146 YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT KNARESBOROUGH. 
Permission to pass over their estates had been kindly granted by 
Lord Harewood, Captain Slingsby and Mr. Basil T. Woodd. 
Two lines of route were followed. Mr. John Farrah, oe Harrogate, 
led a party along the north side of the river, passing Fort Montague 
and Abbey Plain, then crossing the river proceeded to Birkham 
Wood and worked along the river side to High Bridge, thence pro- 
ceeding through Scriven Park and returning by Farnham. A second 
party, under the leadership of Mr. Riley Fortune, F.Z.S., proceeded 
up the Nidd Valley, through Scriven Park, returning along the upper 
side of the river. 
At half-past five o’clock, tea having been finished, the sectional 
meetings were held, followed at a quarter to six by the general 
meeting, the Rev. Wm. Fowler, M.A., occupying the chair. 
There was a very large attendance of members and associates, 
representing 20 societies, as follows :—Harrogate, Liversedge, 
Malton, Bradford Nat. Soc., York, Leeds Nat. Club, Leeds 
Co-operative Nat. Club, Leeds Geological Association, Hull 
Geological Society, Hull Scientific Club, Wakefield, Elland, Goole, 
Bradford Scientific Association, Dewsbury, Ripon, Craven, Scar- 
borough Philosophical Society, and Ellesmere School Nat. Society. 
The sectional reports were then given as follows :— 
The Conchological Section was, comparatively speaking, in great 
force; and the sectional report was, in the absence of all the 
sectional officers, given by Mr. C. D. Wolstenholme of York, as 
follows :—The Castle Hill at Knaresborough was very productive of 
HI. nemoralis, H. hortensis, H. arbustorum (one specimen being 
unusually large), H. cantiana, H. rufescens, H. rupestris, H. hispida. 
A single specimen of Clausilia rugosa was also found there. Other 
shells taken during the day comprised HZ. /apicida, Hyalinia nitidula, 
7, alliaria, H. cellaria, H. draparnauldi, Cochlicopa lubrica, H. 
rotundata, and the ever-present 1. aspersa. Limnea peregra was the 
only freshwater shell recorded. 
The Entomological Section were not by any means as successful 
as usual, and Mr. W. F. Baker, F.E.S., reported that the only 
Coleopterous insect found worthy of note was Aphodius putridus. 
Mr. W. Hewett records the following Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera 
as having been noted: Lepidoptera observed by himself during the 
day in the neighbourhood of Scriven Park and in the Nidd Valley—
