 during the rambles of the Yorkshire Union of Naturalists at the 

 above places, on the 10th June, 1878, and 4th Sept., 1880. 



So far as my experience of these districts proves by two days' 

 investigation, I am assured many good additions to our Yorkshire 

 list might be added by a more careful and lengthened search. There 

 is probably no portion of our county better adapted to the habits and 

 requirements of that numerous and interesting group of British 

 beetles, the Hydradephaga, than this part of the East Riding. The 

 many ponds and dykes which line the roads in all directions give

 family Hydroporus, which I think is not so well known as it might 

 be. The extensive and varied flora of that neighbourhood, together 

 with its situation near the coast, is also greatly in favour of its 

 productiveness. 



I am always glad to get over " new ground," and, in consequence, 

 have often to be satisfied with small mercies ; but the two rambles 

 here mentioned left nothing to be desired, save a wish to remain a
