THE YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION AT 
PENISTONE AND DUNFORD BRIDGE. 
July excursion of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union took 
place on Saturday, the gth, to Penistone and Dunford Bridge, 
inaccessibility of the district, it was not up to the usual standard 
of success, either in point of numbers or of the amount of work 
achieved, 
. The number of members attending the excursion was not more 
than 30 to 35, and of these the great majority were from towns in 
the immediate neighbourhood, Huddersfield being specially well 
represented. The casual inquirer would learn that Penistone is not 
unknown to fame, and is to be remembered for at least two things— 
firstly, especially noted for its numerous and disastrous railway 
accidents ; and secondly, for its Hounds, known since the year 1260 
as the Penistone Harriers.

On looking at the map it will be seen that the district is close upon 
the Cheshire border, and as the Union confines its investigations 
exclusively to Yorkshire, further exploration beyond the limits of the 
excursion could not be indulged in. As usual the land-owners had 
— granted full permission for the investigation of their estates, and 0m 
the present occasion facilities were afforded by Col. W. S. Stanhope; 
Mr. Charles re sir and the Dewsbury and Heckmondwike 
Waterworks Board.
