various publications bearing the name of 'Naturalist' which 

 have appeared under the editorship of Messrs. Wood, Morris, 

 Hobkirk, Porritt, and others, and in the earlier volumes of the 

 Annals and Magazine of Natural History, and of the Proceedings 

 of the Zoological Society. 



The most important and probably the only separate work 

 devoted to any part of the Yorkshire vertebrate fauna is Mr. 

 Cordeaux's Birds of the Humber District (1872), a valuable con- 

 tribution — not only to the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire fauna — 

 but to British ornithology generally, and abounding in original 

 observations on the important subject of migration. For the 

 whole district — the Yorkshire half of which is equivalent to 

 Holderness and the Wolds — 280 species are enumerated. 



Of Manuscript information, the authors have had (through 

 the kindness of his son-in-law, Mr. W. Pumphrey) the advantage 

 of consulting the original MS. of Mr. Thomas Allis's Report on the 

 Birds of Yorkshire (1844). This list, which includes 258 species, 

 has been of much assistance from the evidence it contains as to the 

 faunistic position of various species at that and earlier dates, 

 besides the numerous records of occurrences. 



Manuscript lists have been furnished by numerous 



naturalists of the county. Of these the following have contributed 



lists of the mammalia, reptiles, and freshwater fishes of their 



respective districts (those marked ^ having also contributed lists 



of birds): —
