CORDEAUX: ADDRESS TO YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS, 201 
climate. This is suggested by leaves of the Arctic birch (Betula 
nana) in the laminated peaty beds of Holmpton cliff, and the Arctic 
willow at Bridlington from the same horizon. In gravels of Kelsey 
Hill, remains of the walrus and reindeer have been found; and great 
numbers of a shell (Corbicula fluminalts), now extinct in Europe, but 
living in the Nile, the Lake of Gennesareth, and rivers of Asia Minor. 
Much yet remains to be worked out by the Geologist and Anthrop- 
ologist in connection with Holderness. 
Messrs. Clarke and Roebuck in their ‘ Vertebrate Fauna of 
Yorkshire,’ published in 1881, includes a total avi-fauna for the 
County of 307 species. These include 120 resident and summer 
visitors, 47 winter visitors, and 140 periodical, casual, or accidental 
visitors—a total of 307. Since this, no less than 22 species have 
been added to the list, chiefly through the much greater attention 
given in recent years to the immigration of birds, particularly the 
smaller species, in the spring and autumn. A revised list of York- 
shire birds should now include : 
Turdus torquatus var. alpestris. — An occasional 
immigrant at Spurn in the late autum
