THE LINCOLNSHIRE NATURALISTS’ UNION 
AT HOLBECK, SOMERSBY, AND TETFORD. 
Rev. E, ADRIAN WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK, L.Th., F.L.S., F.G.S., 
Vicar of Cadney, Brigg ; General and Botanical Secretary Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union. 
On Monday, August the rst, the members of the Lincolnshire 
Naturalists’ Union, to the number of about 4o, held their fourteenth 
field meeting at Holbeck, Somersby, and Tetford, in Diy. 10, under 
the able guidance of the Rev. J. Conway Walter. 
When the Louth Antiquarian and Naturalists’ Society learned 
that the meeting was to be held at a place so convenient of access 
for Louth people, they resolved to join in, and a party of 29, headed 
by the hon. secretaries (Mr. B. Crow and Mr. R. W. Goulding, of 
Louth), set out from the Museum about 9.15 a.m., reaching Holbeck 
at noon. 
Visitors from other parts of the county included the Rev. F. S.. 
Alston, of West Ashby; Mr. F. M. Burton, F.LS. F.G.S., of 
Gainsborough ; Mr. J. Eardley Mason, Mr. A. Fieldsend, Mr. G. A. 
Grierson, F.L.S., and Mr. J. S. Sneath, of Lincoln; Mr. and Miss 
Stow, of Brandon; Rev. W. H. Daubney, of Leasingham ; Rev. 
H. A. Barker, of Wrangle ; Rev. Stafford Bateman, Yarborough ; 
and Rey. F. Freshney, Withcall. 
Owing to the inconvenience of trains to Horncastle, many more 
Were prevented attending, and had it not been for the fact of its 
being Bank Holiday, all coming via Horncastle would have had to 
return for the 6.9 p.m. train, which would have virtually prevented 
fieeticescicd logical, etc.—searching the woods, 
, geological, etc. bec 
and bogs about the three very pretty lakes — 
climbing Hoe Hill.
