THESE lists have been compiled from several note-books and 
are the results of three days excursions on June 20th, 21st 
and 22nd, by a few friends, with one exception active members 
of the Lincolnshire Naturalists’ Union. ‘The starting point in 
each case was the house at Great Cotes. 
June 20th. The party consisted of Miss Lane-Claypon, 
Miss Von Negenborn and myself. The localities were (by 
the kind permission of Lord Yarborough) the Pelham Pillar 
K oods, Croxby Lake, and a very extensive, and now dis- 
: used, chalk-pit at Baraoldtecis: -Beck. The weather was at 
first overcast and clou y, with some rain, subsequently fine 
birds observed were the Kestrel, 
pie, Wood Pigeon, Turtle 
, M g 
Dove, Garden Warbler, Blackcap, Willow Wren, Coot, Water- . 
hen and Duck (undetermined). 
A few common sorts of butterfly and moths were taken, 
but it proved too early for those we were specially in search of, 
and which abound in two or three localities in the high woods. 
These are Argynnis aglata and Melanagria galathea, and another 
Fritillary. After the Common Whites, the Orange-tip was the 
commonest on the wing, also the Small Heath and a Skipper. 
June 21st. The party was made up of Miss Florence 
_ H. Woolward, Miss Lane-Claypon, the Reverends E. Adrian 
_ Woodruffe-Peacock and Alfred Thornley, and myself. The 
ground traversed was the Freshney Bogs in Great Cotes and 
Aylesby. Weather, showery to bright. The birds observed, 
omitting the common species, were the Kestrel, Carrion Crow 
(both old and young), Turtle Dove, Nightingale, Garden 
_ Warbler, Willow Wren, the Common and Lesser Whitethroats, 
the Reed, Sedge and Grasshopper Warblers, Reed Bunting, 
also nest with five eggs, Heron, Wild Duck.
