Entomology. 



Mr. T. A. Lofthouse considers that the district ought to be a

Conchology. 



Mr. Baker Hudson, M.C.S., Middlesbrough, writes that the Kil- 

 dale woods, occupying the southern skirts of Easby Aloor and resting 

 i)X\ the outcrop of Liassic strata, he has found to be very prolific in 

 inolluscan life. Among the common forms observed he mentions 

 J/elix arbustorum, H. nenu)ralis, PL hispida, LL. concinna, LL. seiicea, 

 //. rotundata, and H. aculeata. Jf.fusca is also fine and abundant, 

 whilst //. pygnur.a occurs sparingly near the Bleach Mill. Zonites 

 cellarius, Z. nitidulus, Z. alliarius, and Z. crystallinus are abundant 

 and Z. purus and its var. margaritacea, together with Z.fulvus, occur in 

 suitable situations. Z. nitidus he has once found near the low end of 

 the wood. Claiisilia laminata and C. rugosa are common and fine 

 and a large variety of the latter should be looked for which requires 

 identification. Bulimus obscurus also occurs and Balea may be 

 expected, as it has been taken by the Rev. J. Hawell near Ingleby. 

 J^upa unibilicata is common and P. marginata occurs sparingly near 

 the moor edge. P. ringens should be carefully looked for as in many 

 parts the wood is similar to Airey Holme in the condition of its soil 

 fa rich leaf mould). He has taken Vertigo edentula and. V. substriata, 

 of the latter only one specimen in moss and dead leaves. Z.ua and Azeca
