2/0 Field Notes. 



I went across to the island at once, and found the bird quite 

 dead, but warm. I could find no trace of cuts or blood. — 

 H. B. TuRNEY, Ulverston. 



FLOWERING PLANTS. 



Euphrasia Rostkoviana Hayne — a new Yorkshire Eye = 

 bright. — On September loth, 1908, I found this rare Eyebright 

 near Warthill Station in v.c. 62. It is an addition to the 

 flowering plants of Yorkshire. Its census number for Great 

 Britain is 35 out of 112, and therefore it is a decidedty rare 

 plant. It is very tall compared with the other BritishEyebrights 

 and grows scattered over waste ground. — Wm. Ingham, B.A., 

 14th May, 1909.

 MOSSES. 



Tortula cernua Lindb. — A Second Yorkshire and also 

 British habitat. — On page i of ' The Naturalist ' for 1901 

 is an account of the discovery of this new moss to the British 

 Flora near Aberford. On May ist, 1909, Mr. T. C. Thrupp of 

 Doncaster sent me a specimen which he found by the side of 

 the River Don, between Doncaster and Conisborough, in v.c. 63, 

 and it proved to be Tortida cernua, and in good condition. 

 From Mr. Thrupp's account it seems to be better established 

 near Doncaster than at Aberford, where I understand it is 

 scarce. — Wm. Ingnam, B.A., 14th May, 1909.

 GEOLOGY. 



Mammoth's Tusk at Robin Hood's Bay. — At a recent 

 meeting of the Scarborough Field Naturalists' Society, there 

 was exhibited a part of a Mammoth's tusk about eighteen 

 inches in length, found in the boulder clay in the neighbourhood 

 of Robin Hood's Bay. It had evidently had a good deal of 

 hard wear as a ' boulder.' — D. W. Bevan, Scarborough, May 

 23rd, 1909.

 NEUROPTERA. 

 Libellula fulva Mull. Re = discovered in its Old 

 Station near Askern. — On Whit Monday, May 31st, I took 

 a freshly emerged Dragon-fly at Shirley Pool, near Askern. 

 Not knowing the species, I sent it to Mr. Porritt, who identified 

 it as L. fiilva. Mr. S. L. Mosley recorded the species from near 

 Askern in 1888, but from that time to the present it has been 

 lost as a Yorkshire insect. — H. H. Corbett, Doncaster, June 

 1909.
