BOOKS AND MAPS —The whole area is included in a Sheet of the 
One-Inch Ordnance Map, which may be obtained geologically coloured. Baker's 
"North Yorkshire" may be consulted. For an account of the geology of the 
■district, see the "Naturalist" for August ist. 
THE DISTRICT.— Upper Wharfedale is the union of two dales, Langstroth- 
dale and Littondale, which unite about half a mile above Kilnsey Scar. These two 
■dales are approximately equal in extent as regards drainage area and the length of 
their streams. Langstrothdale has been more than once visited by the Union, and 
is not within the scope of the present excursion, which is intended exclusively for 
the investigation of Littond&le, the basin drained by the little river Skirfare, which 
joins the Wharfe between Kilnsey and Kettlewell. Zoologists and botanists are 
therefore desired to confine their attention to this river-basin, no part of which is 
lower than 636 feet in altitude, the height marked close to Skipton Bridge, which 
carries the high road across the mouth of the valley, and the present opportunity 
is a good one for working Littondale and its little tributary gills, watered by the Cush 
Beck, Foxup Beck, Halton Beck, Heslcdcn Beck, and Covvside Beck. The lofty 
summit of Penyghent (^23 1 feet), P'ountains Fell (2191 feet), Darnbrook Fell (2048 
feet), Cush Knott (1950 feet), and the Horse's Head (2001 feet), are also included 
within the area to be worked, the whole district forming an attractive area of mountain 
country, of which practically nothing is known zoologically and not very much 
botanically beyond the immediate vicinity of Arncliffe itself. 
HEADQUARTERS.— The Falcon Hotel, Arncliffe. 
EVENING MEETING.— Saturday evening, at 8-0 p.m., at the Falcon 
Hotel, Arncliffe, there will be a meeting, at which the President will be in the 
chair, and the Rev. W. A. Shuffrey, M.A., will read a paper upon "The Botany 
of Littondale," and Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F. L. S., will give some notes on the 
list of He-viiptera known to inhabit Yorkshire, and a note on some recent additions 
to the list oi Hymefioptera. It is hoped there will be a full attendance of the new 
Committee for Yorkshire Hynnenoptera, Diptera, and Hemiptera. 
ROUTES. — The Rev. W. A. Shuffrey will conduct a party to the place where 
Dryas or Ruhiis Ckamamorus grows. 
PERMISSION to visit his property has been kindly granted by 
Mr. Walter Morrison, Malham, Skipton. 
GEOLOGY. — The Geological Section will be officially represented by 
Mr. Cosmo Johns, F.G.S.
