Mr. Joseph Wilcock, of Wakefield, states that about fifty species 

 of land and freshwater shells are known to him as occurring on the 

 different routes selected for the day's ramble, some of which are of 

 peculiar interest as not hitherto known to British Conchologists, and 

 as having been determined by the eminent French conchologist, M. 

 J. R. Bourguignat. Unio tumidiis and varieties //r^'rt! Beck, rohrmannii

Vertebrate Zoology. 



Although a tract of country like the present, which was within the 

 range of the observation of such accomplished ornithologists as the 

 late Wm. Talbot and the late Thomas Lister, can hardly be said to 

 have been uninvestigated, the compilers of this circularhavebeen unable 

 to obtain information on this head. It may, however, be noted that 

 the district being well-wooded should be rich in birds of sylvan habit, 

 and that ornithologists may well expect to note numerous species 

 during the day's walk. 



Micro-Zoology and Micro-Botany. 



Although some little attention has been paid to this branch of 

 research, it is to be hoped that microscopists will avail themseh'es of 

 the opportunity for further investigation.
