CONCHOLOGY.— 



Mr. Hugh Richardson, M.A., writes to recommend careful search of the lime- 

 stone ledges near Hebblethwaite and Dovecote Caves, and also of the hedgebanks 

 along the Cautley road. The streams are mostly rough and rapid, but Liinncea and 

 Ancylus may be looked for. 



ENTOMOLOGY. — The Entomological section will be officially represented 

 by its President, Mr. M. L. Thompson, and the Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee 

 by its Secretary, Mr. M. L. Thompson, and its Executive Member, Mr. H. Ostheide. 



Lepidoptera. — Mr. Hugh Richardson, M.A., writes that there is a cyclo- 

 styled list by G. Watkinson, of Sedbergh School, 1891, founded on an earlier list by 

 H. T. Hart, 1889. Butterflies are scarce in the district. Argynnis euphrasy ne\%- 

 found near Lily Tarn in July. Choitobius davus has been searched for on the damp 

 hillsides, but hitherto in vain. There are various moths (e.g. Abraxas uiinata) in 

 the Hebblethwaite glen. The most profitable hunting ground will probably be the 

 lower edge of the heather where Clouded Buff, Wood Tiger, Fox and Emperor 

 moths may be looked for. 



Coleoptera. — No records.
