Since the above report was prepared and_ presented, 
Dr... Sharp, .F.KS., has ..deseribed” (22. Mo. Mag yeaa 
I., Jan. 1913) under the name ‘gulielmi’ a species of Bledius 
new to science, founded on three specimens taken by Mr. W. E. 
Sharp, F.E.S., in Yorkshire. From a note by the latter gentle- 
man on p. 14, we learn that he took four specimens, and that 
the precise locality was the banks of a small stream at Lin- 
thorpe near Middlesbrough. 
To the long list of good things included in the report, we 
have thus to add for the first time an insect new to science.

Mr. C. J. Gahan has been appointed first keeper of the new department 
of Entomology at the British Museum. 
‘In his ‘ Notes on Hydretonocrinus,’ printed in The Transactions of the 
Edinburgh Geological Society (Vol. X., pt. 1), Dr. F. A. Bather describes 
and figures specimens from Yorkshire and Derbyshire. 
From our contributor, Mr. T. Petch, who is now in Ceylon, we have 
received three valuable papers, reprinted from the Annals of the Roval 
Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya. ‘There are further notes on the Phall- 
oideae of Ceylon, Revisions of Ceylon Fungi, and the Ustilagineae and 
Uredineae of Ceylon. The plates accompanying the first paper are re- 
markably fine. 
We have many times had the pleasure of referring to the interesting 
and well written articles on natural history subjects, appearing in the 
Yorkshive Observer, in its ‘Out of Doors’ column, and in numerous 
special articles. And we have always looked to its columns for the most 
detailed accounts of the meetings and excursions of the various scientific 
societies in the county ; but surely journalistic perfection has been attained 
in the well illustrated report of the meeting of the vertebrate section of 
the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, held at Leeds a little while ago,
