Birds. — Mr. H. Waterworth writes :— On the moors the 

 Red Grouse, Common Plover, Curlew, Ring- Ouzel, Twite, and 

 Meadow Pipit were seen, and the Snipe heard. In the cloug-hs 

 and woods I saw or heard the Blackbird, Song- Thrush, Dipper, 

 Sandpiper, Willow Wren (abundant), Chaffinch, Common Wren, 

 Wheatear, Greenfinch, Red Linnet, Spotted Flycatcher, Pied 

 Wag-tail, Yellow Bunting-, House Martin, Swallow, Swift, 

 Tree Pipit, Blackcap Warbler, Robin, Cuckoo, Mag-pie, Hedge 

 Sparrow, Blue Tit, Skylark, and Starling-. The King-fisher 

 I learn was also seen. I found a nest of the Song- Thrush, 

 with three young-; a Blackbird's nest, with a second batch of 

 three eg-g-s ; a Common Wren's, full of young- ; and a Willow- 

 Wren's, with five eg-gs. I also came upon a Song-. Thrush, 

 which had reared two broods in the same nest. 



Insects. — Mr. G. T. Porritt reports that the entomolog-ists 

 present, besides himself, were Messrs. H. Ostheide, J. W. 

 Carter, H. Marsh, J. Beanland, Edward Halliday, and others. 

 Lepidoptera seemed scarce, and only common species were 

 noted. Neuroptera and Trichoptera were fairly numerous along- 

 the river, and among- others TcBuiopteryx risi, Chloroperla 

 gramma tic a , Isopteryx tripuncta and /. torrentium, Nemoura 

 meyeri and N. cinerea (both abundant), Eccli'iopteryx guttiilata 

 (abundant), Silo pallipes (common), Polycentropus flavo77iaciilatuSy 

 Drtisus annulatiis^ and Rhyacophila dorsalis were noted. 



Mr. J. W. Carter writes : — The Coleoptera Committee was 

 represented by Mr. Ostheide and myself. The species enumerated 

 were mainly taken by Messrs. F. Jowett, W. Mann, and myself, 

 members of the Bradford Naturalist Society. Messrs. Jow^ett 

 and Mann worked the Crimsworth Valley, whilst I devoted the 

 whole of the day to the Hebden Valley. Beetles were consider- 

 ably commoner in Crimsworth Dean than in the Hebden Valley, 

 but neither produced any great rarities. The following is a list
