E. McLachlan, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair, and six members 
present. 
Primula scotica. — Mr. Wilson exhibited a pot containing some 
seedling plants, in blossom, of this North British species, which 
is found in pastures in Orkney, Caithness, and Sutherland. The 
flowers are homomorphic, not having the stamens and jpistils 
of different length as in most other Primulas. 
Bound-leaved Beech. — Mr. Jackman exhibited small trees of 
Fagus sylvatica, with the leaves small, entire, and round. As 
the trees exhibited an erect form, with short branches, it would 
seem to be the result of some check to growth, the form of the 
leaf representing a less developed state than in the ordinary type 
of the tree. 
Prehistoric Hazel. — Mr. CoUenette of Guernsey forwarded 
some Hazel wood found in the peat near the coast of Guernsey. 
The same peat contains flint implements, stone rings, and
