66 Yorkshire Naturalists at Saltburn. 
Oo 
varies very considerably in different districts ; and if thoroughly 
followed up may give some clue to their different races, or to their 
migratory movements, cr whether in certain districts they are 
residents. I cannot conclude without some remarks on the 
glens or ravines in the neighbourhood of Saltburn. With their 
thick undergrowth of vegetation they appear to be ideal places 
for tired over-sea migratory small birds to drop into. The 
ravine would prove interesting to any ornithologist who could 
spend a few days or a few weeks there during the autumnal 
migrations ; although I fear that to be up-to-date he would 
require a gun, in order to distinguish the various local races 
or sub-species that are now in fashion.

FLOWERING PLANTS.—Mr. W. E. L. Wattam reports :—The 
botanists had a truly enjoyable time, for everywhere was a feast 
of floral wealth that could not fail but please. On the coast, 
near the Skinningrove Ironworks, is a fair sized sandbank 
controlled by Ammophila arundinacea and Triticum junceum. 
Near by was found Cakile maritima, Honckenya peploides, 
Senecio viscosus, and Carduus tennuiflorus. The large falls of 
boulder clay were tenanted chiefly with clovers, Plantago 
maritima, Vicia Cracca, and an abundance of Tussilago Farfara, 
in fact some of the more recent falls were dominated by this 
plant, along with Glyceria maritima and G. procumbens. In 
the ravine close by, through which passage was made to the 
cliff tops, is a great jungle growth of hawthorn, hazel, black- 
thorn, wild rose, privet, bramble and furze. Geranium pratense 
made intense blue belts of colour; Gymnadenia conopsea was 
Naturalist.
