ful to the Rev. J. H. Vine Hall, a non-member, for taking over the 
leadershi]) on St Bees Head and at Nethertown. Fourteen guests were 
also present at different times, five of them later joining the Society. 
This excursion was arranged with the purpo.se of assisting in work 
on a new Flora of Cumberland by visiting areas which had been little 
worked in previous years (in particular, district 4 of Hodg, son’s Flora), 
in search of new records, and to confirm old ones wherever possible, 
lusts of plants known, or presumed to occur in the various localities to 
he visited, were circulated before the excursion began, and on Friday, 
24th June, members met in the evening in the Public Library and 
Museum, Tullie House, Carlisle, for an informal discussion of plans. 
In spite of certain forebodings on the part of both leaders, based 
on tin? length of the preceding spell of sunshine, with the exception of 
one rather wet day, the weather during the whole excursion was quite 
remarkable, dispelling, it is hoped, some earlier impressions that rain in 
Cumberland is inevitable.
