Pressure upon the space of the ' Naturalist ' has been the 



sole reason why our notice of this admirable local publication 



has been delayed, but none the less have we to cong'ratulate our 



Hull friends upon the success with which they carry on their 



work, and particularly upon the fact that they know — and 



adhere to — the proper function of a local natural history and 



/ 



Ashby Decoy: inside the N.E. Pipe. 



scientific society. There is not a paper in this publication of 

 156 pag-es and nine plates which does not refer strictly to the 

 district worked by the members. 



The first paper, illustrated by plates, one being of the quaint 

 model of an ancient boat and its warrior crew, is by Mr. 

 Secretary Sheppard, on ' Prehistoric Man-in Holderness.' This 

 is followed by a list of additions to the East Riding- Moss Flora, 

 by Mr. J. J. Marshall. Next comes an excellent account by 

 Mr. T. Audas, L.D.S., of the 'Old Wild Duck Decoys of 

 Lincolnshire and the East Riding- of Yorkshire,' illustrated by 

 a couple of views of the one at Ashby, Lincolnshire, and two 

 views and a plan of the one at Meaux, Yorkshire. We repro- 

 duce by leave the former two.
