Arms. Many plants were gathered en mute, viz. i—Eammculus 
tricopliyllus, Galium uliginosum, Silaus pratemis, Carex riparia, 
G. pendula, C. distam, G. hirta, Ophioglossum vulgatum, and 
Alchemilla vulgaris ; the latter the most noteworthy find. The 
summit of D undry Hill was attained before five o’clock, and 
whilst tea was being prepared at Hill House Farm, the old 
oolite quarries were revisited, and acquaintance renewed, in this 
habitat, with Gystopteris fragilis. After tea it w^as determined 
to push on to Bourton, and return thence to Bristol by the 
7 p.m. train. Descending the hill to the far side of the Bristol 
Water Company’s reservoirs, some marshy ground yielded 
Pedicularis sylvatica, Lathyrus macrorrhizus, Valeriana dioica, 
Garduus pratensis, Garex prmeox, G. pallescens, G. panicea, and 
0. vulgaris. Little time could be afforded for botanizing, how- 
ever, in the general anxiety to reach Bourton. Unluckily, the 
way thither proved to be longer than was anticipated, and the 
naturalists were unsuccessful in their endeavour to catch the 
train. Several remained at the station and came on later, but 
the main body, including most of the ladies, trudged home 
through dusty and dreary Long Ashton, 
June 5th. — Present, eleven members of the Society and 
eight visitors. The party left Clifton Down at 1,5. The train 
not stopping at Charfield, it was necessary to change, and wait 
about an hour, at Mangotsfield. The time was utilized in 
examining the vicinity of the station. Hieracium vulgatum w^as 
very abundant on the cutting, where White Foxglove had 
been sown by the station-master. On the heath was Lepigonum 
ruhimm, and in some marshy ground close by several good plants 
were discovered, viz., Scirpus setaceus, Garex ovalis, G. stellulata, 
G. flava, Ranunculus Flammula, R. hedcraceus, Montia fontana, 
Nardus stricta, Hydrocotyle vulgaris, Lychnis Flos-cuculi, and 
Pedicularis sylvatica. Two or three of these were new to the 
district Flora. Proceeded at 2.15 to Charfield, and thence
