Cinquefoil, and tga swisiploving plants. In the woods Viola 
irta was commo rowing among the rubble of deserted quarries 
a foxglove-like biennial not yet showing bloom, puzzled the party 
for a while, until Rev. W. Fowler pronounced it to be Jzuda conyza. 
Another plant which, despite its specific name, does not often come 
under the ken of West Riding botanists was Avthriscus vulgaris, 
a small colony of which was found by Mr. Beanland on a railway 
embankment. This umbellifer, well marked by its fruit, rough 
with hooked bristles and tapering into a glabrous beak, has, as 
Mr. Bentham observes, the habit rather of Cawcalis than Anthriscus. 
It was seen by several of us for the first time. The rich, deep soil 
of Pomfret, so famous for its orchards and liquorice-gardens, which 
are nourished by crumbling cliffs of magnesian limestone, could not 
fail to produce a good number of plants; although in times now 
past, when the population was smaller and the atmosphere less 
tainted with smoke from the coal-pits, fhe list would have been 
larger. The more uncommon species were: 
Berberis vulgaris. Ligustrum vulgare. 
Nasturtium palustre. Campanula latifolia. 
Reseda lutea. Hottonia palustris. 
R. luteola. Lysimachia nummularia. 
Cerastium arvense. Linaria cymbalaria. 
Helianthemum vulgare. Veronica scutellata. 
Viola hirta. Utricularia neglecta. 
Rhamnus catharticus. Origanum vulgar 
cer campestre Calamintha clinopodium. 
Anthyllis sdlnanicie Ballota nigra. 
Cornus sanguinea. Plantago media. 
Bryonia dioica, Humulus lupulus. 
Smyrnium olusatrum. Urtica urens. 
Daucus carota. Parietaria officinalis. 
Anthriscus vulgaris. Tamus communis. 
Inula conyza. Typha.latifolia. 
Tanacetum vulgare. Scirpus lacustris. 
Carlina vulgaris. Bromus er 
Centaurea scabiosa. Ophioglossum vuipatom, 
It should be mentioned that Bromus erectus, which is by no means 
a common grass, flourishes here in great abundance. It was just 
coming into bloom, and its tasselled plumes adorned every dry 
bank 
For the Entomological Section the active collecting work was 
done by the Ackworth boys, and we are indebted to Mr. Joseph 
Naturalist,
