Resume of Field Meetings. REL 
CAISTOR was the fixture for the thirty-fifth meeting on 
August 28th. The fish-hatcheries at Hundon was visited; 
Normanby and Pelham Pillar woods were also found prolific 
areas. 
. The thirty-sixth Field day was at CAREBY Wood, Div. 16, 
on the goth June, 1903. The day turned out very wet, and only 
enthusiasts continued working: they were repaid for their faith. 
On a fallen ash tree, lying in the east ditch of the British Camp 
in Careby Wood, Limax cineveo-niger was taken. ‘This species 
has now been recorded for both vice-counties by Mr. J. W. 
Taylor in his Monograph. The curious find of the day was an 
alien. Between Careby Wood and the Monks’ Wood, Carlby, a 
“grass new to the British flora was found. On identification it 
proved to be Festuca maritima, L., which loves a very arid 
limestone soil, like the edge of the Cornbrash “ feathering out” 
on the great Oolitic clay. 
The thirty-seventh Field meeting was at SUTTON-ON-SEA 
and HUTTOFT, Div. 11,0n the 2nd July. Some members madea 
three days’ stay, and much good work was done. Nothing unusually 
good was discovered. The much discussed questions about [vis 
spuria were fully gone into. We may never be able to prove this 
species to be a native, but it grows at Huttoft exactly like one, 
flowering, seeding, and growing from its own seed most 
luxuriantly. 
The thirty-eighth meeting was at CLAXBY Wood, Div. 7, 
on the 31st of July. The ground there has been too well worked 
for forty years for anything very good to turn up; but a soil 
which grows within half a mile, the two Chrysospleniums, Dipsacus 
 pilosus, Veronica montana, Equisetum maximum, with other good 
species, is always worth another visit. 
The thirty-ninth meeting, combined with the annual general 
meeting, was for a visit to the deep bore for the water supply of 
Lincoln. Unluckily the borer was jammed and broken, and the 
machinery was not in working order on the day fixed. The 
explanations given by Mr. H. Preston, and the engineer of the 
works (Mr. J. H. Teague), from the specimens taken from the bore, 
supplemented by the presidential address, on “The Red Rocks 
_ Underlying Lincolnshire,” brought the season’s work to a fitting 
4 conclusion.
