Circular 251] 
MARINE ZOOLOGY— The Marine Biology Committee will be officially 
represented by its President, Mr. J. Irving. M.D . and its Secretary, Rev, F. H. 
Woods, B.D. Dr. Irving writes: — The neap tides will be against the work of 
the Marine Biologists. In the pools, and under boulders near the Brig end, a 
good deal may be accomplished. The Scarlet-fringed Anemone is common at 
Filey, and the Sea-hare {Aplasia) should be found in the shallow pools, together 
with their brown egg- coils attached to brown weeds. Zoophytes, Sponges, 
Worms and Nudibranchs will be obtainable at low water. 
ENTOMOLOGY.— The Entomological Section will be officially rep'-e- 
sented by its President, Mr. E. O. Croft, M.D., and Mr. G. T. Porritt. Mr. 
Porritt writes : — Larvae of Toxocampa pasiicinum ought to be found about the 
patches of Vicia sylvatica on the cliffs, as well as an abundance of larvsc of Zygtfiia 
trifolii on Lotus comiculatus. 
Coleoptera. — The Coleoptera Committee will be officially represented 
by its Secretary, Dr. W. J Fordham. and Mr. T. Stainforth. B.A. Dr. 
Fordham writes : — The list of captures made on a previous visit May 30 — 
June 1. 1903 (See Nat. 1903. pp. 246-7) may be consulted. The attention of 
Coleopterists should be directed especially to the species of Dyschirius which are 
recorded from Bridlington and Scarborough but not from Filey. Cassida vihex 
and C. hamispharica, the only Yorkshire records are one specimen of each taken 
at Filey by Canon Fowler. Chaetocnema conducta recently added to the British 
list by Mr. E. C. Horrell, on the authority of two specimens from Forge Valley, 
should be looked for. The Boulder Clay Cliffs are prolific in beetles. Sweeping 
should be tried on the top and grassy sides of the cliffs. The cliff pools to the 
south are productive of several good water beetles. The Tiger Beetle is abundant 
on the lower part of Carr Naze. Amongst a long list of records the following 
may be specially mentioned; — Nehria livida, Bradycellus sharpi, Harpalus puncti- 
collis, Bembidium an^licanum, Ccelambus confluens, Hydroporus discretus, H. pictus, 
Agabus paludosus, Anacana limbata, Choetarthria seminulum, Henicocerus exsciilptus 
Cercyon depressus, Stenus flavipes, S. melanopus, Corticaria denticulata, Atomaria 
wesomelas, Hippodamia variegata, H. 13-punctata, Siibcoccinella 24-punctata, Aphodius 
depressus, Corymbites aneus, Aphthona nonstriaia, Adimonia tanaceti, Apion tenue, 
Tanysphyrus lemnce, Poophagus sisymbrii, Ceuthorhynchus quadridens, Sitones lineellus, 
S. humeralis, Hypera rumicis, H . suspiciosa, H . trilineata, Tycliius schneideri, T. 
lineatulus, Coeliodes geranii, Phytobius 4. tuberculatus and Nacerdes melanura. 
ARACHNIDA. — The Arachnida Committee will be officially represented 
by its Secretary, Mr. T. Stainforth, B.A. Mr. W. Falconer writes: — A little 
casual collecting has been done in the district by Mr. T. Stainforth and myself, 
but so far the list is only numerically small. As the season of the year is one of the 
best for Arachnida, additions can readily be made. No great rarity is on record 
for the immediate neighbourhood, but farther north, at Carnelian Bay, I ob- 
tained in 1906, a female of one of our rarest British spiders, Syedra pholcommoides 
Camb. Mr. Scainforth adds that Coelotes atropos is recorded from Speeton.
