Halichondria panicea Johnst.

Isodictya permollis Bowerb., 

 Scarborough (Bowerbank collec-

INSECTA. 



Entomologists have not hitherto thought it necessary to affix 

 localities to their specimens in most cases, and so I have none to 

 record. It seems, however, very desirable that each insect should 

 have a locality label, as is always done in other classes of animals.

NOTES AND NEWS. 



Amongst the recent elections to the fellowship of the Geological Society of 

 London we note the name of Mr. J. E. Bedford, the newly-elected President of 

 the Leeds Geological Association, 



XXX 



The annual meeting of the Leeds Geological Association was recently held 

 under the presidency of !Mr. C. D. Hardcastle. A report' of the year's work was 

 submitted wherein it was staled that the Association is still increasing in strength, 

 extending its influence, and consolidating its position. As some evidence of this, 

 the roll of membership which stood four years ago at 39 is now 105. The autumn 

 and winter were profitably employed in evening meetings for the reading of 

 papers and the exhibition of specimens. The field excursions, which are, without 

 doubt, the backbone of any geological association, have received unremitting 

 attention. The varied geology of our splendid county has thus been cxlensively 

 studied, with corresponding Ijenefit to those who attended. The attendance at 

 meetings and excursions has been most encouraging. The third part of the 

 'Transactions' has met with unqualified approbation. Whilst relating with 

 pleasure the progress of this Association, it is gratifying to know that the pub- 

 lished accounts of its work have resulted in a strong geological society being 

 formed at Hull, while at I luddersfield a similar step is in contemplation. Leeds has 

 hitherto possessed the only local geological society in ^'orksl■lire, and, it rests with 

 the members to retain the laurels they have won. The (hitics of the secretary 

 having been too onerous for one individual, it was decided lliai tlic trcasurership 

 should no longer be a nominal office, but that its holder should now receive all 

 subscriptions and conduct all the financial busint-ss of tlie Association. An 

 assistant secretary was also appointed. The election of the Executive for the 

 coming year resulted a^ follows: — rresidi'nt, Mr. 1. E. Bedforil, E.G.S. ; vice- 

 presidents, Messrs. T. \V. P>ell, William Chcelhani, C. D. Hardcastle. anil 15.
