Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee.— Mr. M. L. Thomp- 
son writes that members of the Committee attended the meetings 
of the Union at Ripon, Askrig-g, Loftus, and Ciidworth. At Ripon 
fifty-four species of coleoptera were met with along the route to 
Studley and through the grounds of Fountains Abbey, including 
Phyllotreta tetrastigma^ an insect new to the count}-. Forty-two 
beetles were taken at Askrigg and on the shore of the Semmer- 
water, amongst them being the brilliant Chlcsnms nigricornis and 
the local Cceliodes geranii. Of the thirty-two species met with at 
the Loftus meeting the most interesting was Dorytonius pectoralis. 
A number of very interesting and uncommon insects belong- 
ing to this order have been taken by individual members working 
in various localities. These include StenolopJms elegans at Thorne 
Moor ; Hygroiioma dimidiata, Clyhis mysticns, A tactogenus exiwatiis^ 
Trachyphlwus aristatus^ &c.y from the Doncaster District; Noma- 
lota elegantiila^ Phyfosiis baliictcs, Salpingiis ater^ Ilybius fenestraitis 
at Saltburn ; and CoccidiiUi scutellata at Barnsley. 
It is proposed to publish in the " Naturalist" an account of 
observations on Yorkshire coleoptera made during the last two 
years; and it is hoped that notes on the subject will be sent to the 
Secretary as early as possible to enable this to be done. 
The Committee was re-appointed as follows : — 
Chairman — M. L. Thompson, Saltburn. 
Convener — E. G. Bayford, Barnsley. 
Representative on Executive — H. Ostheide.

Boulder Committee. — The members of this Committee 
appear to have kept the object of the Committee's work before 
them during the past year, notwithstanding the fact that cataloguing 
of the larger boulders of the county appears to have been fairly 
well done. The East Riding Boulder Committee has also con- 
tinued its investigations, particularly as regards the arrangement 
and proportions of various boulders and pebbles in the different 
horizons in drift deposits. Details of these investigations, which 
are not completed, will be published later. Mr. M. Ling records
