Erode: Yorkshire Naturalists at Coxwold and Kilburn. 283 



(Phylloscopus sibilatrix) was heard on all sides. Considering the 

 time of the year, perhaps the most interesting- bird noted was 

 the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola). The nest was not found, 

 but it was evidently breeding in the immediate vicinity, and it is 

 known to do so in this district from year to year. Although 

 most of the summer visitors were seen, including the Cuckoo 

 and Corncrake, the lateness of the season was emphasized by 

 the appearance of a small flock of Fieldfares. In some late 

 springs they may be seen near the coast, even towards the end 

 of May, but for them to be seen so far inland as late as 19th 

 May is very unusual. Forty-five different kinds of living birds 

 were noted in all, and some of the party came across the 

 shrivelled remains of Hooded Crows, Jays, Magpies, Carrion 

 Crows, Sparrow Hawks, Kestrels, etc., the usual victims of the 

 gamekeeper. Eight species of mammalia were seen, alive and 

 dead, viz.: — Fox, Stoat, Weasel, Rat, Water Vole, Rabbit, 

 Hare, and Squirrel. 



Owing to the lateness of the season, already noticed, the 

 entomologists did little or nothing with Lepidoptera. Mr. M. 

 Lawson Thompson, F.E.S., President of the Section, reports 

 that the following species of Coleoptera were met with in 

 working along the route. He adds that they are all common 

 beetles, the day proving unfavourable to really successful 

 investigations.

The Geological Section took a different route to Roulston 

 Scar, and headed by Mr. Percy F. Kendall, F.G.S.. wont 

 straight up the village, past Shandy Hall, then on to the Sriapes
