CiRC, 105- 



CaryiliiuNi — in all twcnty-ninc species, to wliicli, olnlously, several more sliouUI be 

 added as a result of more careful sen.rc]i than has Iiillicrto been bestowed (ui the 

 district. In addition to these, a pond (or rather old channel of the river) at Gis- 

 l)urn, produced on the occasion of the Union's visit to Gisburn in April 1881, the- 

 following freshwater species, several of them in abundance : Splno iiini corneum^ 

 BifJiinia lenianilala^ V^alvala piscinalis^ Liniiuca ferr^'ra^ L. palusli'is^ /,, ti-unca- 

 ittht^ Plauorbis cojiloiius^ PL vor/e.\\ Physa foiilinalis^ and Auiyhts flin^iatilis — 

 ten species, a rather remarhal^^le number for so upland a district. The o\<X channels- 

 of the river, both at Gisburn and at Sawley. should be carefully searched, as well as- 

 the woods on both banks of tlie Kibble.

ENTOMOLOGY. — J*robal)ly no district which the Union has visited lately 

 holds out such a fair prospect as this one does for the entomologist. The ricli 

 pasture lands— I)oth in the neighbourhood of Sawley and along the river banks — are 

 the feeding ground of quantities of cattle and the coleopteiist who desires to work 

 up the Scarabreida^ "dl! have a splendid chance ; and there arc several good pond::;, 

 l>oth at Sawley and Gisburn, which will certainly repay a careful search. The- 

 river banks are welbwooded, and there arc plenty of old stumps and dead trees about 

 which should yield abundance of ' wooddjorers,' and the shady glades in the woods 

 along the bank side hold out great promise for the lepidopterist. Diaiioiis- 

 axruksceus and several other species of Staphylinidi"e are conunou in the moss on the 

 stones, in the rapid little brooks whicli run down the gorge side to join the river, 

 and it is quite possible that Hoiicoccrus may be found there. In a wood (about 

 two miles from Sawley and three from (lisliurn) on the l)ank of the Kibble are the 

 ruins of an old cottage and the loose stones and l.)eams lying around should prove a 

 ' hapjiy hunting ground ' for the coleopterist searching for ( ieodephaga and 

 Staphylini(ke. Three siiccies of Grasshoppers have been found on the hilbsides- 

 near to Gisl)urn, and there are some very good ponds there which should ni)t be 

 missed, if time will allow an examination.
