Barnsley Naturalists' Society. — Meeting July 6th, Mr. A. R. Kell, 

 president, in the chair : he gave brief notes of birds seen about Scaftworth 

 Bawtiy, on the estate of T. E. Taylor, J. P., Barnsley ; of water birds, 

 herons, teals^ wild ducks and redshanks, all of which breed there ; of 

 land birds — great spotted woodpeckers, corn and black. headed buntings, 

 spotted flycatchers, &c , were in abundance. Mr. T. Lister, in a walk 

 from Ackworth on June 30, had noted all four of the swallow tribe, 

 including the swift, which has been seen two or three times on Cocker- 

 ham-road, Barnsley, where of late years it has been scarce. The few in 

 song were — sedge-warblers, buntings, whitetliroats, and corn crakes, so 

 numerous as to prevent sleep. Mr. J. W. Salter, Ackworth School, had 

 counted 120 calls in a minute. Some mineral specimens from the Isle of 

 Man, consisting of masses of quartz and silurean pebbles, were brought 

 for the Museum. A fierce animal was taken, in June, on the moors of 

 W. S. Stanhope, Esq., near Dunford Bridge. It is since recorded as the 

 martin cat (the beech or stone martin). One was taken in his grounds at 

 Cannon Hall, some years back. — T. L.
