YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION. 
Robin Hood's Bay. — In the May Naturalist," Professor 
Kendall kindly contributed some geological notes on the Robin 
Hood's Bay district, in which he set forth the problems to be 
investigated on the occasion of the excursion, which was held 
from May i8th to 20th. From the report of this, which appeared 
in "The Naturalist" for June and July, it would seem that an 
exceptionally profitable time was spent. The geologists were 
particularly to the fore, but adv-antage was taken of this coast 
excursion for investigating the marine zoology, and under this 
head the Rev. F. H. Woods presented a useful list of the 
specimens noticed. The President, Mr. C. Crossland, presided at 
crowded meetings on two evenings, when Professor Kendall gave 
an address on "Some Geological Problems of the District," paying 
special attention to the persistent faultings ; Mr. F. Elgee read a 
paper on "Glacial Survivors," which has since been printed in 
"The Naturalist"; the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Sheppard, described 
a recent British Chariot-Burial which he had excavated in the 
district ; and Mr. J. J. Burton and Mr. Riley Fortune read in- 
teresting- contributions on the Natural History, etc., of Fylingdales, 
which had been kindly prepared by Mr. J. W. Barry, some of 
which have since been printed in "The Naturalist." Fourteen 
new members were elected, and two societies were affiliated with 
the Union. 
South Cave. — After a lapse of thirteen years, the Union 
visited South Cave and spent a pleasant day in investigating the 
geological sections exposed in the cuttings of the Hull and Barns- 
ley Railway Company, and the dales adjoining. The members 
of the Hull Scientific and Field Naturalists' Club and the Hull 
Geological Society acted as leaders. Reports of the various 
sections were printed in the August "Naturalist." Two new 
members were elected. 
On Thursday, July nth, Thorne "Waste was visited, and 
the members had an opportunity of examining one of the few 
pieces of wild moorland in that part of the county. A full 
report of the work accomplished is given in the September 
" Naturalist." Two new members were elected. 
A pleasant week-end was spent at ArnclifFe, where the 
members monopolised almost every available bed in the village. 
The various sections worked hard for three or four days, and 
a lengthy account of the work accomplished is given in the 
October " Naturalist," which was enlarged for the purpose. At 
an evening meeting held under the presidency of Mr. Crossland, 
papers were read by the Rev. W. A. Shuffrey on "The Botanical 
Features of Littondale," (which has since been printed in "The 
Naturalist"); and on "Yorkshire Hemiptera, etc.," by Mr. W.
