Iris, Poiaiiiogvton iiatmis, etc. Bui the associations ol plants in 

 these ponds seeined to vary considerahly. On marshy ^rounel 

 the followingwere found :-- Anagallis /cin'/la, Piiiguiciila vn/i^aris, 

 Pcdiciilaris paliistris (some specimens with pure white flowers), 

 Eriophonini latifolinm, Jiinciis cffustts, and /. glaiiciis. 



The slopes of Primrose Vallev bear a particularly interestint;- 

 association of plants, quite the like oi which we (\o not know of 

 elsewhere in the East Riding". 



It includes the following' i-TYoA/ liirta, I'. Riviniui, Po/ygd/a 

 sp. ? Geranium saiigiiiiieiini, Ulex eiiropteiis, Genisia iinetoria, 

 Lathyrus Dionfaiiiis, Spinea Filipeiidii/a, Poterium saiiguisorba, 

 Rosa spinosissinia, Serrainla iinefpria, Carliiia vulgaris, and 

 S/aehys Betoniea (every plant infested with the characteristic 

 brown micro-fung'us). Of these, the GeraiiiuDi, Spircca, Posti, 

 and S/ae/iys were certainly dominant and about equally so. 



Several bryologists attended this excursion, and devoted 

 their attention to the cliffs south of Filey, and entirely in the 

 East Riding-. 



Mr. W. Ingham reports :-— The Sp/iagf/a or bog- mosses 

 appear to be entirely absent from these boulder clay cliffs, as 

 none were seen. Of other mosses a g;ood number was noted, 

 all being- on the top of the cliffs in damp and shady places, none 

 being seen on the vertical faces. The mosses noted on three 

 miles of cliffs southward are : — Pisside/is taxifoliiis Hedw. ,
