Field Notes. 



Considered as a whole, the vegetation of the Askrig-g district 

 is much the same as that found in Upper Wharfedale and on 

 Ingleborough and neighbouring hills ; a similar vegetation 

 extends to the norfh to Upper Teesdale and Weardale. It is 

 very distinct from the Pennines round the Calder with their 

 continuous Cotton Grass moorland on the plateaux, and also 

 quite different from the uniform stretches of close Heather which 

 cover so much of the Clevelands.

SHELLS. 



Helix hortensis MuHer. — I have never met with or heard 

 of this species on the Lincolnshire Limestone north of the 

 Witham. On Tuesday, the 30th of May, Mr. Thomas Stow 

 and I were in Reed's Quarry in Broughton Wood. On Thrush 

 stones in a limited area, along with H. 7ie7noralis, we took 

 about ten H. hortensis vars. alhina and lutea, with one very 

 beautiful lilacificB Taylor. — E. Adrian Woodruffe- Peacock^ 

 3rd June 1905. 



FLOWERING PLANTS. 



Ranunculus sardous Crantz near Louth. — This is a rare 

 species in Lincolnshire except on the estuarine alluvium. A very 

 large specimen was taken in a cornfield on boulder clay north of 

 Louth, at the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union meeting on the 

 ist of June. — E. Adrian Woodruffe Peacock, Cadney, Brigg, 

 Lincolnshire, 3rd June 1905. 



Spergularia rubra near Sheffield. — On Whit-Monday I 

 found this plant in abundance by the side of the footpath 

 between the Norfolk Park and Intake. It also grows in a sandy 

 road between Crookes and Tapton, Sheffield. The three places 

 mentioned are all higher than the 500 feet given as the limit in 

 Lees' 'Flora.' — C. F. Innocent, Sheffield. 



Lincolnshire Plant Notes. — Amongst the plants in flower 

 found by members of the Louth Antiquarian and Naturalist 

 Society, on 6th June, were an exceptionally fine bloom of the 

 Bird's-nest Orchid [Neottia nidus-avis) in a plantation near Ken- 

 wick, a beautiful pink variety of the Bugle [Ajuga reptans) 

 near Maltby Wood, and on the west side of the same wood a 

 cluster of the Slender Yellow Trefoil {Trifoliuni filifornie). — 

 C. S. Carter, Louth.
