby, in 
North Lincolnshire. The place is outside the East Riding, but 
only just on the other side of the Humber, and being his birth- 
place, the Editor is fully justified in preserving so complete an 
account of the interesting Roman remains, so fully described 
and illustrated in this paper, six plates being devoted to it. 
The next paper, by John Nicholson, deals with ‘Some 
Holderness Fighting Words,’ which would convey the idea 
that the East Yorkshireman is a particularly quarrelsome 
person, so great is his wealth of fighting words. The author 
might have added another word, ‘Snappers,’ the by-name of 
the 15th or East Yorkshire Regiment of the Line. Pure natural 
history follows, Mr. Boult’s pessimistic account of East York- 
shire Lepidoptera (hardly Entomology as he phrases it) in 1g06, 
and Mr. T. Dobbs’ report on East Yorkshire Conchology in 
1906, are succeeded by a Bibliography and List of East Riding 
Hymenoptera, in which the sparse total of 23 species is recorded 
as against nearly 600 in the Yorkshire County List. 
An excellent memoir, with portrait, of the great Hull Ento- 
mologist, William Spence, joint author of the famous Introduc- 
tion to Entomology, is full of interesting detail. 
Mr. R. H. Philip—a speaking likeness of whom, in conjunc- 
tion with other four ex-presidents of the society, forms the 
frontispiece—describes the work done in Diatoms in 1906; 
1907 February 1.
