BATH ROYAL HORTICULTURAL AND BOTANICAL SOCIETY. 



The first show of the season took place on the 27th of May, under quite as 

 favourable auspices as could have been expected. 



WOLVERHAMPTON AND STAFFORDSHIRE HORTICULTURAL 

 AND FLORAL SOCIETY. 



This Society held its first exhibition for the present season on Tuesday last, 

 at the Star and Garter Hotel, and, notwithstanding the ungenial spring, many 

 fine specimens were exhibited. Those that attracted particular notice were Azalias 

 and Panseys. The day being very unfavourable, the visitors were not numerous, 

 but highly respectable. 



SALOP HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The first exhibition in 1838 took place on the 30th of April, when the prizes 

 were awarded. 



DONCASTER LYCEUM. 



We regret the non-appearance of a report of this Society for 1837- Did not 

 the report for 1836 succeed, or is the Institution going down hill ? We are well- 

 wishers of the Lyceum ; and therefore we throw out the above hint, thinking 

 that the state of the Society should be announced annually to its subscribers and 

 the public. 



BRITISH ASSOCIATION. 



The Meeting will take place this year at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, in the week 

 commencing with the 20th of August.

ZOOLOGY. 

 Additional Locality of the Red Grous. — I omitted mentioning, in my 

 " Catalogue of Birds found in Lancashire" (Vol. II., p. 353), that the Red Grous 

 (Lagopus Scoticus) occurs not uncommonly upon Woolston Moss, near Warring- 

 ton. — Peter Rylands, Bewsey House, Warrington, May 19, 1837.
