Third Field Meeting, Holy Island, 26th June. 

 For the third outing it was originally intended to hold a 

 three days' meeting from June 25th to 28th at St. Bees, but as 

 no members could be sure of being able to attend, it was 

 decided to change it to a day-meeting at Holy Island. 

 Unfortunately I was unable to attend. The weather was 

 most unfavourable, heavy rain falling all day. 



My best thanks are due to Messrs. R. Cooke and I. Clarke 

 for supplying me with interesting lists of plants and birds 

 respectively.
