236 YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION AT LECKBY CARR. 
was the ending of a pleasant round, and soon afterwards the whole 
party reached Helperby. 
In addition to these set parties several members indulged in 
individual research, and investigated Baldersby Park and other 
places within the restricted district. 
At the close of the day it was found that the whole of the 
district appointed for investigation had received attention from one 
or more members. 
5.30 most of the naturalists had returned to Brafferton, and 
fifteen minutes later sat down to tea at the Golden Lion Inn, 
Helperby. It may be noted here that Helperby and Brafferton are 
practically one and the same village, the road only dividing the two 
places. 
The spacious rooms of the Helperby Mechanics’ Institute-the 
use of which was, by the kindness of the Rev. C. B. Hunter, 
obtained for a nominal sum—were next visited, aod at 6.30 the
