Reptiles and Amphibians. — Mr. Head continues : If the day be fine and 

 sunny the Viper, Blindworm, and Common Lizard are pretty sure to be seen on the 

 Moors and the Viper also in Beast CHff. It has been reported that the Grass 

 Snake has been seen in Beast Cliff, but this requires authenticating. The Frog, 

 Toad, and Smooth Newt are the only amphibians on record at present. The 

 Crested Newt should be looked for in the ponds at Keast Cliff. 



ENTOMOLOGY, — Mr. James H. Rowntree writes :— 



Lepidoptera. — On Cloughton Moor the following species of Lepidoptera used 

 to occur in abundance : Argynnis aglaia, A. selene, Melanthia albicillata. In the 

 neighbourhood of Hayburn Wyke, particularly on the sea cliffs to the south, the 

 undermentioned may be met with either in the larval or perfect state : Thanaos 

 tages, Hciperia sylvamis, J\Iacroglossa stellatai'wn, several species of Hepiahis, 

 ZygtTua lonicera;, Z. filipenduhe, Euthemonia riissula, Chelonia plant agiiiis, Strenia 

 ilathrata, Eitbolia mensiiraria, E. bipiinctaria, N'otodoiia dictaa, N. ziczac, Calo- 

 campa exoleta, Heliothis marglnata (larva; on Ononis arvensis), Toxocampa pasti- 

 mtni, and Euclida glyphica. The late Mr. Thomas Wilkinson records the following 

 T'/;?^?;? as occurring on Cloughton Moor on cliffs: Cemiostonia lotella, liifurada 

 innniuidella, and Pterophorus lithodadyliis. 



Coleoptera. — Rev. W, C. Hey says the most interesting species is Cossomis 

 tarda, in dead holly-wood. Characteristic marine species, e.g., Cercyon littoralis, 

 Cafms xantkoloina, on the shore. The mossy bogs on the moor near have been 

 carefully searched and yielded many rarities. 



CONCHOLOGY.— Mr. J. A. Hargreaves remarks that search should be 

 made for Fttpa ringens, P. margiuata, Vertigo antivertigo, V. edenttila, V. pnsilla. 

 Helix ac7ileata, H. laniellaia and H.ericetoruni, Zonitcs purtis \2X. margaj-itaccn, Z. 

 fiilviis, and Z. radiafiilus, Bnliinus obscnrns, Claiisilia laniinata. Helix fnsca, H. 

 concinna and H. pidchella, all of which have been recently found in the neighbour- 

 ing districts. 



Mr. W. Nelson, Crossgates, Leeds, is now one of the Secretaries, in succession 

 to Mr. John Emmet, F. L.S., who has resigned in consequence of not very robust 

 health. 



MICRO-ZOOLOGY AND MICRO-BOTANY.— No attention what- 

 ever seems to have been given to these subjects. The two ponds on the undercliff 

 marked on the map, several ponds on Cloughton Moor, and Ringing Keld Pond 

 near Cloughton Station, will no doubt repay investigation. 



MARINE ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY.- The most convenient parts 

 of the coast for investigation are the Wykes of Hayburn and Cloughton, both of 

 which should yield good results. The tide is favourable, low water about 2 p.m. 



AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS will find this a picturesque district, 

 and those accompanying the geologists will do well to take some of the sections 

 exposed along the line of route. ' Dark Rooms ' for changing plates are provided 

 at the ' Blacksmiths' Arms,' Cloughton (Mrs. Robinson) ; and at Hayburn Wyke 

 Hotel. Charge to members showing cards, 6d. 



LISTS OF THE FAUNA AND FLORA of the district, which com- 

 prises the drainage area of Staintondale and Hayburn Becks and the coast line from 

 Peak to Hundale Point, as shown on the ]\Iap, are in preparation by members of 

 the Scarborough Naturalists' Society, and therefore it is advisable that all reliable 

 information, fragmentary or otherwise, be supplied at the Sectional Meetings.
