local botanists, one of whom directed us to the place. The 

 plant, though rare, is a native of the north of England, but 

 the specimen observed by us, being in a hedge and near a 

 house, shows that it may have been introduced. 



The Club botanised principally by the banks of the river 

 Lune, and on Middleton Common. On the latter place 

 both Primula farinosa, Linn. ; and Genista tindoria, Linn., 

 were in great abundance. Among the plants observed

At Middleton we got the train to Kirkby-Lonsdale. 

 The day was again very hot, but we were often under the 

 shade of the trees, and always by the bank of the river, and 

 consequently did not feel so exhausted as on the two 

 previous days. 



Friday, 4th August. — The morning was again line and 

 the day very warm. Several of the party went to Ease 

 Gill, about eight or ten miles to the north-east of Kirkby- 

 Lonsdale, and dividing Westmoreland from Lancashire. 

 Among the plants observed may be mentioned — Draha 

 incana, Linn. ; Malva. moschccta, Linn. ; Lysimachia nemorum, 

 Linn. ; Tamils communis, Linn. Others of the members 

 botanised Casterton Woods, on the left bank of the Lune, 

 and observed amongst other plants — Geranium phoium, 

 Linn.; Prumis Padus, Linn., in fruit; Saxifraga tridactylites, 

 Linn. ; Syrnpthytwii officinale, Linn. ; Paris quadrifolia, 

 Linn., two specimens with five leaves ; Bromus giganteus, 

 Linn. 



It is worthy of note that Tamus communis, Linn., was 

 very common in the woods and hedges around Kirkby-
