Mammalia. — A very fine Otter was exhibited in a window 

 which had been killed in a small stream, called Waitel Beck, 

 a month or two ag-o. Several others had been seen in the 

 neighbourhood. Stoats, Weasels, and Hedgehogs were amongst 

 other victims in a gamekeeper's museum ; and we observed 

 alive : — Rabbit, Hare, Squirrel, Water Vole, Shrew, Wood 

 Mouse, Rat, Field Vole, and Mole. 



Reptile. — Common Lizard. 



Amphibia. — Frog and Toad. 



Fishes. — -No note was taken of the sea fish, which would 

 require more lengthy observation, hi the streams we noticed 

 Trout, Minnow, and a number of Smolt which had not yet gone 

 out to sea. 



For general Entomology Mr. T. A, Lofthouse writes; — 

 Although the weather conditions were apparently favoiirable, it 

 being hot and sunny, Kilton Woods, the ground visited, by. the 

 entomologists (of whom there were members present from 

 Hartlepool, Sheffield, and Middlesbrough), proved on the day 

 to be most unsatisfactory, and not at all in accord with my 

 previous experiences on this ground at about the same time in 

 other seasons. Upwards of thirty species w^ere noted, many of 



1905 August I.
