several species which might reasonably be expected to be 

 plentiful was noticeable, as for instance the yellow wagtail and 

 the corn bunting, the country being particularly suitable for 

 both species. Spotted fly-catchers were very plentiful. The 

 presence of wood-peckers was detcted bv their work on the 

 trees, but the birds were neither seen nor heard. 



Mr. G. T. Porritt reports that the only Xeuroptera noticed 

 of any interest were Chrysopa tenella, rather commonly, and 

 Micromus pa^^auus. The small Trichopteron .4^^(7/)t'//rs /;Ls\'//it'5 

 was abundant among the aquatic vegetation growing in the 

 stream running through Skelbrook Park. 



In the evening, after tea at the Glyn Hotel. Doncaster, a 

 meeting was held under the presidency ot ]\Ir. Pomtt, at which 

 thanks were accorded to Dr. Corbett, of Doncaster, who had 

 carried out the arrangements, and to the landowners, for per- 

 mission to visit the estates. 



CoLEOPTERA, — The entomologists present were Messrs. 

 G. T. Porritt. H. H. Corbett. and E. G. Bayford, the 

 last two also representing the Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee. 

 The prevaihng \\ind during the earlier part of the da\' 

 proved a great drawback to collecting, few insects being on 

 the wing, the results being of a somewhat unsatisfactory 

 character. One of the notable sights of the day was the 

 trunk of a large Ash tree, honeycombed wi^th the burrows 

 of larvae of Si}wdc}idro)i cylindricum. of which several hundreds 

 must have been present. The following is a list of the Coleop-
