striking spot, and of much Geological interest, which evidently 
must have formed, at a later Geological epoch, a backwater of 
the Severn Strait; passing over the Bunter pebble beds, by 
omnibus, to Kidderminster, in time for dinner ; immediately 
after which, the Members of the Warwickshire Field Club were

The day was fine and warm, and the excursion a very

The Worcestershire Club mustered in considerable numbers, 
and the party altogether amounted to about thirty. 
It should be added that the district, especially the neighbour-

Botanist and Entomologist : the stag beetle being abundant. 
The following rare plants were observed in the neighbour- 
hood of Kidderminster and Bewdley :—Teesdalia nudicaulis, 
Turritis glabra, Cerastium arvense, Erodium maritimum, Orni- 
thopus perpusillus, Potentilla argentea, Vicia sativa var. angus-

Umbilicus, Sambucus nigra var. laciniata, Viburnum Opulus, 
Lactuca Scariola, Hieracium murorum, Carlina vulgaris, Lamium

Aira precox, Osmunda regalis, Botrychium Lunaria. 
The Hon. Sec. begs to record his thanks to Mr. Roberts, for 
his able account of the Geological feature of the district visited, 
and to which he is mainly indebted for the description above 
given. 
The next meeting was fixed for Ludlow, at the end of June, 
but owing to the meeting of the British Association at Oxford at 
that time, and also at the request of Professor Phillips, who 
wished to attend it, it was postponed until July the 24th. From 
various unforeseen causes, in which continued wet weather may
