372 NOTE TRICHOPTE R A. 



Cotes Vicarage. It is therefore highly probable that they had been 

 carted from Grimsby from one of the many ballast-heaps that 

 abound there. From the foregoing observations it will be seen that 

 the greatest caution will have to be exercised when taking note of 

 the occurrence of igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, and other 

 erratics in this neighbourhood. 



The Rev. W. H. Daubney proposed that Mr. Cordeaux be most 

 heartily thanked for the very kind and hospitable way in which he 

 had received his visitors- He had entertained them entomologically, 

 botanically, geologically, and lastly, as they had evidence before and 

 within them, in a very excellent culinary way. Mr. Peacock, in 

 seconding the motion, said that, as a compiler of the bibliography 

 of Lincolnshire Natural History observations, he had found that 

 Mr. Cordeaux had probably done more work, and work on wider 

 lines, than any other scientific worker in the county. His position 

 as an ornithologist was known to everybody, and there was no 

 department of Natural History that he had not touched. 



The motion having been put and carried enthusiastically, 

 Mr. Cordeaux replied for himself and Mrs. Cordeaux, whose name 

 had been joined as the provider of the entertainment. He thanked 

 the proposer and seconder for the kind expressions used towards 

 Mrs. Cordeaux and himself, and he assured those present that he 

 felt himself honoured by the presence of so large a company. 

 Looking back upon his fifty years' experience as a worker in 

 Natural History, he remembered the time when he began to take 

 notes, when he had only one correspondent in the county, and then 

 years afterwards when he had only two, the late Sir Charles Anderson, 

 of Lea, and the late Rev. R. P. Alington, of Swinhope. Let them 

 but compare that state of things with the number of Lincolnshire 

 workers to-day. The Union consisted of about no members, and 

 it was satisfactory to find that they nearly all of them had paid their 

 subscriptions. He hoped that sometime in the future they might 

 have another meeting at Cotes in the summer, and he further hoped 

 that at some time during the ensuing winter he might have an 

 opportunity of telling them something about the marvellous things 

 he had recently seen in Arctic Europe.

Stenophylax vibex at Huddersfield.— In May last, Mr. B. Morley gave 



me a fine specimen of Stenophylax vibex which he had taken during the spring at 

 Skelmanthorpe ; and on Saturday last he brought me, among other commoner 

 trichoptera, three more .S". vibex. As all his captures in the order were made
