1 Transactions of the Tyneside Naturalists'' Field Club? Vol. II., 

 Part 3. Demy 8vo., 38 pp. London : Simpkin. 1853. 



The papers in this part are intituled — 



' Address to the Members of the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club.* 

 By the President, Dr. Thorp, Archdeacon of Durham, &c. 



' Journal of an Excursion into Northumberland, in June and July, 

 1851.' By James Hardy. 



'Observations on the Nidification of Gasterosteus aculeatus and 

 Gasterosteus spinachia.' By Albany Hancock. 



' Notes on the Fifth Field Meeting, held at Otterburn, on the 2nd 

 and 3rd of September, 1852.' By William Kell, Esq., F.A.S. 



The paper of most general interest, that on the nidification of Gas- 

 terosteus aculeatus, we have transferred to the ' Zoologist : ' the writer 

 should, we think, have referred to Mr. R. Q. Couch's admirable and 

 minutely accurate paper on the same subject in the ' Zoologist,' pub- 

 lished in 1844 (Zool. 795). The passage commencing "On several 

 occasions " and ending at " as long as I remained " is a verbatim 

 and literatim reprint from the ' Zoologist.'
