THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST.

MEETINGS OF SOCIETIES. 
Yorkshire Naturalists’ Club. — 
The annual meeting of this society 
was held at Mr. Graham’s, Market 
street, on Monday evening, Eeb. 16. 
when E. Smallwood, Esq., occupied 
the chair. 
The unfavourable state of the 
weather during nearly the whole of 
the past summer prevented many of 
the intended excursions, only one to 
Tadcaster having taken place. In 
June last several of the members visi- 
ted Tadcaster, and spent a pleasant 
afternoon in investigating the natural 
history of the district. They were 
hospitably entertained by Mr. Ireland, 
a report of which was published at 
the time. The committee cannot 
conclude their report without expres- 
sing the regret they feel at the loss 
which the club, in common with 
several other societies, has sustained 
by the death of its vice-president, Mr. 
0. A. Moore. Mr. Moore was one 
of the founders of the club, from the 
establishment of which to the time of 
his death he continued to take a lively 
interest in its proceedings, contribu- 
ting largely to the usefulness and 
interest of its meetings by many valu - 
able communications. The committee 
feel assured that the meeting will con- 
cur with them in their expression of 
regret at his death, not only because 
they have thereby lost a valuable 
member of the society, but also for 
the loss of one who in every relation 
of life well deserved the good opinion 
of his friends. As a naturalist, few 
possessed a keener taste for, orajuster 
appreciation of, the value of natural 
history studies. As a friend and fel- 
low worker, his extensive knowledge 
and genial disposition rendered him a 
pleasant aud instructive companion. 
On Tuesday evening the ordinary 
monthly meeting was held, when the 
Rev. G. Rowe occupied the chair. 
Three new members were elected. 
Mr. Pkest exhibited a collection of 
Lepidoptera from different parts of 
Europe, amongst which were the fol- 
lowing : Parnassius delius, Colias 
Phicomone, Lybitliea Celtis, Chrysop- 
hanus Thersamon, Erebia Gorge, Cyclo- 
pides steropes, &c., &c. 
The meeting then adjourned to the 
first Wednesday in March.
