Mr. G. T. Porritt, F. L.S., reports : — The couple of hours or 

 so I had along the river and in the wood opposite to the village 

 of Buckden were of course not at all sufficient to show what 

 the district would produce in Neuroptera and Trichoptera. The 

 time of day too (noon), was just the period when these insects 

 are least in evidence. Still there was an abundance of specimens, 

 if few species. The most interesting taken was the local and 

 very pretty Leptocerus bilineatiis, for which Castle Howard was 

 our only previously recorded Yorkshire locality. Another local 

 species was Lasiocephala basalts, but it was already well known 

 as an abundant Wharfe insect at Grassington. Less note- 

 worthy species included Polycentropus flavomaculatus , Tinodes 

 WcBneri, Agapetiis comatiis in abundance, Isopteryx tripunctata , 

 Nemoura cinerea, etc. 



For Botany Mr. J. F. Pickard reports that the district was 

 found to be very rich in sub-Alpine plants, and a great deal of 

 interesting work was done. But some, principally limestone 

 species, such as Geranium saiiguiiieuyn, Hippocrepis comosa, 

 and Rtuunnus catJiarticus, so plentiful between Grassing- 

 ton and Kettlewell, were noticeably absent at Buckden and 

 Oughtershaw. Diligent search was made for Poly gala austriaca
