ing, but Parnassia palusiris, Cochlearia officinalis, &c., may be found 

 there. The woody dells contain Sanicula europceea, Teucritifu scoro- 

 donia, Spircea uhnaria, Angelica sylvestris, Fragaria vesca, Lactuca 

 muralis. In Ramsdale Wood and Mill Beck a nice variety of mosses 

 may be looked for. 



The Rev. W. C. Hey notes that near the Peak grow Vicia sylvaiica, 

 Solidago virgaurea, Erythrcea centaicriuni ; on the moors, Corydalis 

 clavicidata, Habenaria bifolia, Gentia?ia campestris, Pedicularis sylvaiica, 

 Mq.lva moschata, Narthecium ossifragiim ; and in the wooded valley, 

 Epipactis palustris, Myrrhis odorata, Asperula odorata. 



Entomology. 



Mr. J. T. Sewell, of Whitby, has taken Tephrosia biundularia, 

 Spilodes palealis, and Aplect a occulta at sugar, and the Rev. W. C. 

 Hey states that of beetles, Olisthopus rotundatus is the best he has 

 taken. Cicindela campestris swarms on the moors, and this year 

 Vanessa cardui was in profusion. 



Conchology. 



Mr. W. Denison Roebuck writes : — The little valleys which inter- 

 sect Robin Hood's Bay are likely to be most productive : the Rams- 

 dale and Mill Beck Valley this year produced Limax cinereo-niger, as 

 well as the commoner slugs, and Clausilia lafjiinata, Helix arbustorum, 

 H. hortensis and several other shells occur there as well. The mud- 

 cliffs produce Succinea elegans, Limncea tritncatida, and Pisidium 

 pusillum in the usual moist places. 



Water Shells are few in number. 



Of Marine Shell, the Rev. W. C. Hey notes that the red variety 

 of Littorina littorea abounds on the shore. 



Vertebrate Zoology. 



Mr. W. Cecil Scott writes : — This district does not appear to have 

 received much attention from Ornithologists, but during the time I was 

 there arranging for this excursion I noticed in addition to the more 

 common birds, the Herring Gull and the Lesser Black-backed Gull 

 (the former breeding very freely on the cliffs at Castle Chamber, in 

 company with the Jackdaws and House Martins). The Wheatear 

 Common Bunting, Cuckoo, and Dipper I saw near Ramsdale Beck. 

 My time in the district being very short I had not an opportunity of 

 making further observations. Mr. Edgar R. Waite informs me that 

 he has seen Cormorants in the Bay.
