The members of the Union who attend the Hebden Bridge 

 Excursion this month will have an opportunity of examining 

 this very ordinary w'ood. They will, however, see it at a slight 

 disadvantage on account of last year's fall of timber, and con- 

 sequent disturbing of the normal condition of the ground. 



FLOWERING PLANTS. 



Carum segetum in North-west Lincolnshire. — Going to 

 Howsham on the 3rd of x\pril, I noticed with pleasure several 

 plants of Cariim segetum in its old locality on the boulder clay 

 bank just as you enter the village. I feared, as there was only 

 one plant last season, we were going to lose it. As I returned 

 home I found another locality for this species a mile away on 

 the same rock-soil. It is only my second in 13 years. — E. 

 Adrian Woodruffe Peacock, Cadney, Brigg, 7th April 1904. 



Cardamine Amara, Linn., in Lincolnshire. — ^This species, 

 which is recorded for every county and vice-county surrounding 

 Lincolnshire, and for Rutland (Miss H. A. TroUope) as well as 

 for Leicestershire, has at last turned up again on river gravel 

 and freshwater alluvium with us. Miss J. Maud Tryon, writing- 

 nth May 1904, from The Lodge, Oakham, with specimens, 

 says — 'I found it in Lincolnshire this afternoon just above 

 Newstead Mill. There is a good deal of it, but it is not yet 

 quite in flower. It does not grow in the mill stream, but in the 

 two backwaters.' Newstead Mill is between Stamford and 

 Uffington, well in the county of Lincoln. This is not the late 

 G. W. Browning's, 1838, locality. It was 'at Stamford, by the 

 side of the Willand, near the waterfall.' — E. A. Woodruffe 

 Peacock, Cadney, Brigg.
