ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION 
Diptera (Chris. A. Cheetham) : — Good collecting days have been 
very few this year, and no special insects have been seen in quantity 
unless we say that some of the biting midges belonging to Ceratopogonids 
have been too plentiful at times. In an effort to find a of Tipula 
excisa many visits were paid to Penyghent and Ingleborough, but these 
were unsuccessful, in fact the were exceedingly scarce and few were 
captured, the one occasion that a species of Tipula was seen in numbers 
sufficient to cause comment was at Leek Fell on August 20th where 
Tipula marmorata was very abundant, T . alpium was plentiful as usual, 
but T . vernalis much scarcer than it is normally. 
Ephemeroptera (John R. Dibb) : — In presenting this first report it 
is pleasing to realise that another step forward has been made in the 
progress of the Y.N.U. in so far as the Ephemeroptera is an order of 
insects which has not been considered until a year ago to be sufficiently 
worked upon in Yorkshire to warrant the presentation of an annual 
report . 
This is a suitable occasion upon which an acknowledgement to previous 
Y.N.U. workers may be made. I refer to the excellent and valuable 
work which was done during the years 1927-1929 by Dr. Percival and Mr. 
H. Whitehead. Fortunately the results of this work were published 
in The Journal of Ecology, The Entomologists’ Monthly Magazine , The 
Proceedings of the Leeds Philosophical Society, and the Union’s organ. 
The Naturalist, and undoubtedly we have to thank these investigators 
for the fact that other Y.N.U. members are now interesting themselves- 
in the May-flies, and that our knowTedge of the Yorkshire Ephemeroptera 
is definitely on the advance.
