 Noctzia brunnea (on primrose), Orthosia viacilenta and Cirrccdia xeranipelina which 

 also occurs on the high roads, may be found at dusk ascending the trees to feed. 

 Imagos, Noiieophila plaiitaginis (more likely to be larva this season, being so back- 

 ward), Selenia bilunaria {illiiiiaria'), Tephrosia crepjiscularia, nearly black, Hybernia 

 marginalia ^progeminarid), var. Juscata ; and on the high roads, Zerene sylvata 

 {iilmata), quite plentiful at the end of May in 1895, and double-brooded ; Etipithecia

CONCHOLOGY. — This section will be officially represented by its President, 

 Mr. J. W. Taylor, F.L.S., and its Secretary, Mr. J. E. Crowther. 



Mr. F. W. Fierke writes that the district chosen for this excursion has been the 

 scene of many conchological rambles, and whilst no great rarities have been recorded 

 some interesting finds have from time to time been made. The vales are particularly 

 deserving of attention. The following is a list of the terrestrial mollusca so far 

 recorded for Brough and the immediate vicinity: — Vitrina, Hyalijiiapiira, H.fulva, 

 H. crysfallina, Helix rotundata, //. pygnicea, H. pulchella and var. costata, H. 

 aculeata, H. aspersa, H. nemoralis, H. hortettsis, H. arbustoriun, H. cantiana, H. 

 rufescens, H. hispida, H. caperata, H. virgata, Bulimus obscurus. Pupa cylindracea, 

 P. muscoruni, Claiisi Ha perversa, CI. laininata, Cochlicopa lubrica, Carychium, etc. 

 The aquatic mollusca are not so prolific, there being but few ponds and ditches in the 

 immediate neighbourhood. An interesting small form of Liiiincea truncaiula has 

 been observed in moist situations in one or two of the pits on the road from Brough 

 to South Cave. Ancylm fluviatilis also occurs in a stream on approaching South 

 Cave from Mount Airy. At Riplingham in a small cattle pond the writer some 

 years ago found a somewhat remarkable labiate form of Limtiaa peregra which was 

 the subject of a note in Mr. Wallis Trew's 'Dispersal of Shells,' but probably the 

 locahty will be considered a little too far afield to include in the day's route.
