YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT HARWOOD DALE, 



2ist-23rd MAY. 



During a spell of glorious weather, which terminated immediately 

 on the conclusion of the official programme, the members of the 

 Yorkshire Naturalists' Union held a three days' excursion in 

 the vicinity of Harwood Dale, about seven miles north-west of 

 Scarborough. Over forty members were present, the greater 

 number staying the week end. The excursions were so arranged 

 as to cover as much of the area as possible, and examine it 

 under its various aspects. The particular routes are referred to 

 below, as well as the localities in which some of the more 

 interesting finds were made. Notwithstanding the existence

of a successful society in the neighbourhood, which has been at 

 work for some years, it was found that many points of interest 

 occurred which had not previously been noted. In this way the 

 value of the Union was demonstrated ; the numerous specialists 

 present pointing out many lines of research to the members of 

 the Scarborough Society, which will no doubt be followed up * 

 whilst on the other hand the local Field Club rendered signal 

 service to the Union by the excellent way in which its members 

 acted as guides.
