REPORT OF THE 
year, Helix lamellata and Acme fusca have again been taken in 
Hackness Woods; Helix fusca has been found upon the leaves 
of birch trees, in Forge Valley, at a considerable height above 
the ground. The rare slug, Li-max cinereo-niger , has been taken 
at Hayburn Wyke, and though the richest locality for Pupa 
ringens has been destroyed by the extension of building and 
drainage on the South Cliff at Scarborough, the shell has been 
collected in several spots about Cornelian Bay. 
Comparative Anatomy.— The collections included under 
this head are in good order. No additions or alterations have 
been made during the past year. Many common types are 
still wanting, and the Honorary Curator recommends that a 
few of the specimens wanted be purchased each year until the 
collections are made thoroughly representative. 
Entomology. —The Honorary Curator reports that the Allis 
collection of Lepidoptera and the Hey collection of Coleoptera 
are in good order. 
The general collection is in process of re-arrangement, the 
lines followed are those of the Introductory. Full explanatory 
labels will be used throughout, and all technical terms will be 
explained. So far there has been considerable delay in 
consequence of the imperfect condition of our Neuroptera, the 
first Order in the scheme adopted. Whole families of this 
Order are unrepresented, but it is hoped that in the course of 
the present year, representatives of the missing groups may be 
obtained, so that the re-arrangement of the collection may be 
proceeded with. 
We are indebted to Mr. C. Phillips for an excellent series of 
insects, chiefly Lepidoptera, collected in Perak. 
Report of Ornithological Department. —Five new 
cases of birds have been added during the year, namely :—two 
Hoopoes, re-cased from Strickland collection; one Partridge, a 
beautiful variety with “white” instead of chestnut horseshoe 
on the breast, Thirsk ; two Black Guillemots, adult, from 
Scarborough; two Great Crested Grebes; two Curlews. 
Several very interesting specimens have been purchased or 
presented.
