 up on the chalky wold, and in the thickets of the hollows Reseda 

 lutea, Bryonia dioica, Scabiosa columbaria, Inula conyza, Carduus 

 eriophorus, Cichoriuni, Erigeron acris, Campanula glomerata, Chlora, 

 Ligustrum, Geniiana A/narella, Verbena, Salvia verbenaca, Calamintha 

 dinopodium, Ophrys apifera, Gymnadenia, Spiranthes autumnalis, 

 Bromus arvensis, Avena pubescens, and Hordeum sylvaticutn (?) are on 

 record ; whilst on the sandy moors, in the fir woods, and low marshy 

 ground by the Market Weighton Canal, to the west and south of the 

 town, the following species are known to have been found : Hypericum 

 humifusum, Saponaria, Silene anglica, Rosa mollis, Pulicaria dysen- 

 terica, Chrysanthemum segetum, Jasione montatia, Pijnpinella saxifraga, 

 Menyaftthes, Parnassia, Pedicularis palustris, Anagaliis tenella, Nepeta 

 mtciria, Orchis incarjiata, and Carex pallescens. 



Some localities, sandy commons and fir woods, were said in the 

 former circular to yield good cryptogams, the aduncoid Hyp7ii, 

 Cryphcea, and Iceland Moss (Cetraria) being named ; but the report 

 of the meeting enumerated nothing rarer than Plagioihecium undula- 

 tum as having been actually gathered. 



The neighbourhood will undoubtedly (a little later) produce a 

 rich harvest of the larger Agarics. On this occasion, perhaps, it will 

 be most useful for botanologists to keep a special look out for certain 

 species of Phanerogams as yet ?/;^recorded for this part of East York- 

 shire, but some of which, perhaps several, are almost certain to occur. 

 These are : in sandy arable land. Euphorbia platyphylla, Rhinanthus 

 major, and Galeopsis ochroleuca ; in chalky pasture turf, Spinea filipen- 

 dula, Carduus acaulis, Linum perenfie ; in calcareous corn-fields, 

 Galijini tricorne, Linaria elatijie, Ajitirrhinum orontiuni ; in sandy 

 tuif, Dianthus deltoides and Potentilla argentea ; in chalky lanes, 

 Clematis, Rosa rubiginosa, and Cyuoglossum officitiale ; in sandy places, 

 Turritis glabra, Linaria repens, and Arctium 7najus ; and in peat, 

 Scutellaria minor, Aira uliginosa, and Lycopodium inundatuni. A few 

 of these may be confidently exj^ected to reward searchers who do not 

 attempt to cover too much ground : a limited area, well gone over, 

 always yields the best results to the botanist, whether phanero- or 

 cryptogamic. 



Entomology. 



The neighbourhood of Market Weighton is not at present favoured 

 by students in this brancii of natural history, consequently the dis- 

 trict will present a good field for original workers. The Rev. F. O. 

 Morris, li.A., of Nunburnholme, states that he once took Pyrausta 

 punicealis at Drewton, Market Weighton, and that Satyrus Semele has 

 also been taken near there. 



Conchology. 



Mr. J. Darker Butterell gives the following list: 6". corneum, Bub- 

 witli and Breighton ; Unio tumidus and U. pictorum. Market Weigh- 

 ton canal, between New[)ort and Cliff; Bythinia tentaculata, Londes- 

 borough and Brt'igliton ; D. leacJiii, Bubwith ; Planorbis albus, Lon-
