234 Field Meetings, 1910. 
may be said, it is never exhausted. This district will have to be 
fully explored next season again. 
In the Mycological section Mr. Crossland stated that the best 
finds were three or four specimens of Hydnum auriscalpium on 
decaying cones of Pinus sylvestris. One of the prettiest sights was 
a little forest of Mycena sanguinolenta, with their fibrillose bases 
growing on a rolling fir cone. Another uncommon find was a pair 
of Volvaria parvula growing from the sand in the hill among the 
rabbit burrows. In the same habitat were quantities of Bovista 
cepiformis. Rhizina inflata was seen in plenty in one part of the 
wood, near some charcoal. 
The Seventy-Second Field Meeting was held at STAMFORD, 
September 23rd. The Rev. E. A. Woodruffe-Peacock 
writes :—This was a most successful and enjoyable meeting, 
but too late in the season for Stamford’s best plants, such as 
Spivanthes autumnalis, now I fear extinct, Cavdamine amara, still in 
good plenty, and Tvifolium ochyoleucon, which is seriously threatened 
by the advance of quarries. One of the limestone quarries 
Supplied Solidago vivgaurea, the garden Michaelmas Daisy, or 
cultivated form of Aster tripolium, also Lepidium sativum. Lycium 
was in a hedge. A brickyard gave Reseda luteola. The rifle 
range, where 7. ochroleucon grows so well, which will shortly be 
destroyed, Scabiosa succisa, Senecio evucifolius and Hypericum 
pevfovatum. A quarry in a wood in Rutland over the county 
border, gave Viola hivta, Calamintha clinopodium, Astragalus 
glycyphyllus, Inula coniza, Evigeron acris, Serratula tinctoria, and 
Centaurium umbellatum. The road side in All Saints parish, 
Stamford, gave Hypericum humifusum. The river side Lythrum 
salicaria, Sium evectum, Scirpus lacustris. A disused quarry just 
outside Stamford Calamintha montana. The town walls Parietaria, 
Festuca vigida, and Saxifraga tridactylites, and a hedge foot Solanum 
nigvum. The meeting was continued on the 2gth by Messrs, 
Reobuck and Peacock, and hundreds of soil notes on plants were 
taken in the two days. 
The conchological results were good, and a goodly number of 
additions for Div. 16, S.W., were the result. 
The great abundance of Limnea stagnalis in its former-noted 
habitat was observed and the locality photographed.
