FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT, FOR I906. 
13 
members of the British Association, Section D, Zoology, in York. 
This excellent paper, by such a well-known authority on Melanism, 
should be in the hands of all Yorkshire Lepidopterists. 
A full and detailed list of interesting notes (with names of the 
contributors) on the season 1906, compiled from records sent by 
numerous Yorkshire Lepidopterists to the Honorary Secretaries, 
will probably appear in an early number of the Naturalist." 
It is also suggested that the members of the Entomological 
Section hold an Annual Meeting at places to be determined on, 
prior to the Annual Meeting of the Y.N.U., and that an exhibition 
and examination of specimens be held at this meeting, also that 
one or more papers on entomological subjects be read. 
The following were elected for 1907 : — 
President — W. Hewett, York. 
Secretaries — (For Coleo.ptera) E. G. Bayford, Barnsley ; 
(Lepidoptera) A. Whitaker, Barnsley, and 
T. A. Lofthouse, Middlesborough ; (Hymen- 
optera, Hemiptera, and Diptera) W. D. 
Roebuck, Leeds ; (Neuroptera, Orthoptera, and 
Trichoptera) G. T. Porritt, Huddersfield. 
Representative on Executive — William Hewett, York. 
Representatives on Committee of Suggestions — G. T. Porritt 
and W. Hewett. 
ConcholOgical Section.— Mr. J. E. Crowther reports :— 
This section has been officially represented at all the ordinary 
meetings of the Union during the summer, and although not many 
new records have been made, much good work has been done 
where the conditions were favourable. Reports of all the meetings 
have appeared in the *' Naturalist." 
At Ingleton Mr. Roebuck reported that thirty-one species had 
been noted (made up of twenty-nine land and two fresh water 
species), though their number is by no means representative of the 
district, which is very rich in land shells. The only finds worthy 
of mention were var. violacae of Agriolimax agrestis, and the 
abundance and very large size of Avion circumscriptiis. 
The Flambro' meeting was well attended, and though the 
weather was rather dry a fairly good list was made, in all twenty- 
eight species and five varieties, the most noteworthy being Milax 
gagates at Bempton, and var. alholateralis of Avion atev in some 
numbers near the same place. 
Owing to the district being geologically unfavourable, Messrs. 
Taylor and Roebuck found the neighbourhood of Fewston and 
Swinsty Reservoir rather barren, only seven species of molluscs 
being noted, though one of these, Vitvia alliavia^ had not been 
previously recorded for the district.
