Mr. R. Fortune writes : — The members of this section are to be 
congratulated upon the fact that the County Councils of Yorkshire 
have, with only one or two minor alterations, adopted the 
suggestion of the Union for the better protection of birds and their 
eggs in the county. The full schedule is published in the 
December " Naturalist." 
We should like to appeal to all Yorkshire ornithologists to 
aid the authorities with all their power, to see that the provisions 
of the Act are carried out, and specially would we ask that the 
following species, be accorded special protection. They are all in 
imminent danger of being exterminated as species nesting in the 
county : — Peregrine Falcon, Common Buzzard, Raven, Stone 
Curlew, and Great Crested Grebe.
