It is an unusual pleasure on an excursion to record the capture 
of spiders, but on this occasion Mr. E. Howarth, F.R.A.S., states 
that Mr. Thos. Dobb and himself collected what spiders were to 
be found, but owing to the misfortune that they had only one bottle 
in which to put their specimens there was a large mortality amongst 
them, and many of them were past recognition. He has identified 
and preserved the following species:—Lycosa saccata, Clubiona 
accentuata, Thomisus cristatus, Linyphia triangularis, L. pratensis, 
LEpeira scalaris, E.. lutea, and £. inclinata. © 
Mr. J. A. Erskine Stuart, one of the Hon. Secretaries of the 
Botanical Section, and its only officer present, writes :—The results 
of this excursion, as far as regarded Phanerogamic Botany, were 
much above the average for September excursions, owing to the 
season being quite three weeks later than usual. In Edlington 
Wood Aguilegia vulgaris, Rhamnus frangula, R. catharticus, Lysi- 
machia nummularia, Viola reichenbachiana and Erythrea centaurium 
were gathered. Very little seemed to be about, so Mr. Waterfall and 
himself made for Levet Hagg, on the Don, and traced the river up to 
Conisborough Castle. In a quarry (limestone) at Warmsworth they 
gathered /nula conyza, Erigeron acre, Verbascum thapsus, Daucus 
carota, Viola hirta, and Centaurea scabiosa. By the river-side 
Saponaria officinalis, Cerastium aquaticum, Sagittaria sagittifolia, and 
Potomageton pectinatus. By the Warmswo rth Crags they secured 
entiana amarella, Daphne laureola, Hypericum montanum, and | 
Reseda luteola. In the grounds of Conisborough Castle Helleborus 
viridis was in abundance, while on the Castle walls /arze/arta 
Officinalis was plentiful. Besides these, Rudus saxatilis was found on 
the roadside near Warmsworth, and Anthyllis vulneraria, Galium 
mollugo, and Solidago virgaurea were collected. any of the plants

ably added to since his death in 1815. His list of plants for the 
neighbourhood of Sheffield contains nearly all the finds of Sept. 17th,
