68 Notes and Comments. 
Carr, gives a list of new Nottinghamshire spiders and false- 
scorpions, together with some notes on new and rare Notting- 
hamshire plants. Our contributor, Mr. H. Wallis Kew, 
describes a recent addition to the British false-scorpions. 
BRADFORD NATURALISTS. 
No. 11 of the Bradford Scientific Journal has appeared, and 
we are pleased to notice that with the twelfth issue there will 
be an index to the parts already published. In the present 
part is an account of the Ice Age in Wharfdale, by Mr. F. Hall, 
in which some sections in the drift, etc., are described; and 
there are notes on Local Cockroaches by Mr. J. W. Carter ; 
Local Flies, by Mr. J. H. Ashworth; and some interesting 
notes concerning the Nightjar by Mr. A. Badland, in which 
he describes the sound of the bird as ‘a weird, long-drawn 
KeereeeeereeeOrrrrrrreerrr.’ This paper is illustrated by a plate 
containing photographs by Mr. J. W. Forrest, showing the 
eggs, young, and the adult bird on the nest. A useful feature 
is the summary of natural history observations during the year 
1906, which includes the various reports of the recorders of 
another Bradford society, the Bradford Natural History and 
Microscopical Society. The Bradford Scientific Journal gives 
evidences of continued enthusiasm on the part of the Bradford 
naturalists. There is one little point, however, that we do not 
quite like with regard to the journal, and that is the nature of 
the advertisements. That on the cover, in which we are told 
to drink Blank’s tea, which may be blended ‘scientifically,’ 
being particularly ugly. 
RECORDERS’ REPORTS. 
Another Bradford Society, the Bradford Natural History and 
Microscopical Society, has favoured us with a copy of its 
recorders’ reports for 1906, which occupy a pamphlet of sixteen 
pages, and are principally reprinted from the Bradford Scientific 
Journal, Mr. J. Beanland contributes Phanerogamic Botany ; 
Mr. Malone, Cryptogamic Botany; Mr. H. B. Booth, Verte- 
brate Zoology; Mr. F. Rhodes, Conchology; Mr. J. W. 
Carter, Lepidoptera, and a note on Local Cockroaches; Mr. 
J. Ashworth, Diptera; Microscopy by Mr. F. C. Sewell; and 
Geology by Mr. J. H. Ashworth. We notice that the Society 
has resolved to print the whole of the records made since its 
formation, and that the Society’s financial position warrants it. 
Mr. Badland, who is largely responsible for the Bradford 
Scientific Journal, is the President of the Natural History and 
Naturalist,
