their combined work being that they then had records within 
the county of 1065 species of flowering plants, ferns, lycopods, 
and horse-tails, out of 1665 forms enumerated as species in the 
seventh edition of the “ London Catalogue of British Plants.” 
With such information, or prospects of it, the authors have 
commenced their work, of which a specimen page, beautifully 
printed, was exhibited to the Club. 
FIRST FIELD MEETING. 
The first Field Meeting for the season took place on Tuesday, 
21st of May, when the Club visited the romantic district of 
Knightsford Bridge, on the Teme, a district described in their 
programme as ‘a country rich in picturesque scenery and 
historic lore, and full of interest to the botanist and geologist.” 
The Rey. W. S. Symonps, of Pendock, met the Club at 
Worcester, and acted as guide throughout the day. 
The Knightwich Station is between Worcester and Brom- 
yard, and only distant about half a mile from the hamlet of 
Knightsford Bridge. Immediately opposite the Station is a 
very remarkable section of faulted Keuper rocks, and New 
Red Sandstone, interstratified with'fragments of angular stones, 
forming a “breccia,” which Geologists believe to have been 
derived from the Rosemary rock close by, when it formed a 
beach line to the Lower Keuper Sea. A little westward of the 
Station the Lower New Red Sandstones are seen resting 
unconformably against an old shore line of upheaved Upper 
Silurians, which belong to that elevated area which strikes 
southwards aboye the New Red vale to the Malverns, and 
northwards to Abberley, When examining the nearly vertical 
Silurian masses, the Geologists, observed a dome of, apparently, 
Aymestry Limestone, which throws off the beds, around the 
centre of. elevation. ._The Upper Ludlow. Shales, Downton 
Sandstone, and Passage Rocks of the Ledbury. section were
