316 Field Meetings 1908. 
presented to the County collection at Lincoln. ‘This meeting 
was a most pleasant one both to Naturalist and Archeologist. 
It was on a fine estate, with some exceedingly good trees in the 
park, and a splendid herd of deer. Haverholme priory is repre- 
sented by some remains still on the site of the old Ecclesiastical 
edifice. 
Botany :—There were but few interesting plants observed at 
this meeting. No less than 230 notes of species and varieties 
were made, but of these only two are worthy of mention here. 
At Haverholme C2nanthe fluviatilis was conspicuous. It has 
never been recorded out of Divisions 14, 16, and 17. A very 
curious new variety turned up too, Pulicaria dysenterica glabrata. 
For such good ground the flora was a singularly poor selection, 
probably on account of the recent flooding of the area. The Rev. 
W. W. Mason, took the list of plants. 
The Sixty-first Field Meeting was held at ALIORD, for 
working Well Vale, a most interesting district to the Naturalist. 
A large quarry in the chalk was visited, and from being over 
grown with the plants that love such an habitat, the botanists 
spent some little time in noting many interesting finds. 
From the steep side of the quarry, on such a fine day the 
view of the distance was greatly appreciated. It gave anexcellent 
opportunity for seeing the contour of the surrounding country, 
and its geological formation and history. 
Just before entering the Vale, a specimen of the “ Painted 
Lady ” butterfly was seen, with more common species. 
The most diligent workers perhaps were the Conchologists. 
Dr. W. Wallace, too, was anxious to obtain certain Coleoptera. 
‘Their records were not so abundant as those of the Rev. W. W. 
Mason who noted the Flora, but some interesting finds were 
made. 
A fine colony of Limax avborum, var. nemorosa was found, and 
a variety of Limax maximus still to be described. 
At the meeting after tea it was decided that the Union 
become affiliated with the British Association.
