Yorkshire Naturalists at Filey. 
list so far as the protection of its eggs is concerned, and for this reason the 
Wild Birds and Eggs Protection Committee of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ 
Union is prevented from taking action in the matter. The question 
was raised at the meeting which concluded this excursion, and the 
above explanation will no doubt be of interest to those who took part in 
the discussion. 
A pair of Stonechats had a nest in the underbrush at Hunmanby 
Gap. The writer’s attention was first attracted by the musical ‘ clink, 
clink,’ from which the bird derives its name, a noise resembling the tap- 
ping together of small stones. 
To list the species observed, the following were noted on the Cliffs : — 
Lesser Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Fulmar Petrel, Kittiwake, 
Guillimot, Razorbill, Jackdaw, Puffin, Rockdove, Rock Pipit, Swift 
and Sand Martin . By the shore and bottom of the cliffs : — Black Headed 
Gull, Shore Lark, Meadow Pipit ; and on the return along the cliff top 
and through the marshy hollows caused by land slips we saw Cuckoo, 
Tree Pipit, Stonechat, Linnet, Common Bunting, Reed Bunting, Yellow 
Bunting, Moorhen, Pied Wagtail, and Song Thrush. 
Only the commonest species of mammals and batrachians were noted . 
Entomology (A. Smith). — Lepidoptera were by no means plentiful 
owing to the rather cold north-easterly gale. Among the butterflies- 
noted were, Pieris napi in numbers, Caenonympha pamphilus plentiful, 
as were also Epinephele janira, Lycana icarus, and Chrysophanus phloeas . 
One specimen, female, of Argynnis aglaia was noted. With regard to 
the moths, the narrow bordered five -spot Burnet was common on the 
cliffs between Filey and Speeton, in both pupa and imago stages, but 
only a single specimen of the six -spot Burnet was observed. The 
narrow bordered Five-spot Burnet, Z. lonicerae, from this locality 
appears to have a broader black margin to the hind wing than have our 
York specimens, and they more closely resemble Z. trifolii. Z .filipendula 
was also seen. Odeyia atrata was in plentiful numbers among grass. 
The larvae of Hipocrita jacobaeae and Orgyia antiqua were fairly common 
and Petilampa arcuosa occured in marshy places near Hunmanby. 
Mollusca (A. Smith) .—Freshwater species observed were Limnea 
peregra, Sphaerium corneum and specimens of a Pisidia still unindentified. 
The land species seen included Helix aspersa, H. nemoralis (and vars.), 
H. arbustorum, H. cantiana, H. virgata and vars., H. caper ata, H. 
hispida, H . rotundata ; Pupa marginaia, Clausilia rugosa and Succinea 
puiris.

Meeting (No. 201), should have been ascribed to Mr. Riley Fortune.
