and Africa. Sixteen new members were elected, and four 

 societies became affiliated with the Union. A vote of thanks 

 to the divisional secretary, Mr. W. Robinson, was passed for 

 his pains in arranging for the excursion. 



We have since received the following reports on the 

 excursion : — 



The Ornithologists, led by Mr. A. White, F.Z.S., at once 

 made for the fell sides of Ingleborough, from which they 

 obtained a glorious view of the surrounding district. A pair 

 of corvinae was noticed, and a marshy piece of ground was 

 inhabited by curlew. Sandpipers were in plenty, as was also 

 the dipper, a nest with one &gg, belonging to the latter being 

 observed. Many dead birds were met with during the day, 

 including a red-shank with the breast only eaten away, which 

 was evidently the work of a hawk. Several eggs of the lapwing 

 were also noticed with two holes in them, close together, which 

 had been made by some bird. Owing to the scarcity of the 

 rook in this district, that bird can hardly be blamed this time. 

 Numbers of young lapwings were watched and photographed. 

 Wagtails were common ; the pied grey and yellow wagtails 

 being observed. The last appears to be increasing. Other 

 species noted were pipit, whin-chat, wren, blackbird, thrush, 

 and missel-thrush. 



The Conchological Section was represented by its president, 

 Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., of Leeds, and its secretary, 

 Mr. Thomas Castle, of Heckmondwike, and also by Mr. 

 John Wm Carter, F. E.S., of Bradford. The day was spent in 

 Helks Wood, and the following thirty-one species were collected, 

 six slugs and two freshwater species being included : —
