AT a Meeting of the VERTEBRATE SECTION of the YORKSHIRE 

 NATURALISTS' UNION, held at Ingleton on the I4th of April, it 

 was resolved to publish as the commencement of series B of the " Transactions " 

 of the Union a LIST OP THE BIRDS OF YORKSHIRE, to 

 include all recorded ocoirrences of the rarer species as far as is practicable. 

 Its compilation was placed in my hands. 1 now appeal to all our ornitholo- 

 gists to give me their best assistance in the work by sending at once from all 

 parts of the county LISTS, with remarks as to the distribution, abundance, 

 breeding, and rare occurrences of the ACCIPITRES (Eagles, Hawks, and 

 Owls) only, as the work will have to be done gradually. When the list of 

 this group is completed, it is contemplated to apply for information on the 

 next succeeding group. All assistance will be duly acknowledged.
