CONCHOLOGY.— The Conchological section will be officially represented 



by its Secretary, Mr. F. W. Fierke. . 



The district has not been as yet worked, but should be rich m species ahecting 



woodlands, and the limestone scars are well worth examining.

 by its Secretaries, Messrs. A. E. Hall, F.E.S., and Wm- Hew-ett.

Lepidoptera.— The late John Sang, in the Darlington Saturday Half-Holiday 

 Guide, 1882, wrote that Whitcliffe Wood, and the bare slopes below Willau s Leap, 

 are very productive, several great rarities occurring there, includmg J;u'sj'c/ua 

 fumrella and Gracillaria impcrialdla, only elsewhere taken m llie fens near 

 Cambridge. EupithcHa constrictaia is not unfretiuent The Black and High Moor 

 Plantations, on the higher ground, are also very full of insect life, ami many great 

 rarities have occurred there. Arovmiis pnphia also occurs. The \\ hiLchhe and 

 Applegarth Woods, sheltered as they aie from adverse winds and with a southern 

 exposure, are the localities most productive and best worked by entomologists.
