FIELD NOTES. 
ARACHNIDA. 
A Pseudo-=-scorpion new to Yorkshire.—Chernes rujfeolus 
Sim. To the list of the counties (Vzde ‘ Nat.’ for Oct.) in which 
this pseudo-scorpion has occurred, Yorkshire may now be 
added. On Oct. 12th I secured two examples in the cracks 
between the flagstones which formed the floor of a barn at 
Broak Oak, Linthwaite, Colne Valley. The full list for the 
county embraces five species, Chthonius rayt L. Koch., 
Obistum muscorum Leach., Cheltfer latretllet Leach., Chernes 
nodosus Schr., and Chernes rufeolus Sim.—Wwmn. FALCONER, 
Slaithwaite, October 21st, 1907. 
A Spider new to Northumberland.— 77gellinus furcillatus 
Menge. In the ‘ Naturalist’ for May, 1go1, p. 160, the Wes- 
senden Valley, near Huddersfield, is noted as being the most 
northerly point at which this very rare spider has been found. 
This is no longer correct; an adult female, which I took near 
Staward Peel in the above county, Aug., 1907, places its limit 
of distribution much further north. The specimen has been 
kindly compared by Dr. A. Randell Jackson with females 
obtained by him in Delamere Forest, Cheshire, July, 1906.

BIRDS. 
Woodcock in Littondale.—It may interest those members 
of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union who have been investigating 
the fauna of Littondale to know that in 1905, on three occasious 
in June and July, I flushed a Woodcock in ‘ Gildersbank,’ near 
the Cave. I could not find a second bird or a nest, but it is very 
probable that there would be a second bird if I had only been 
fortunate enough to see it. 
A few are always shot in Littondale later in the season, but 
these will no doubt be the usual autumn visitors.—J. W. 
Datton, 7, Manningham Lane, Bradford. 
Winter Migrants at Sedbergh.—The following are par- 
ticulars of the arrival of our winter migrants in this district :— 
Bramblefinch, Oct. 7th; Redwing, Oct. roth; Siskin, Oct. 15th; 
Fieldfare, Oct. 15th. I saw two Swallows on the 21st Oct., 
rather late for our district.—Ww. Morris, Sedbergh. 
Red-backed Shrike nesting near York in 1881.— 
Referring to Mr. Oxley Grabham’s note on the nesting of the 
Red-backed Shrike near Pickering this summer (ade p. 325), it
