Kin 1893, in the Junior Department a very good collection 
) of flowers was made by L. Braddell, who obtained 121 
specimens. T. Hodson and C. Noel also did good 
work. Among noticeable or rare flowers were Galanthus 
Nivalis, Convallaria Majalis, Polygonatum Officinale, 
Hessez Atropa Belladonna, Neottia Nidus-avis, Nuphar Lutea, 
Sagittaria Sagittifolia. 
In 1894 the records were not so good as in the preceding year, 
but this was due to the absence until the end of May of the ‘recorder.’ 
T. Hodson was first with 87 records, and L. Braddell and C. Noel 
were second and third. Hyoscyamus Niger, Orobanche Minor, 
Borago Officinalis, Gymnadenia Odoratissima and Herminium Mon- 
orchis were among flowers found. The last named rare Orchid is 
fairly abundant on Leckhampton. 
In 1893 H. Glenny obtained the prize for a record of 25 species 
of birds’ eggs, including those of the lesser-spotted woodpecker, 
nuthatch, creeper, and goldfinch. The last is now very rare in the 
neighbourhood of Cheltenham. 
C. G. Seymour obtained the prize in 1894 with 22 specimens, and 
L. Fort was second with 17. The chief event was the finding of a 
kingfisher’s nest at Charlton Kings by the above-mentioned members.
