Yorkshire, nor in Percival's ' Flora of Wensleydale,' which appeared in the 

 NaturaHst for 1888. 



Flo-wering Plants. — Mr. W. Scott, the gardener at Jervaulx Abbey, mentions- 

 that Echmm plantagineiim , which grows in the Abbey ruins, several ferns, and 

 Typha latifolia, mentioned by W. G. M. Jones Barker as growing near Jervaulx> 

 are the only noteworthy forms met with in the immediate neighbourhood. 



Mosses and Hepatics. — No records. 

 Fungi. — No records. 

 Lichens. — No records. 

 Algae. — No records. 



VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— In this department also there appear to 

 be no records. 



Fishes. — Mr. W. Home, F.G.S., and his son have noted the presence of 

 Salmon, Trout, Eel, Grayling, Chub, Dace, Gudgeon, Pike, Minnow, Perch, 

 Stickleback, etc. 



CONCHOLOGY. — Very little collecting appears to have been done at and 

 in the near vicinity of Jervaulx Abbey, and what little there is, is included in 

 Mr. W. Denison Roebuck's paper on ' Conchological Field Notes from 

 Wensleydale' (Nat., Jan. 1883, viii., 81-87); we there learn that in 1877 

 Mr. John W. Taylor, F.L.S., found Helix lapicida, H. hortensis, one immature 

 H. aspersa, and H. rohmdata at Jervaulx Abbey, and that Baha was in great 

 abundance on wall-tops throughout Wensleydale that September. In a horse- 

 trough among the ruins of the Abbey, Mr. Roebuck found, in August, 1882, dead 

 examples of Bythinia tentaciilata, Livuicea peregra, Helix ntfescens, and H. hispida^ 

 and Clausilia riigosa among the ruins. At Ulshaw Bridge Mr. William Nelson 

 found Ancyhis Jluviatilis in 1877, and at East Witton he collected Liiiiax 

 arbonim, Helix rufescens, and Clatisilia rugosa. At Middleham have occurred, 

 either to Mr. Nelson or to Mr. Roebuck, Helix cape-rata, H. itala {ericetorum), 

 H. Tottmdata, and Pupa cylindracea. No systematic collecting has, however, 

 been done in the district, which presents, therefore, a fine field for research on the 

 part of conchologists. Mr. W. Home, F.G.S., has taken freshwater mussels. 



ENTOMOLOGY. — The insect-fauna of this portion of Wensleydale is, so- 

 far as known, a blank, and appears never to have been investigated. 



CRUSTACEA.— Mr. W. Home, F.G.S., notes the occurrence of Astaais 

 astaciis, the freshwater crayfish. 



AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS. — The Secretaries have arranged for 

 a suitable photograph being taken for reproduction.
