Resume of Field Meetings. 9 
The seventeenth meeting was held at GRANTHAM, June 
7th, 1898. A visit to Colsterworth and Woodthorpe Manor, the 
birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, was part of the programme. 
EPWORTH, July 14th, was the locality for the eighteenth 
meeting, and a fine ground it turned out tobe. The rarest plants 
were Andromeda polifolia and Alopecurus fulvus. 
The nineteenth meeting was held on August 18th at WOOD- 
HALL and TUMBY Wood. Mr. Preston spoke on the geological 
feature, and a fair day’s work was done in all branches. 
On September 5th joint meetings of the Lincolnshire Societies 
were held at HARTSHOLME Wood, near Lincoln, when, con- 
sidering the lateness of the date, a fair amount of work was done. 
The twenty-first meeting was held at SOMERCOTES and 
SALTFLEETBY on June 8th, 1899. The drive was from Louth, 
and a splendid field day was the result. Little thought the party 
of the dark shadow drawing near. Mr. John Cordeaux, who enter- 
tained the visitors, and gave such a fine account of the bird-life of 
the district, was, two months later, laid to rest in Louth cemetery. 
On June 29th the twenty-second field meeting was held in 
conjunction with the Nottingham Society in the neighbourhood of 
NEWARK. Stapleford wood and moor on the Lincolnshire side 
were very productive. 
The twenty-third meeting was held on August 7th, the 
rendezvous being BOSTON, for Freiston Shore, where the mari- 
time flora and fauna were much in evidence. 
On September 11th, at the invitation of the President 
(Dr. Lowe), a meeting was held at LINCOLN of the County 
Naturalists’ and Scientific Societies. Parties went to Sudbrooke 
and Newball woods, Handley’s pit, &c., whilst those interested 
in archeology visited the Cathedral and other places of 
interest. Tea was served in a large marquee in front of the 
President’s residence. 
The twenty-fifth meeting was held on June 13th, 1900, at 
HORNCASTLE, for Baumber and Sturton woods, bogs and lake. 
The Rev. J. Conway Walter (president) pointed out many objects 
of interest, and exhibited a magnificent collection of natural 
history and antiquarian specimens at his home.
