GENERAL SECRETARY S REPORT. 
The Seventy-third Field Meeting of the Union was held 
on Whit-Monday, June 5th, rgI!t. The area of investigation 
was LYNWODE WARREN and WOODS, a favour- 
able spot to Lincolnshire Naturalists. There was a large 
attendance of Members who worked most industriously not- 
withstanding the great heat of the day. 
After tea a meeting was held at the Gordon Arms, when 
the Rev. E. A. Woodruffe-Peacock described the geological 
features and the effect on the vegetation, etc. The Rev. Canon 
W. Fowler spoke of the Botany, referring to many rare species 
now becoming still more scarce on an area that he had known 
many years, and while there were no fresh records it was 
pleasant to renew acquaintance with old favourites. The 
members present welcomed the Canon back to Lincolnshire 
on his well-deserved retirement, little thinking it was the last 
time he would meet so many of the members of our Union. 
Mr. G. W. Mason reports :— 
The Lepidopterists had a good day on the whole, more 
than 50 species being observed by the different members. It 
was somewhat disappointing not to be able to find Carteroce- 
phalus palemon, which at one time occurred abundantly ; but the 
two Fritillavies, Argynnis selene, and euphrosyne, were seen, the 
latter very freely. Among the Macro-Lepidoptera, the most note- 
worthy were Nisoniades tages, Syvichthus malve, Macroglossa fuct- 
formis, Nola confusalis, Spilosoma mendica (1 female), Evastria 
fasciana, H: eliaca tenebvata, Euclidia mi, Phytometva vividaria, Zonosoma 
pendularia, Bapta temerata, Numevia pulveraria (2 females), 
Enpithecia nanata, Lobophova haltevata, Hypsipetes tvifasciata (one), 
Melanthia albicillata and Melanippe hastata (several) ; the Micros 
observed were Scoparia ambigualis, Crambus pratellus, Tortrix 
ministvana, Sericoris urticana, Bactva lanceolana, Ephippiphora pflugiana 
and brunnichiana, Glyphipteryx fuscoviridella, and two or three 
species not yet determined. Some larvae were also seen, but 
only of very common species which have been frequently 
recorded for that district.
