The Second Field Meeting of the Season was held at 

 the Northumberland Lakes on the 19th of June, 1902, but

 Honorary Secretaries for an account of the day's proceed-

 weather for several days previous, the attendance was small. 

 Fortunately for those who assembled the day turned out 

 delightfully fine. Alighting at Bardon Mill, the members 

 proceeded leisurely towards Crag Lough. On the way many 

 interesting plants were noticed by the botanists. 



On reaching Crag Lough a considerable time was spent in 

 studying its flora and fauna. The only birds observed here 

 were one or two Mallards, a Waterhen, and a pair of Dunlins. 

 Oak, Beech, and Parsley Ferns were abundant on the rocky 

 lake side. Crag Lough is the most picturesque of all these 

 little lakes or tarns. On the south side of the Lough, the 

 High Shields Crags, consisting of intrusive basalt, give a 

 sombre grandeur to the place, and the trees — pines principally — 

 growing from the fissures of the rocks add still further to its 

 gharms,
