Flowering Plants. — Mr. Corbett writes : — The portion of the district which is 
on the Magnesian Limestone, and which includes cultivated fields, woods, and old 
quarries, supports a rich, sub-xerophilous flora, and such species as are included in 
the following list are likely to be met with at this time of the year. — Arabis hirsuta 
Scop., Reseda lutea L., Helianthenium cha?naecistus Mill., Cerastium semidecandium 
L., C. arvense L., Sagina apetala Z., Malva moschaia L., Euonymm eiiropmis Z., 
Trifolitiftt medium Z., T. hybridu?n Z., Anthyllis vulnerayia Z., Astragalus 
danicus Reitz., Geum rivale Z., Rosa viicrantha E?n., Bryonia dioica Jaeg.^ 
Pimpinella mayor Htids., Galium mollugo Z. , Asperula cynanchica Z., Scabiosa 
columbaria Z,, Erigeron acre Z,, Inula conyza D.C.^ Carduus nutans Z., C. 
Crispus Z., and hybrids of these and other species. Picris hieracoides Z., Lactuca 
muralis Frum.^ Campatiula latifolia Z., C. glomerata Z., Blackstonia perfoliata 
Huds.y Gentiana amarella Z., Lithosperfnufn officinale Z., Nepeta cataria Z., 
Orchis pyramidalis Z., Ophrys api^era Htids. 
The low-lying land with its streams ditches, willow-garths and ponds, produces 
an entirely different flora. Here among other things may be gathered — Ranunculus 
circinatus Sheth., Nasttirtium palusire D.C., N. amphibiutn R. Br.^ Geranitim 
pratense Z., Hippuris vulgaris Z., Conium 7naculaimn Z. , Apiiim nodijlorwn 
Ruchb., Enpatorium cannabinum L., Senecio erucifolius Z., Cardtius crispus Z., 
Hottonia palustris Z. , Samolus valerandi Z., Svmphitwn officinale Z., Juncus 
obtusi/lojus Eurl., Typha a^igustifolia Z., Lemna gibba L.^ &c. 
Mosses and Hepatics. — The Yorkshire Byrological Committee will be 
officially represented. 
Mr. W. Ingham, B.A., writes : — Mosses. Near South Elmsall Station, the 
typical sea-side moss, Pottia Heimii^ grows in crevices of the wall, interesting in 
such an inland station. In a quarry near Ardwick-le-Street, Barbula fallax, var., 
brevifolia in fruit (a rare condition) is found, also Pottia truncattda. At Burgh- 
wallis, Eurhynchium ienellum and E, confertinn grow on a hedge bank. This is a 
district for Potiias and Small Tortillas, and a likely place for Tortula cernua, known 
only in one British habitat at Aberford. 
Hepatics. — Lophozia turbinata covers in large flat patches the sides of a large 
ditch at Burghwallis, and the interesting Lophocolea heterophylla, var. laxior grows 
on a hedge bank at the same place. 
Fungi. — The Yorkshire Mycological Committee will be officially represented. 
VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The Vertebrate Section will be officially 
represented by Mr. W. H. Parkin. 
Mammalia. — Mr. Corbett writes : — The common species are abundant, with 
the exception of those that come under the class "Vermin " of the gamekeeper's 
classification. Foxes are frequent in the covers, and Badgers breed in the locality. 
Birds. — Very numerous, but like the mammals, many are persecuted as 
" Vermin." Among the more interesting species likely to be seen are Nightingale, 
Reed Warbler, Turtle Dove, Red Shank, and Little Grebe. 
Reptiles and Amphibia. — I know nothing of these in the immediate district 
to be investigated, but in the Doncaster neighbourhood are to be found, besides 
the common species, Common Lizard, Grass Snake, and Great Crested Newt. 
Mr. Parkin writes that the most interesting birds visiting the district, in 
addition to those mentioned by Mr. Corbett, are : — Little Grebe, Red Legged 
Partridge, Tufted Duck, Shoveller, Grasshopper and Garden Warblers, Blackcap, 
Reed Bunting, and Long-tailed Tit.
