 Slater, F.L. S. , announces that his MS. list of 'Mosses and 

 Hepatics of North Yorkshire' Is about completed, and is in the 

 hands of Mr. J. G. Baker for final revision. It is intended that 

 a full and complete list of these records shall be shortly pub- 

 lished in 'The Naturalist,' and it is expected that an early part 

 of the Transactions will include the further continuation of 

 the second edition of Jno. G. Baker's North Yorkshire, including- 

 the full list of all the recorded Mosses and Hepatics up to the 

 present date.

The Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee. — Mr. M. L. 



Thompson, the Secretary, reports that members of the Com- 

 mittee have attended the excursions of the Union to Dentdale, 

 Tadcaster, Carlton-in-Cleveland, and Barnsley, and preserved 

 lists of the beetles observed on those occasions. The list ot 

 Clavicornia is still in course of preparation, and new material 

 has been added during the course of the year. The Yorkshire 

 species belonging to the remaining groups of the Coleoptera are 

 being preliminarily arranged, and the Committee would be glad 

 if those who have done any work at this order of insects during 

 the season will forward the results of their investigations to the 

 Secretary at an early date. In this way it is hoped to deal 

 systematically with the observations of each successive year at 

 its close.
