SECOND WINTER MEETING. XXXV. 



6. 



May ev'ry ship that commerce sends

 (cf. S. and D. N. and Q. xv., 11).

 the flower looked like a hairy-leaved vetch. 



Two eighteenth-century deeds relating to land in Bingham's 

 Melcombe, which had been presented to the Field Club by 

 Mr. A. W. Marks, of Gray's Inn, W.C.
