The New Park Spring route will afford very little opportunity for collecting 
aquatic species, but those mentioned above may be found in the canal adjoining 
the district marked out for investigation. 
The following additional species are also recorded in the Trans. Y.N.U. 
as occuring in the Barnsley Canal, viz. : — Planorbis albiis, Umbilicatiis fonianusy 
l/nio pictoruniy SpJmrium rivicola, S. pallidum. 
ENTOMOLOGY.— The Entomological Section will be officially represented 
by Mr. A. Whitaker, one of its Secretaries, 
Macro-Lepidoptera. — Mr. Whitaker writes : — The district to be worked is a 
very good one for the Lepidopterist, and the following amongst other species 
occur, and should be obtained in the larval stage if worked for : — L. camelina, 
N. dictae, dictaeoides, drotiiedarius^ and zic-zac^ P. bucephala, C. duplaris and 
Jluciiiosa, A. diliitay A. leporina and alni, B. parlhenias, A. betularia var. 
Doubledavaria, T. biundiilaria (melanic), E. piinctaria, A. sylvala and 7-emularia, 
C. rotundaria^ M, littirata, E. lariciala, ptilchellata, pygvieaia, fraxiiiata, and 
venosata, H. irifasciata (melanic), M, ocellaia^ hastala and tristata, and 
many others. 
Species which occur on the Commons and in the lanes are B. qiiercns var. 
callufKE, 0. potaioria, S. fuliginosa, A. mendica, etc. 
Members who can arrange to stay at night and "sugar" will be sure to 
take C. paleacea, along with other species, if the weather is at all favourable for 
this method of collecting. The following species will also be out, and may be 
obtained if worked for : — G. libatrix, X. fiilvago and fiavago, A. pistacina, rufijta, 
and liliira, C. viiata and imanaia, E. alniaria, and pennaria, H. micacea, G. 
ochracea, A. stiffiisa, etc. 
One of the most interesting records for the district is the finding of five full 
grown larvae of .S". co7ivolvuli at Royston, on September 2nd, 1901 (see Naturalist 
for 1901, pages 289 — 90). 
Coleoptera. — The Yorkshire Coleoptera Committee will be officially represented 
by Messrs. J. W. Carter, F.E.S., and H. Ostheide, F.E.S. 
Mr. E. G. Bayford writes : — The district to be investigated is a very promising 
one for the Coleopterist. Uncommon species, such as Drojnius ^-jtotatusy 
Bembidin?n rufescens, Silpha thoracica, S. ^-punctata, Necrodes litioralis^ 
Scaphidiu7)i ^-7}iaciilatu7n, Sei'ica b7-un7iea, and Mela7id7ya ca7-aboides have been 
found there. The lateness of the excursion should result in a preponderance of 
species of a fungus-loving nature, if the weather has been favourable to the growth ' 
of Fungi. Of these a number have already been recorded from the district, 
Leisiot7-ophus, Staphyli/iiis, Oxyp07iis, Boliiobiiis, and Tripkyllus being the- 
principal genera represented.
