Yorksliire Botanical Survey Committee.— Steady 
progress is being made with the work which is the special object 
of this Committee. Ingleton was selected as the special excursion 
for organised Botanical Survey ; the results were satisfactory, and 
a report was published in the ''Naturalist" for June. Useful 
reports have also been published by members of the Committee in 
connection with the Flamborough and Askern excursions. Mem- 
bers took part in the preparation of the botanical part of the 
handbook for the York meeting of the British Association. The 
very short notice given of the week-end excursion in connection 
with this meeting completely disorganised a projected Botanical 
Survey excursion in this interesting area. The Survey begun at 
the Scarborough Y.N.U. meeting in 1904 of the area from the 
Vale of Pickering to the Tees, including the Clevelands and the 
Hambletons, has been almost completed by members of the 
Y.N.U., and will be issued during 1907. It is also gratifying to 
be able to report that workers in several parts of the county are 
now engaged in investigations which promise to contribute 
materially to knowledge on the relation of plants to environment. 
The following were elected for 1907 : — 
Chairman — T. W. Woodhead, Huddersfield. 
Convener and Representative on Executive and Committee 
of Suggestions — Dr. W. G. Smith, Leeds.

F. Elgee, Middlesborough ; H. J. Wilkinson, York ; A." 
Wilkinson, York ; W. Jackson, Goole. 
Committee of Suggrestions for Research.— The 
suggestion tor a standard method of dividing Ordnance Maps 
used in recording data of Natural History has been further 
discussed ; there is now no reason why a working plan should not 
be adopted, but a meeting will be necessary for arrangement of 
details.
