WHIT-MONDAY, 26th May, 1890. 



Railway Arrangements. 



Through return tickets at pleasure party fares will be issued at all Yorkshire 

 stations on the G. N., H. & B., L. & Y., L. & N. W., M. S. & L., Mid., and N. E, 

 Railways, which have booking arrangements for Driffield and Lowthorpe, to 

 Members and Associates of the Y.X. U. producing their signed card of Membership. 



Members and Associates starting from stations which have not through booking 

 arrangements, should book to the most convenient junction, and re-book to their 

 destination ; the reduction of fare will be granted for both portions of the journey. 



Routes. 



The district selected for investigation is the neighbourhood of 

 Lowthorpe, Ruston Parva, and the Valley of the Kelk Beck from 

 Lowthorpe Station upwards to Kilham.

 granted by Mr. W. H.St. Quintin, M.B.O.U., and Mr. John Dickson. 



Messrs. Davison, Mortimer, and Ross will conduct the party from 

 Lowthorpe to Ruston Parva and Kilham, and thence to Driffield, 

 starting from Lowthorpe at 12-7 noon. 



Books and Maps. 



The whole of the district for the day's investigation is comprised 

 within Sheet 94 N.W., One-inch Ordnance map, which may be 

 obtained geologically coloured. There appear to be no published 

 records whatever for the Fauna and Flora of the district, which is 

 therefore a promising field for investigation. 



The District. 



Lowthorpe, the starting point of the excursion, is a station on 

 the North-I'>astern Railway, four-and-a-half miles from Driffield. The 

 very extensive woods on the right will doubtless amply repay careful 

 investigation, they not having been explored ; taking the high road 

 for a quarter of a mile, crossing some fields Lowthorpe Mill is
