Yorkshire N^atiiralists at Leeds. 



In comparing this section with the one at Kirmingfton it 

 should be noted, (i) that no shells have been found in the 

 laminated warp at Limber ; (2) that the warp does not rest on 

 glacial clays ; and (3) that the base of the Limber warp is 

 92 feet above O.D., or 28 feet higher than that of Kirmington. 



It would be premature to discuss the problems raised by these 

 interesting sections until the work of the Committee has been 

 carried further. 



Through the kindness of Mr. Reid the plant remains have 

 been mounted and presented to the Municipal Museum, Hull. 



During the present year the Committee intend to devote its 

 energies to the section at Bielbecks and other sections in the 

 Riding. 



YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT LEEDS. 



The forty-third annual meeting of the Yorkshire Naturalists' 

 Union was held at Leeds on Saturday, 17th December, in the 

 rooms of the Philosophical and Literary Society, Park Row. 

 The meeting was preceded by two excursions : the first started 

 at 10 a.m., and consisted of the geologists, under the leadership 

 of Mr. E. Hawkesworth. This party examined the sections in 

 the gravels at Rothwell Haigh and Oulton, described on the 

 programme by Mr. Hawkesworth. Another section, under 

 the leadership of Messrs. S. Margerison and A. White, visited 

 Roundhay Park, where special permission had been given to 

 visit the greenhouses. 



At 3.30 p.m., the sectional meetings having been held, about 

 seventy members and delegates attended the General Committee 

 meeting-. The Report of the Executive Committee showed that 

 the Union had had a most successful year. Two societies had 

 become affiliated with the Union, and thirty-two new members 

 had been elected. The excursions had been of a very profitable 

 nature, and were well attended. The executive had also con- 

 sidered the question of the Union's publications, and had 

 decided to issue Baker's 'North Yorkshire ' and 'The Birds of 

 Yorkshire' forthwith. Important recommendations from the 

 Wild Birds' and Eggs' Protection Committee were also agreed 

 upon. 



The following excursions were arranged for 1905 : — Ripon 

 (in May) ; the Wolds (August Bank Holiday week-end) ; the 

 Whitby district (early in July) ; Leyburn (Whit week-end) ;
