For the Conchological Section the report was given by one of its 
Secretaries, Mr. Lewis B. Ross, F.C.S., of Driffield, who stated that, 
having been on the spot a couple of hours prior to the arrival of 
the 11.20 a.m. train at Fimber Station, he had occupied the time by 
working the chalk-pit at Bessingdale End. He then conducted 
a small party, which included Mr. W. W. Reeves, F.R.M.S., of 
London, Mr. W. Hewett of York, etc., through York Dale and past 
Badger Wood to the Pump, thence across to Life Hill and along the 
high road to Wetwang. The chalk-pit — an abundance of 
felix ericetorum and H. virgata, and a few H. rotundata, whilst 
a small pond near furnished the only aquatic shell of the day—the 
ubiquitous Limn@a peregra. In Bessingdale Wood Clausilia laminata 
was fairly abundant at the foot of beech trees, whilst among the 
nettles Helix arbustorum, with its varieties marmorata and flavescens, 
was found. Passing along York Dale, Zimax agrestis and, on the 
beech trees, Z. ardorum were met with, and on the grass Avion ater 
and 4. oi te were plentiful. On the beeches Budimus obscurus ~ 
was fairly common, and amongst dead leaves were found Vitrina 
popstes fy Zua lubrica, Helix aculeata, H. pygmaea, Carychium minti- 
mum, Vertigo edentula, Zonites fulvus, Z. cellarius, Z. alliarius, Helix 
hispida, and 77. sericea, whilst in other parts of the ramble were met 
felix cantiana, H. aspersa, H. hortensis, H. nemoralis, Zonttes 
nitidulus, Z. apaadens, and Helix rufescens. Mr. F. W. Fierke 
and one or two other Hull oneal also worked the district, 
and the slugs they collecte ere afterwards determined by 
Mr. Roebuck. They were gies ater, A. hortensis, A. minimus, 
A. bourguignati, Limax maximus, L. arborum, and L. agrestis. 
Altogether the total number of species observed amounted to thirty- 
three, one of them being a water shell and seven slugs, the 
remaining twenty-five being land shells—not a bad record, con- 
sidering the small number of collectors on the ground and the 
arg amount of time at their disposa
