Mr. Lucas took at Falcon Bridge a large Trichopteron, and also 

 some large Myriapoda of genus Lithobius, apparently of two species. 



The shells, found chiefly near Falcon Bridge by Mr. Lucas and 

 Mr. Adkin, junior, were several species of Zonites, including appa- 

 rently Z. cellarius, Z. glaber, Z. nitidulus, Z,. crvstallinus, and perhaps 

 Z. alliarius. Helix pomatia, H. cisfiersa, H. hortensis, H. cantiana, 

 H. rufescens, H. hispida (probably), //. caperata, H. rotundata, 

 together with var. alba, Biilimus obscun/s, Clausilia rugosa, C. rol- 

 phii, C. laminata, Cochlicopa lubrica, and Cyclostoina elegans. \w 

 some cases dead specimens only were found. 



Flowers in blossom were numerous, and many were interesting ; 

 among the latter may be noted Oplirys apifera (the bee orchis), perhaps 

 the most striking of the orchids that can be said to be common \ Listera 

 ovata (twayblade) ; Reseda liitea (wild mignonette), scentless, unfor- 

 tunately, in a chalk-pit and elsewhere ; Galium cruciatnm (crosswort 

 bedstraw), in chalk-pit ; Valeriana officinalis (great valerian) ; APelani- 

 pyruni pratense (yellow cow-wheat) ; Helianthemuni vulga?-e (common 

 rock-rose), one of the richest tinted of our many yellow flowers ; A?i- 

 thyllis vulneraria (kidney vetch), of which the downy calyces form 

 so striking a feature ; Canpanula trachelium (nettle-leaved bell- 

 flower), not yet fully out ; and C. glonierata (clustered bell-flower). 

 Some of the party said this was a gentian, but it appears as a Cani- 

 tianula in the London Catalogue, 9th edition, 1895.
