ENTOMOLOGY. — The Entomological Section will be officially represervted. 
Lepidoptera. — Mr. G. T. Porrilt writes in 1904 (when the date of the excursion 
was 5 days earlier) : — Spurn is a very good entomological locality, as a reference to 
the "List of Yorkshire Lepidoptera" will show. The date of the excursion 
is, however, a little too early for many of its characteristic species, but among 
those which ought to be obtained are Charocampa pojcellus, Orgyia /ascelina, 
Leiicania liUoralis, Mamestra albicolon, Agroiis coidcea, and A. ripce, which are 
all common there. Other species which are mostly abundant laier, and which 
might possibly at the date of the excursion be found, or raked up as larvoe or pupx, 
include 7 apinostola elyrni, Ag7otis valligera, A. cursoria, A. tritica, A.aquiliHa, A. 
ictvida, and A. proccox. Special search should be made at night with a light 
for the rare Eupithecia innotata on Artemisia, which, although not yet recorded 
for Yorkshire, is almost certain to occur at Spurn. It was at Spurn, too, that 
Mr. W. Eagle Clarke took our only county specimen of Hcliothis peltigera, and 
also where the rare Eupithecia extensaria occurred, 
Coleoptera : — The Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee will be officially repre- 
sented by Mr. E, G. Bayford, r.E.S., and Mr. T. Slainlorth. 
Mr, E. G. Bayford writes : — Kilnsea Warren and the Spurn peninsula 
together present many attractive features to the Coleopterist. Nebria livida, 
Atnara bifrons, Calathus fuscns, frechus obtusus, Berosus luridus, Saprin-us 
viaritimus, /Egialia arenaria, Phyllopertha hotiicola, Anomala frischii, and its 
unicolorous metallic green variety, Cis fuscaiui^ Sermyla halensis, Nacerdes 
tnelanura, and Cleonus sulcir stris, are a few of the species that have been met 
with, some of them in abundance. Somewhat further north, near Withernsea, 
Pelobius tardus has occurred, and is the only modern Vorkshire record for this 
interesting species. 
Mr. Stainforth writes that he has obtained the following- species at Spurn about 
the date of the excursion , — Amara tibialis, A. lucida, Sienns impre<^svs, Heliopathes 
gibbus, Phaleria cada7}erina and Notoxus monoceros.

when recorded, been discovered elsewhere in the county, such as Prosthesima
