64 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [ Sess, LXxrv. 
REPORT OF SCOTTISH ALPINE BoTANICAL CLUB ExcuUR- 
SION TO TEESDALE AND TO KiRKBY LONSDALE, 1909. 
The Club met at High Force Hotel, Teesdale, on Monday, 
26th July, three of the members making the journey by 
motor; the remainder, travelling by rail, reached Middleton- 
in-Teesdale Station before 2 o’clock p.m. The motor party 
found on the roadside, about ten miles north of High 
Force, Carex curta, C. pulicaris, Saxifraga hypnoides, S. 
stellaris, and Sedum villoswm; and at High Force, in the 
neighbourhood of the hotel, Carex pallescens, C. paludosa, 
C. panicea, C. pulicaris, C. sylvatica, C. vulgaris, and 
Potentilla fruticosa. A visit was made that afternoon to 
Widdy Fell, two to three miles north-west from the hotel, 
where the members were fortunate in finding all the plants 
noted by the Club on this hill on its previous visit several 
years ago. 
The members were much struck by the quantity and 
wide distribution of Kobresia caricina: Primula farinosa 
also seemed to be plentiful everywhere. Caldron Snout 
Waterfall, as well as the fall at High Force, was a very 
fine sight, owing to the heavy rainfall of the previous day. 
The morning of this day was showery, but fortunately the 
afternoon turned out very fine, and the day, a compara- 
tively easy one after the experiences of the members on 
Scottish mountains, was much enjoyed. It may be 
mentioned here for future guidance that the best route to 
reach Widdy Fell is by the first gate leaving the main road 
on the left after passing the Chapel, about two miles north 
of High Force: the path leads, after crossing the bridge 
over Langdon Beck, a tributary of the Tees, past Widdy 
Bank Farm, along the north bank of the Tees, right to the 
Caldron Snout. The following plants were found :— 
Allosorus crispus, Areneria verna, Aspleniwm viride, 
A. trichomanes, A. putamuraria, Bartsia alpina, Beton- 
ica officinalis, Blysmus compressus, Carduus_ hetero- 
phyllus, Carex ampullacea, C. capillaris, C. dioiwa 
(female), C. fulva, C. pallescens, C. panicea, C. pulicaris, 
Comarum palustre, Equisetum variegatum, Galiwm 
boreale, Gentiana verna, Gymnadenia conopsea, Habe-
