296 YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION AT WITHERNSEA. 
submaritima? almost as common as the type and stray specimens 
Helix caperata to give a little more variety to the scene. Down 
in the valley the marshes proved to be a favourite locality for the 
Succinee, both S. putris and S. elegans occurring. The party then 
proceeded in a westerly direction by the side of Keyingham Drain 
up to Thirtle Bridge, dredging the drain and the numerous dykes 
which intersect it. On reaching the bridge a pond on the Roos 
Road was finally investigated, the most noteworthy species being 
P.anorbis carinatus in abundance, and the Waxholme Road was 
selected for the return journey to Withernsea, thereby terminating a 
most pleasurable if not exactly a record-making conchological 
ramble. The following is a complete list of the mollusca recorded 
during the day :—

le the Entomological Section, in the absence of all its 
officers, Mr. Walter F. Baker, of Hull, reported as regards the 
ester that, although a anos wind blew from the sea, yet the 
day was as suitable for beetle-collecting as could be desired, being 
neither too hot nor too cold, and therefore the captures were fairly 
numerous, Sa po that it is the time of year when many of them 
are in the larval stat 
Operations pieced before the members were fairly out of 
Withernsea, Carabus violaceus, the large violet prom: beetle, and 
Ocypus olens, commonly called the ‘ Devil’s Coach Horse,’ both foun 
under some loose stones by a farmhouse, being amongst the first 
captures, whilst the various species of Prerostichus, together with 
Harpalus ruficornis, and Notiophilus biguttatus were in abundance. — 
Xantholinus fulgidus and X. glabratus were found in a similar situa-
