On the 8th of June, the Members of the Haley Hill Literary and 

 Scientific Society had an Excursion to the Craven district; the party 

 started from Halifax at 8-28 a.m., for Bradford, and thence by the 

 Midland Railway to Bell Busk, where Ave arrived a little after 11 o'clock, 

 and at once started on our way to IMalham. 



The walk through the fields was most delightful, and we were

 marigold, together with a host of others more commonly met with. 



Arriving at Kirby Malham, we called at the Inn for refreshment ; 

 the sky previously so clear and promising, became overcast, and large 

 drops of rain foretold a heavy shower. Many hopes Avere expressed that 

 it Avould be of short dm-ation, and although the roads were fast becoming 

 wet and slopjoy, our ardour Avas not damped, and after an hour's good 

 walking Ave Avere comfortably seated under the overhanging rocks of 

 Malham Cove. A short rest and a unanimous appeal to the " fragrant 

 weed" for consolation, and Ave commenced to explore the vicinity ; amongst 

 others Ave obtained : — Paris quadri folia — Herb paris. Geum rivale — 

 Water Avens. Orchis Maculata — Spotted Orchis, Pinguicula vulgaris —
