VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— 



' Mr. John Cordeaux, MJ5.0. U., writes that the UicaUty chosen for the Excursion 

 is the l)est ornithological district, in the county of Lincoln. 1 he GuU Ponds oi 

 Twiemoor are not surpassed in any other place in England. There was a Jleronry 

 in Broughton Wood, which in i88i contained twenty nests. It is now m Appleby 

 Wood to which the birds removed after the felling of some large tmiber. The Com- 

 mons and the Woods arc the nesting-places of the Wheatear, Stonechat, Pedstart, 

 Lesser Whilelhroat, Garden-Warbler, Blackcap, Nightingale, Wood-Warbler, the 

 Tit^ Nuthatch, Tree-Creeper, Redpoll, Wood Lark, Goatsucker, W^oodpeckers, the 

 Lon'T-eared, Tawny, and Sliort-eared Owls, Sheld-drake, Shoveller. Wild Duck, 

 Teaf Stock-Doye,' Turtle-Dove, Stone-Curlew, W^oodcock, Snipe, Redshank, 

 Corn Crake. Spotted Crake, Water Rail, Coot, Little Grebe, and many other 

 siiecies. The nests of the (iolden Oriole, I'ied Llycatclicr, and iikick Redstart, 

 have been found in the neighbourhood, and within a few miles of Twigmoor 

 the Ruff, Wood-Sandpiper, and Dunlin have nested within recent years. 



It is earnestly requested that the breeding birds shall he as httle disturbed as 



ijossible, an<l the nests and eggs protected. ^ r r^ 



CONCHOLOGY.--Mr. John Beaulah says that the best ground for Con- 

 chologists to work is the Wood Lane or Burton Lane Plantation, which is about 

 a mile west of Brigg, and extends for about a mile on the road from Biigg to Ashby. 

 Here nearly all thc^Biitish Nsoodland species of Molhisca may be found._ hor water 

 shells it will 1)0 found necessary to search the ponds and ditches of the neighbourhood 

 of Brigg itself. 



ENTOMOLOGY.-— There appear to be no records of insects for the district 



except for 



Lepidoptera, of which a list is given by Mr. Charles S. Ilolgnte, J. P., including: 



RJiodoccra rhainni. LciiiOpJiashi siimfsis, Pyvayo;a cgcr'ia, P. ineg,rra, EpuuphPe 

 hypcrantJius. E. tiPionus, T/iuIa (jnernis, NeincoMits Innna (ALanby Wood), 

 AroynnPs cnphrosync, Hcsperia niahuc, Smeriuthns occUaliis, Cluvrocaiiipa poncPms, 

 Zyo-fcaa iripolii, Z. lonicer(V, Kiilhciiionia rnssnhu Cheloiiia pianlaoiiPs, GonopJiora 

 derasa, and many others. The district is a most fruitful one, and ought to yield the 

 Lntomologists a rich harvest in all orders,
