affinis was taken and a few Diptera and Hymenoptera. 
The fiftieth Field meeting was held at DONINGTON-ON- 
BAIN, on June 28th. ‘The sandy soil of the district yeilded some 
120 species of plants, which is rather under the average day’s 
records. The best were A¢gopodium, near house, Aira praecox, 
Arenaria serpyllifolia, Bartsia Odontites, Carduus crispus, only 
on clay Carex disticha, Carex hivta, Cevastium arvense, in 
pastures as well as on the railway embankment, Certophyllum 
submersum, Digitalis, clearly an escape. LEpilobium obscurum, 
Filago germanica, Galium uliginosum, in all damp spots ; 
. Hydrocotyle, Chelidonium majus, Listera Ovata, was the only 
_ orchidaceous plant seen on the Tealby Clay. Lycopsis arvensis 
was rare, Ornithopus purpusillus was the characteristic species of 
_ the Spilsby Sandstone mixed with Claxby Ironstone. Polygonum 
amphibium and Potamogeton crispus were in masses on Benniworth 
Haven, and Rosa urbica made the hedgerows lovely. Scabiosa 
arvensis, was hardly in flower, Scilla nutans was big with seed in 
the shady wood, Scleranthus annius was unusually rare for so sandy 
a soil, Senecio sylvaticus was in much evidence at times, Sherardia 
rare. Sonchus crispus was hardly in flower, Stellavia uliginosa on 
Fresh water alluvium in seed. 
A Geological visit to the Louth district is always a great 
attraction. Whether the object of that visit be to study the 
‘divisions of the Chalk rock; the fine sections of Boulder Clays ; 
or the physical effects of the Glacial Period; all alike, contain 
problems of unique interest to the Geological Student. 
Our visit to this district on this occasion was mainly to study 
‘the Lower Cretaceous or Neocomian Rocks of Lincolnshire, and 
the railway authorities had not only kindly consented to our 
Visiting the classical cutting in the Neocomians at Benniworth 
Haven, but had also sent workmen to open out the section 
and to assist the members in their search for fossils. A new 
County Museum having been opened at Lincoln, it was desired to
