CONCHOLOGY.— Mr. L. B. Ross, F.C.S., of Driffield, says that con- 

 chologists would do well to walk from Frodingham Bridge along the drain to 

 Foston (half-mile), and reiurn on the other side, and then on to Hrigham, etc., as 

 arranged under Koute L ; they will do better there than on any other part of ihe 

 route. Planorhis corneiLS, Limiuva slagnalis, Anodonta cygnea, Limii<'ea auricii- 

 laria, and others, occur. In the canal will be found Ancyhis Jluviatilis, Spli(erinm
