Fes. 1910.} BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 67 
owing to long waits, first at Barnard Castle, and secondly 
at Tebay Junction. After tea, the three members who 
motored spent some time examining the west bank of the 
river Lune in the neighbourhood of the town, where they 
found the following plants:—Asperula odorata, Cala- 
mintha Clinopodiwm, Mimulus luteus, Origanum vulgare, 
Sedum aere. 
While waiting at Tebay Station, the members coming by 
rail found Arabis hirsuta, Cystopteris fragilis, var. alpina, 
Juncus glaucus, Mimulus luteus, Ranwneulus hederaceus 
(sub form), Scirpus ceespitosus. 
On Thursday, 29th July, the members motored to a 
point on the road to the north-west of Farleton Knott, 
in order to botanise on this hill, which is a well-known 
landmark in the south-east of Westmoreland. The 
members began the ascent from this point, and gradually 
worked their way along the various limestone ridges on 
its summit and on Hutton Roof Crag towards Kirkby 
Lonsdale. The day, though very windy, kept fair until 
about 4 o'clock, when heavy rain came on, making 
botanising most disagreeable and difficult, and rendering 
walking on the limestone most dangerous owing to the 
wet making the surface very slippery. All the well-known 
lime-loving plants known to grow on this hill were found, 
the ferns Lastrea rigida and Scolopendrium vulgare 
being found in great quantity and luxuriance. Large 
clumps of the limestone polypody (Polypodiwm calearewim) 
were seen, also Arahbis hirsuta, Arenaria verna, Arwin 
maculatum, Asperula cynanchica, Calamintha Clino- 
podium, Carlina vulgaris, Circea alpina, Convallaria 
majalis, Epipactis rubiginosa, Geraniwm lucidum, G. 
Robertianum, Hedera Helix, Lactuca muralis, Linaria 
Cymbalaria, Listera ovata, Lastrea rigida, Melica nutans, 
Plantago media, Polygonatum officinale, Polypodium 
caleareum, Polystichum aculeatum, Sanicula europea, 
Saxifraga tridactylites, Scilla nutans, Scolopendrium vul- 
gare, Taxus baccata, Thalictrum flavum, Verbasewm 
Thapsus, Viburnum Opulus. 
On Friday, 30th July, the party having been reduced 
to three, owing to members having to leave for one cause 
or another, motored to Ingleborough in order to visit
