Bullfinch, Corn and Yellow Buntings, Starling, Magpie, Jackdaw,. 

 Rook, Skylark, Swift, Sparrowhawk, Mallard, Ring Dove, Corn- 

 crake, Waterhen, Common Snipe, and Sandpiper. Reptiles were 

 unrepresented, and the only amphibians recorded were the common 

 Frog and Toad. The following fish were seen in Crimple Beck : — 

 Perch, Stickleback, Minnow, and Trout. 



The report of the Conchological Section was given by one of its 

 secretaries, Mr. John Emmet, F.L.S., of Boston Spa, who stated that 

 Mr. Roebuck and himself were the only members of the section 

 present, that no attention had been given to the land shells, but that 

 the mill-race at Fullwith Mill, and the noble pond in Rudding Park 

 had been searched ; in the former, which is the locality in which 

 Mr. Fitzgerald had been so fortunate as to find some of the largest 

 specimens of Pla?iorbis albus on record, that species was abundant, 

 though no very large specimens turned up ; and with it were 

 numerous Linm&a peregra and Spharium corneum ; and at Rudding 

 Park the two first-named were also abundant, in company with 

 Limncea auricularia of moderate dimensions. The only slug seen 

 was Limax agrestis. Mr. Emmet remarked that the L. auricularia 

 was an addition to Mr. Fitzgerald's list as given in the excursion- 

 circular, although he had himself obtained it in Plumpton Lake 

 many years ago ; he also remarked on his having in former years- 

 obtained large Anodonta cygnea in the Plumpton Lake. 



The Entomological Section was not officially represented, but 

 Mr. Walter Copley, of Sowerby Bridge, has supplied the following list 

 of insects : — Satyrus janira, Campiogramma bilineata, Cidaria fulvala,. 

 Eubolia i?iensuraria, Tanagra chcerophyllata, Hydrcecia niciiians, 

 Xylophasia sublusiris, Triphcena pronuba, Hydrocampa 7tytnphceaiis,. 

 and Scopula lutealis, remarking that more would have no doubt been 

 obtained, but that the day was not a favourable one for lepidopterists. 



The report for the Botanical Section was given by Mr. P. Fox Lee, 

 of Dewsbury, one of the secretaries of the section, who stated that 

 very few of the Union's rambles had been more successful in point 

 of number of observations than this one, the total reaching 290 species 

 of flowering plants and the higher cryptogams of the list usually in- 

 cluded with the phanerogamia. Although there was nothing of great 

 rarity, several new locality records would have to be registered for 

 the Nidd drainage district of Mid-West Yorkshire as a result of this 

 meeting. On the previous evening he (Mr. Lee) and a small party of 

 local botanists had worked along the line of upheaval of the Harrogate 

 anticlinal, about Birk Crag and the Oak Beck, where they noted 

 Corydalis daviculata DC. and Rubus sprcngelii Weihe in a profusion, 

 of pink bloom, with other sub-species of the Fruticose section of the 



Aug. 1889.
