 Presidential Address to the Hull Field Naturalists' Society 1885. 



* This article was the author's most important contribution to ento- 

 mological science. At its close he expressed his views with regard to the 

 cause of Melanism thus : — ' The inference can be drawn that we originally 

 owe our insular fauna to migration from the south, and that melanism is 

 primarily due to the peculiar geographical position of these islands .... 

 Yorkshire melanism may be treated as merely local aberration, not affect- 

 ing the general question.'
