conclusions. It is rather remarkat^le that another broomrape — 

 Orobanche ramosa, new to Yorkshire, we beheve, turned up on 

 tomato plants in greenhouses at Thorngumbald, East Riding of 

 Yorkshire, in August 1909, the discoverer being Mr. Hy. Knight, 

 of the Hull Scientihc and Field Naturalists' Club. 



Mr. Wm. Ingham, B.A., one of our most ardent and lynx- 

 eyed observers, again adds a new record to the East Riding 

 Flora, viz., Euphrasia rostkoviana (Eye-bright), from W'arthill. 

 Like the plant students of our seaport towns, Mr. John Cryer, 

 of Bradford, has been having a good time among " aliens " on 

 waste heaps near Bradford. As might be expected, from an inland 

 " woollen " town, Mr. Cryer's list can, or recently could, be 

 duplicated in all but one or two items by the botanists of Hull, 

 the great raw wool port of the East Coast. (See Robinson's 

 Flora, East Riding Yorkshire). 



A plant first discovered near the River Hull by one of your 

 Secretaries many years ago, and closely related to Cardamine 

 pratensis, but quite distinct from the common cuckoo flower, 

 both in its smaller snow-white flowers and in its foliage, has again 

 been submitted to the experts — on this occasion to Dr. F. A. Lees, 

 the author of the " Flora of the West Riding." Dr. Lees, 

 likewise, is indisposed to give. the plant a name. Probably it 

 is a hybrid with C. pratensis, and perhaps C. amara or C. flexuosa ; 

 but the matter is still suh jtidice, and, so far as we can at present 

 see, the form or species or hybrid is quite new to science. 

 The following were elected for 1910 : —

Botanical Survey Committee.— Dr. T. ^^ . Woodhead writes :— 

 Botanical Sur\ey in Yorkshire has been actively continued 

 during the year. The Survey by Dr. \V. G. Smith, which 

 has been in progress for several years in the Cleveland area, is 

 now completed, and we hope the publication of the results will 

 not be long delayed. 



Considerable progress has been made by Mr. \\'. M. Rankin, 

 in his surveys of North-west Yorkshire, and also in Lancashire. 



The sheets of North Derbyshire and South-west Yorkshire, 

 by Dr. C. E. Moss, are being published through the Ordnance 

 Survey Office, and we trust will be issued shorth*. Considerable 

 portions of the Malt on and Scarborough Sheets have been surveyed 

 by Dr. T. W. Woodhead. 



Mr. Frank Elgee has made some interesting detailed surveys 

 of the Cleveland Moors, and the results of his investigations of 

 the " Swiddens " will shortly appear in "The Naturalist." Mr. 

 S. Margerison has published the result of his studies on the 



1910 Jan. I.
