circle which their previous experience of the Y.N.U. is sure 
to render very congenial to them. The programme of the 
Geological, Botanical and Zoological Sections is full of interest 
to our members, and all sections and meetings can be attended 
by a member joining the British Association.

Albino Crested Newt in Surrey. — An albino crested 
Newt was taken in a pond at Sanderstead, Surrey, on 
Friday, 30th June. Instead of the usual form, dark grey 
or blackish brown, with orange underparts blotched with 
black, the specimen is creamy white, with pink eyes. —

Liparis lucens Meign. on Phragmites communis at 
Strensall. — The cigar-shaped malformation of the reed 
caused by L. lucens , which was first observed in the North of 
England by Mr. Wm. Falconer, during the Y. N. U. Excursion 
to Askham Bog in August of last year, and reported by him in 
The Naturalist, 1922, p. 44, may now be placed on record as 
above. On July 16th, Mr. Sydney H. Smith and the writer 
visited the Common, where this gall was found in abundance on 
reeds in the bog pools east of the Rifle Butts. — F. A. Mason. 
Cryptocampus medullarius Htg. at Huddersfield. — 
The discovery of the gall of C. medullarius in the Black Burn 
Valley, near Scammonden, re-establishes this insect as a local 
species. The previous record is from Storthes Hall, by Peter 
Inchbald, although recent investigations have failed to locate 
it there. On April 17th last, I found a bush of Salix pen- 
tandra in the above locality bearing a large quantity of this 
gall. — Charles Mosley. 
The locality is within a very short distance from my house, 
and I have known the gall occurred there for close on four 
years. Its name is included with some three hundred others 
in a Huddersfield list which I gave to Mr. S. L. Mosley some 
time ago.- — W. Falconer. 
More Yorkshire Hemiptera. — In compiling his list of 
Yorkshire Homoptera ( antea , pp. 159-162), Mr. Fordham 
unfortunately missed a paper by Dr. J. W. H. Harrison on 
* The Psyllidae of the Clevelands ’ ( The Naturalist, 1915, 
pp. 400-1, indexed in error as pp. 403-4). This adds eleven 
species to Mr. Fordham’s 114. I have further localities for 
many species, and, in addition, the following new records : 
Homoptera : Anoscopus limicola, Hull ; Athysanus sahlbergi 
Reut., Yorkshire side of Tees at Barnard Castle ; Psylla sorbi 
Edw., Hayburn Wyke ; Chlorita viridula Fall., Silpho Moor. 
Heteroptera : Cyrtorrhinus flaveolus Reut., Hull. Calocoris 
alpestris Mey., usually rare, has occurred to me in some 
numbers in Raincliffe Woods. — Geo. B. Walsh, Scarborough.
