10 WAIVIN MEWSIC 



(Polemonium CoBruleam *) in full bloom. This is a beautiful flower and 

 somewhat rare. Its range of growth is said to be from Derbyshire to the 

 south of Scotland, and it was first found at Malham Cove by Dr. 

 Martin Lister. The following plants were noticed near the same place : — 

 the Globe flower (Trollius Europoeus), the musky stork's bill (Erodium 

 Moschatum), Wild Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum), the Tuberous Moschatell 

 (Adosca Moschatellina), and the mealy primrose (Primula Farinosa). As 

 soon as this last flower is fully expanded, its color begins to fade, unless it 

 grows in a very shady situation. Specimens of every hue may be found 

 fi-om the deep Primula to red and almost white. Common Butterwort 

 (Pinguicula Vulgaris) is abundant on the wet moors above Malham. 

 One mile east of the Cove is the rocky cleft of Gordale, admitting the pas- 

 sage of a stream over its shelving rocks, and forming a scene of remarkable 

 beauty and grandeur Following the course of Gordale Beck through the 

 fields and crossing the road, we come to Jennett's Cave, situated in a deep 

 and rocky glen, wliich is perhaps one of the most picturesque spots in 

 Malham Dale. The varied character of its romantic scenery has no doubt 

 associated its name with the ideas of Fairy-land, and the cave is still pointed 

 out where the Fairy Queen presided over the nymphs whose dance and 

 revelry have long ceased. The only sounds now to be heard are from 

 the rooks and the murmuring stream. A few hours carefid search in this 

 lonely dell will well reward the labours of the botanist.

 West Riding.

^iiivitt W^mu, 



Ther's mewsic i' th' shuttle, i' th' loom, an' i' th' frame, 



Ther's melody mingled i' th' noise. 



For th' active ther's praises, for th' idle ther's blame. 



If they'd hearken to th' saand of its voice ; 



An' when flagging a bit, how refreshing to feel, 



As you pause an' look raand on the throng, 



'J his plant has been found sparingly in Shibden during the present year by one 

 ol our members, Mr. James Whiteley, of bhibden Head.
