Yorkshire Naturalists at Settle. 261 
FLOWERING PLAnts.—Mr. J. Hartshorn writes :—Some 
species, as the Bog-Bean, were not as conspicuous as they 
will be later when the season is more advanced, and in this 
respect the time of flowering of Thlaspi alpestre, seen in pas- 
tures near the “ Celtic Wall,’ may be noted. Here the plants 
were only coming into bloom whereas on Wensleydale the var. 
occitanum was in bloom this year in April roth. Confirming 
the record in the ‘ Flora Cravoniensis,’ Cardamine impatiens 
and Andromeda polifolia were found, the latter in two stations. 
In one of these there were Lily of the Valley, Herb Paris, 
Solomon’s Seal and the Horse-shoe Vetch, with Alliwm vineale 
near, by the roadside. 
Other interesting species seen were :— 
Columbine. Utricularia vulgaris. 
Trollius europaeus. U. minor. 
Dyvaba tincana. Polygonum viparum. 
Avenaria verna. Myrica gale. 
Silene maritima. Sparganium natans. 
Viola lutea. Shoenus nigricans. 
Mares-tail. Melica nutans. 
Sundew. Sesleria caerulea, 
Melancholy Thistle. Juniper, plentiful in ‘ Juniper 
Primula favinosa. Valley.’ 
The Ferns noticed were :— 
Hayscented Mountain Fern. Beech Fern. 
Bladder Fern. Moonwort 
Green-Stemmed Spleenwort. Adders-tongue. 
Black Stemmed Spleenwort. 
GroLocy.—Mr. John Holmes writes :—On Saturday, the 
geologists walked from Settle to Giggleswick Scars along the 
line traversed by the southern branch of the Craven Fault. 
Here, on the right, the Great Scar Limestone rises to a height 
of several hundred feet, while below, on the left, are Millstone 
Grits. The Ebbing and Flowing Well was visited, but owing 
to the drought the ‘ ebb and flow’ had ceased. 
At the foot of Buckhaw Brow the party crossed the road 
to examine the shales and grits on the downthrow side of the 
fault. No fossils were found, but lithologically the beds 
resemble the Kinderscout Grits. 
On the way to Smearside the limestone pavement on the 
top of the scars was examined. This area has been glaciated, 
but, with the exception of a few isolated Silurian boulders, 
little drift material remains. After visiting the supposed 
Celtic Wall, the party left the scars by a ‘dry valley,’ near 
Stackhouse, and returned to headquarters. 
On the following day, a small party of geologists joined the 
botanists who were investigating the flora of the Pre-Carbon- 
iferous Rocks of the district. The full length of the Crummock 
valley was explored, and its geological structure explained 
by the leaders.
