THE YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION AT AYSGARTH. 223 
manner the good the Y.N.U. was doing in systematic researches in 
all the branches of natural history, and the fact that much good and 
useful material was lying unpublished, owing to the lack of funds, 
and urged upon each member individually to increase the number of 
members so that this work could be accomplished. 
The minutes having been taken as read, the next duty was the 
election of the following new members :—Mr. Reginald H. Barker, 
Scarborough ; Mr. Eugene Bean, York; Mr. Joseph Coe, Hull; 
Mr. Robert Dutton, York ; Mr. Chas. E. Elmhirst, York ; Mr. C. N. 
Goode, Harrogate; Mr. Avacid Greenwood, Halifax ; Mr. Leonard 
Hawkesworth, Leeds; Mr. Donald S. Mackay, York; Mr. F. W. 
Mills, F.R.M.S., Hriddepefield ; Mr. Stephen Berkinect Leeds ; 
Mr. Edward Peake, M.A., Giesleasick: Mr. John Sayner, Harrogate; 
Mr. Tom Stevenson, North Stainley; Mr. Joseph R. Waldby, 
Harrogate; Mr. J. W. Warwick, Harrogate; Mr. Arthur Wilkinson, 
York; Mr. H. J. Wilkinson, York. 
The list of societies was then called over, the following 
sixteen being represented :—Wakefield and Bradford Naturalists’ 
Societies, Leeds Naturalists’ Club, Leeds Geological Association, 
Dewsbury Naturalists’ Society, Malton Naturalists’ Society, Ripon 
Naturalists’ Club, Cleveland Naturalists’ Club, Harrogate and 
District Naturalists’ and Scientific Society, Thirsk Natural History 
Society, Craven Naturalists’ Association, Ellesmere School Natural 
History Society, Hull Scientific Club, Scarborough Field Naturalists’ 
Society, Darlington Naturalists’ Field Club, and Leeds Co-operative 
Field tae numbering altogether about seventy members. 
y vote of thanks was then passed to Lord Bolton, of 
Bolton Hall, and Mr. Thomas Bradley, of Bear Park, for granting 
permission to the members to visit their estates, and also to the 
leaders of the various parties, after which the sectional reports were 
then called for. 
For the Vertebrate Section, its secretary, Mr. Riley Fortune, 
FZS., reported that among the members present were Messrs. J. 
, M.B.O.U. (President), W. D. Roebuck, F.L.S., J. Green- 
wood, Farrah, and R. Fortune, F.Z.S. (Hon. Secretary): 
No systematic route was followed by this section, the members 
dispersing over a wide area—a method which is certainly deserving 
Of encouragement, as the district visited is by this means more 
thoroughly worked. During the day Mr. Chapman, of Carperby, 
accompanied some of the members and gave them the benefit of his 
Unique experience. The pleasure of inspecting his local Se 
of stuffed birds was one of the features of the day. Amon 
: birds were noticed a Raven, Common Buzzard, Golden-eye, etc.
