The members of the section feel, there is a very wide field of 
observation before them, embracing, as it does, an extended sea 
beach, a pastoral and well-wooded country, backed by the gentle 
hills and high mountains of West Cumberland, and affording an 
infinite variety of soil and situation for the growth of plants. 
At the close of the next season, they hope to be able to add 
another contribution of dried specimens of plants, at least equal to 
that made on the present occasion.
