WEEK-END HEAD-QUARTERS. -At Terrington. 



HOTEL ACCOMMODATION.— Members wishing to spend the week- 

 end are advised to do so at Terrington. Mr. J. S. Upex, who may be addressed 

 at Terrington, York, will do his best to secure comfortable bedroom accommoda- 

 tion in and around Terrington for members communicating with him ; and he 

 will also arrange for luggage being conveyed from the station selected. 



BOOKS AND MAPS.— The whole of the district included in the day's- 

 proceedings is in Sheet 53 (formerly 96 S.E.) of One-inch Ordnance Map; while 

 members staying the week-end, who may wish to investigate other portions of the 

 Castle Howard estate, will also need Sheet 63 (93 N.E.). Both these sheets are to 

 be had geologically coloured (both for drift and solid geology). Baker's ' North 

 Yorkshire, pp. 207-209 of the 2nd edition (published in Y.N.U. Trans., part 13) 

 contains a list of plants of the district. 



PERMISSION has been granted by the Hon. H. W. Fitzwilliam, the Rev, 

 S. Wimbush, and other land-owners, to visit their estates. 



THE DISTRICT.— Mr. John Wright, of Terrington, writes that the dis- 

 trict selected for this meeting, with its extensive heaths, hedges, parks, woods, and 

 waters, has varied and pleasant attractions for artist, archaeologist, and lover of 

 nature. The sublime heights of Terrington, situated on the sunny slope of the 

 Howardian Range, afford extensive prospects along the great Vale of York on the 

 one hand, and over the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Moorlands on the other. 

 The parish church of All Hallows, or All Saints, bears evident marks of great 

 antiquity. A rare bell is in the tower, said by tradition to have come from Kirk- 

 ham Priory, and bears the early date, 14CO, with inscription to 'Robert the Prior.'
