Hull Naturalists are to be congratulated on the appear- 
ance of this their first publication. More especially are they to 
be congratulated on their clear-sighted recognition of the fact 
that the function of a local society when publishing is to deal with 
- local matters, and local matters only. Every paper in this part 
is one of original research, a useful contribution to our local 
knowledge. The first is by Mr. Thomas Bunker on ‘The 
_ Natural History of Goole Moor and its immediate vicinity,’ 
particularly valuable, partly from Mr. Bunker’s long and intimate 
eg eerie with his own neighbourhood, and anid because 
moor is fast losing its pristine character. The next paper is 
ig Mr. H. M. Foster on ‘ The Fishes of the River Hull, which 
-are treated of very fully and with great wealth of anecdote. 
_Mr. Thomas Sheppard, the energetic Secretary of the Society, 
follows with ‘Notes on a large pair of Antlers of the Red Deer 
(Cervus elaphus) from the peat at Hornsea,’ with an excellent 
full-page illustration. Some brief notes on the Society’s pro- 
gramme and work for the past year follow, and there are short 
notes on ‘Pond Herrings’ (H. M Foster), on ‘Odontidium 
harrisonii’ (R. H. Philip), and on ‘Local Entomology, 1898’ 
(J. W. Boult), all of interest. A list of members of the Society 
is given. The Society and Editor are to be congratulated on 
stating the exact date of ae and we wish nee all 
Aesehined prosperity in the futur
