On 4th August the party, together with several members 

 of the Pteridological Society, decided to travel by the 

 narrow-gauge railway towards Lynton in order to visit 

 Woody Bay, which is reached, after leaving the train, by a 

 road passing across about two miles of moor, where, among 

 the heather, were growing large quantities of a dwarf Ulex 

 in fine flower, the colour effect of this and the purple of 

 the heather, Erica cinerea, being most striking. 



At Woody Bay the banks slope down to the sea, a 

 distance of five or six hundred feet at a steep angle, and 

 are well wooded ; hence the name. The scenery, which 

 was most picturesque and wild, was much admired, and the 

 day was very line and warm. Large quantities of Ath yri u m 

 Filix-foemina, Blechnum, Lastrea, and Polystichv/m angu- 

 lare were seen; also Scolop<udrium vulgare in great 

 luxuriance on shady banks and walls. Though no variety 

 of special note was found, a very good undulate variety of 

 Scolopendrium and two plants of Athyrium Filix-foemiTia 

 variety, medio-deficiens were found. The following plants 

 were also found : — 



Hypericum A ndrosaemum, Linn.; Ulex Galli, Planch. ; 

 Ulex minor, Roth.; Critlimuru maritimum, Linn.; Sajn- 

 bucus Ebidus, Linn.
