Inglbby Greenhow, June 22. — There was a good attendance 

 of members at this excursion, about twenty ladies and gentlemen 

 being present. Time did not permit of a visit to the hills, so that 

 the geologists of the party had a blank day. Nearly 90 plants were 

 found in bloom. 



Ayton, July 6. — This was an excursion arranged specially for 

 inspecting the Cleveland Dyke, and hearing a paper read upon it by 

 the President (Dr. Veitch), a copy of which is appended. After 

 the paper had been read and shortly discussed, Eoseberry and its 

 environs were examined. The botanists succeeded in securing 

 specimens, in bloom, of Drosera rotundifolia, Veronica sctitellata, 

 Listera cordata, aud many other plants. 



DiNSDALE, July 13. — The excursion to this favourite place was 

 chiefly remarkable for the discovery of a specimen of Oralis 

 corniculata. This plant, so far as can be ascertained, has not 

 previously been recorded in the district, and this specimen was 

 probably an escape from a garden. 



Uppek Teesdale, August 3-5. — This visit to Upper Teesdale 

 was made to coincide with the visit of the Yorkshii-e Naturalists, to 

 whose Union the Cleveland Field Club is afliliated. The excur- 

 sion proved most enjoyable and successful. It being late in the 

 season, the flora had for the most part passed the flowering stage. 

 The Pctentilla fruticosa, however, was in full bloom on the banks 

 of the river. The Galium boreale, Parnassia palustris and Sa.rifraga 

 aizoides were also noticed. 



EsTON Nab, August 17. — The Party took train to Nunthorpe, 

 and, after proceeding along the Guisbrough road for a short 

 distance, climbed the hillside and crossed the moor to the Nab, 

 after which the walk was extended to Guisbrough. 



Staithes to Eunswick, Sept. 7. — This proved to be one of the 

 most interesting excursions of the season. The original intention of 

 the party was to take the shore route from Staithes to Eunswick Bay, 

 but owing to the state of the tide, it was only possible to do part 

 of the journey by the shore, the clifl's having to be resorted to for 

 the remainder. A few of the bolder spirits of the Party, led by 

 fisher-boys as guides, took the path along the ledges on the cliff 

 side from Staithes, but the others chose firmer and higher 

 ground. 



Dkedging Excursion, October 3. — Through the kindness of 

 the Port Saniiary Authority, a few members of the Club were 

 enabled to do a little dredging on the afternoon of Thursday, 

 October 3, about the Tees Breakwater and ofl' Eedcar, and the
