BROUGHTON WOOIS was the venue of the Sixty-second 
Meeting on September 18th, 1908. A large party turned out to 
accompany the Rev. FE. A. Woodruffe-Peacock, over an area So 
well known to him. To give a description now of the district 
would be absurd, after the publication of his paper in the last 
part of our Transactions. 
The dryness of the early part of the month had made 
the ground unprofitable working in some branches ; but those 
present were glad to see Broughton Woods, and to hear its praises 
sung by such a worker as Mr. Peacock. He delighted all by 
leading them to the spot where that exceedingly rare plant 
Selinum Carvifolia grows. 
Collecting was not the order of this day. ‘The season was 
too late, and the area was too large, and had to be traversed too 
quickly for that. Yet all were pleased by their visit to these 
Woods, and hope for better advantages for more detailed study 
another time. 
CoLropTerA. A number of species were taken, the most 
interesting being : — Ptevostichus oblongo-punctatus F., Silpha 
thovacica L.., on the “Stink-horn ” fungus, *Triphyllus punctatus 
F., in putrid fungi, and a specimen of Litodactylus leucogaster 
Marsh. 
Mr. Woodruffe-Peacock writes -—As every plant seen at this 
meeting has been recorded over and over again for Broughton, 
and nothing new can be written about them, I propose to strike 
out a new line, and to givea Rock-Soil list of the Selinum Carvifolia 
Ret inti ale A 2 ie ee
