FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT, FOR I908. 
23 
cially represented at Hampole, and no conchological report came 
to its knowledge. The excursion to Osmotherley was particularly 
interesting, as the district had never been previously investigated, 
and the woods of Ingleby Arncliffe proved a rich and interesting 
collecting ground.- At Clapham, the chief attention was paid 
to the comparatively unworked area about Austwick, but the 
results were not equal to expectation. 
-In respect of Marine Mollusca, the Rev. F. H. Woods collected 
and noted a number of species on the only occasion on which the 
Union visited the coast-line. 
The last-named member has lately made in the newspapers 
a request for assistance in bringing together material for a future 
list of the marine mollusca of the Yorkshire Coast. This subject 
the Section proposes to consider at one of its monthly meetings 
during the coming year. 
The following Officers were elected for 1909 : — 
President — W. Harrison Hutton, Leeds. 
Secretaries — W. Denison Roebuck, Leeds, J. F. Musham, 
Lincoln ; and T. W. Saunders, Saltburn. 
Representative on Executive — J. E. Crowther. 
Representative on Committee of Suggestions — W. Harrison 
Hutton. 
Marine Bsology Committee. — The Rev. F. H. Wood 
-writes that since the last report, not very much definite work 
has been done in this branch of Marine Zoology. It should, how- 
•ever, be noted that at the Hornsea meeting three, for this coast 
rare, species were found, Dosinia {Artemis) exoleta, Cardium 
norvegicum, Pecten tigerinus (tigrinus).* During last winter 
I paid visits to the museums at Cambridge, Oxford, and South 
Kensington (British Museum), carefully comparing specimens 
collected on this coast last year (1907). The result is to shew 
that there are several species of small shells, many of them quite 
common, which have never been recorded. Adding these to 
the hst published by Mr. Hey in " The Naturalist " of 1884-5, 
pp. 26-31 and 129-133, and the specimens recorded by Mr. Fetch in 
his descriptions of the marine fauna of Holderness and Humber 
district, pubUshed in the " Transactions of the Hull Scientific 
and Field Naturalists' Club," 1903, and those mentioned in Jeffrey's 
" British Conchology " as found on the Yorkshire Coast ; I have 
4rawn up a provisional Hst, so far as I have as yet been able 
to ascertain. This comprises 164 species, of which 105 have 
been found, not necessarily for the first time, in the last two 
* In the list of species found at Hornsea, published on p. 308 (Aug-ust) of 
•*'The Naturalist,' Mactra elliptica should probably be Mactra solida.
