Ingleborough Hill was rather disappointing from a 

 botanist's point of view. Among the plants collected 

 may be mentioned : — Arenaria verna, Linn. ; Saxifraga 

 oppositifolia, Linn. ; aS'. aizoides, Linn. ; S. hypnoides, Linn. : 

 Sedum Rhodiola, DC. ; Gryptogramma crisjm, Br. ; Lyco- 

 podinm davatum, Linn. ; L. cdpinum, Linn. ; L. Sclayo, 

 Linn. : Sclaginella selaginoides. Gray ; and the rare moss, 

 Orthothecium intricahun, Hartm. This moss was gathered 

 by Mr. Stabler. 



The hill known as the White Scars is of a very peculiar 

 formation of limestone, the stone lying in wavy beds, and 

 forming deep fissures, in which many good plants were 

 found. As seen from a distance it looks a most barren 

 region, as little vegetation is visible above the tops of 

 these deep fissures. In these fissures, however, many 

 good plants were observed, including — Thalictrum, two 

 species or varieties were observed, but as none of them 

 were in flower, the species could not be accurately 

 determined, but probably both were varieties of T. minus, 

 Linu. ; Anemone nemorosa, Linn. ; Aetaxc sincata, Linn, 

 (beautiful specimens on the north part of the Scars) ;

With one or two rare exceptions these plants were 

 found growing in the deep fissures of this remarkable 

 limestone hill. Both parties met in the afternoon at
