YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION AT HAYBURN WYKE. 289 
The Conchological Section was represented by two of its officers, 
Rey. W. C. Hey, M.A., of York, President, and Mr. Lewis B. Ross, 
F.CS., of Driffield, one of the Secretaries. Other members taking 
part in the work of the section were Mr. J. A. Hargreaves, of 
Scarborough, Mr. T. A. Lofthouse, of Middlesbrough, Mr. A. H. 
Pawson, of F arnley, Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L.S., of Leeds, etc. 
The President and Secretary not being able to remain to the 
meeting, the report was drawn up by Messrs. Lofthouse and Roebuck 
as follows. Messrs. Ross and Lofthouse began their work at 
Cloughton Station. They immediately found He/ix aspersa in the 
village, clinging to the old walls which in this part of the county do 
duty for the hedges of Holderness. Thence passing along in the 
direction of the moor, towards Hayburn Wyke, Helix nemoralis was 
met with, and further along, in displacing the stones in the walls 
skirting the high road, H. caferata and Hi. rotundata were found; 
and under stones and wood, and on the grass, were seen Zonites 
nitidulus, Helix wirgata, and H. sericea. The only water-shell was 
the ubiquitous Zimnea peregra, found in a small stream on the 
roadside, which completes the list so far as Mr. Ross’s party was 
concerned. Mr. Lofthouse continued his investigations after parting 
company with Mr. Ross, finding Vitrina pellucida and Succinea putris 
near Cloughton, Zonites cellarius, Z. alliarius, Z. nitidulus, Z. purus, 
Z. crystallinus, Z. fulvus, Pupa umbilicata, Vertigo edentula, and 
abundance of Carychium minimum, in the woods at Hayburn Wyke. 
The Rev. W. C. Hey noticed living specimens of Z a/“arius and 
dead ones of Alix caperata at the Wyke. r. W. Denison 
Roebuck, who accompanied the ornithological party which worked 
the undercliffs north of the Wyke, as far as the ponds at the 
Beast Cliff, noted several examples of Lemax arborum var. nemorosa, 
Clausilia rugosa, Bulimus obscurus, Helix hispida, Limax agrestis, 
Arion minimus, A. bourguignatt, A. ater, and Limnea truncatula, in 
addition to several species of Zomites. Mr. A. H. Pawson found 
Helix arbustorum near Hayburn Wyke, and Mr. J. A. Hargreaves 
collected Pupa ringens in the same vicinity, while examples o 
Ancylus lacustris were found by Mr. Hargreaves on leaves of water- 
lilies brought by one of the botanists from one of the ponds under the 
Beast Cliff. The total number of species amounted to 28, composed 
of 2 water shells, 5 slugs, and 21 land shells—about an average 
number for a day’s work, 
The Phanerogamic report of the Botanical Section was presented 
by Mr. J. A. Erskine Stuart, of Heckmondwike, one of the Secretaries 
of the section :—Under the direction of Mr. Edward R. Cross, the
