YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION. 
Exogyra sinuata and a large number of Ammonites in good pre- 
servation, B. suhquadratus, small lamellibranchs, etc. The bedding 
of the Speeton Clay was distinctly seen, and the fossils, though 
of a fragile nature, were uncrushed. The full extent of the mass 
could not be seen, as it dipped downward towards the cliff. 
Note. — The only place where this clay occurs in situ is at 
Speeton, thirty miles to the north of this locality.

Yorkshire Bryolog'ical Committee.— No meetings 
have been held during the past year, but the notices of mosses 
and hepatics seen at the excursions, and also new localities for 
many species show that some work is being done. The publication 
of the Moss Club's new Census Catalogue (the editing of which 
devolved on Mr. W. Ingham) has been the most interesthig 
bryological feature of the year, and should stimulate work in 
recording localities omitted in this list.

MycolOg'ical Committee.— Mr. C. Crossland writes:— The 
Mycological Committee has been active during the year 1907. 
In the March issue of the "Naturalist" the fungi discovered 
in Yorkshire, subsequent to the publication of the Yorkshiie 
Fungus Flora, were brought together under one heading. They 
consisted of 2 species new to science ; 7 new to Britain ; and 4^' 
and 3 varieties new to Yorkshire, making the total of known 
Yorkshire fungi up to that date 2681.
