Mr. Peter Cameron in the Chair. 



Mr. Robert Turner reported that an excursion had been made 

 on 12th inst. to ThornHebank and neighbourhood. On account 

 of the coldness of the season, comparatively few flowering plants 

 were observed; the most noteworthy being Corydalis claviculaia, 

 DC, and Viola odorata, L., found near Eastwood Park; Arnni 

 mnculatum, L., observed growing at a hedge-root in the 

 policies ; and Onij^haludes verna, a hardy garden perennial, 

 which had established itself in the Rouken Glen and was 

 apparently quite naturalized.

 tion of British TricJioptera, Neuroptera-Planipennia, and
