Early British Pottery RESUME OF THE PAST FIELD MEETINGS OF THE UNION, 1893-1905. Believing that members, who have recently joined the Union> will find some little interest in knowing where field meetings have been held in the past, and that old members will not be displeased to be reminded of what districts have been visited, this resume has been drawn up. The information contained in it will also be of some use in making future arrangements for visiting the varied surface of our wide county. On June 12th, 1893, the first Field meeting was held at MABLETHORPE — a great day for lovers of nature. Many county naturalists, and also neighbours from adjacent counties, lent their aid in making the opening day a success. The out- come was the formation of the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union, as now constituted. The second meeting was held on August 7th, at WOOD- H.\LL SPA, and a goodly number of species were recorded. May 24th, 1894, found the members at LINCOLN. The bank of the Fossdyke and Hartsholme \^^ood were investigated, and a general meeting was held in the evening. The late John Cordeaux, M.B.O.U., was in the chair, and vacated it on the election of Mr. F. M. Burton, F.L.S., F.G.S. The fourth meeting was held at CLEETHORPES on July 5th, when the salt marsh flora lent an agreeable change from previous meetings. The fifth meeting was held at LOUTH, on the ist October, for a fungus foray in Burwell Wood. Mr. George Massee and Mr. Charles Crossland came to assist ; and a good list was the result. The sixth meeting was held in conjunction with the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union on June 3rd, 1895, when some of the largest and richest woodland in Lincolnshire was visited. APPLEBY, BROUGHTON, SCAWBY, TWIGMOOR, MANTON woods and common were investigated. Good records were exceedingly numerous ; and the visit to the breeding-ground of the black-headed gulls was an interesting part of the programme. 8 Resume of Field Meetings. On August 5th the seventh meeting was held at SLEAFORD, when 264 species of flowering plants were noted. In the same month, on the 23rd, the eighth meeting was held at LINWOOD Warren and woods, a favourite ground for Lincoln- shire naturalists. A fine botanical and entomological area. The ninth meeting at LIXCOLN, on October 3rd, was another great day in the history of the Union. In the morning members started for the Shell ingthorpe and Canwick woods. In the afternoon the Museum was opened by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, and in the evening the annual meeting was held. At GRANTHAM, on June :6th, 1S96, the tenth meeting came off. Mr. H. Preston, F.G.S., led the party through the Ancaster and Willoughby quarries, and pointed out the notable geological features of the area. The eleventh meeting was held at BOURNE on August 3rd. The botanical and geological studies were extremely interesting, and some good species taken. A meeting at GREAT COTES on September Sth constituted the twelfth Field day, the home of that great observer no longer with us, the late John Cordeaux, M.B.O.U., who entertained the visitors. The ground consisted of the salt marsh, the Humber, and on the land side the prolific little area known as Aylesby bog. The thirteenth meeting, held June 9th and loth, 1897, was at GAINSBOROUGH, for Lea and Scotton Commons. This has been a happy hunting-ground for all students of Natural History for over a hundred years. The fourteenth meeting, held in conjunction with the Louth Society, on August 2nd, was at HOLBECK and TETFORD. The Rev. J. Conway Walter read a paper on " Hoe Hill." The district was an attractive one, both for antiquary and naturalist. On August 26th the fifteenth meeting was held at BOSTON, for Wyberton Marsh. A large number of entomological and botanical records were made. The party was entertained to tea by Mr. and Mrs. Lane-Claypon, of Tytton Hall. The sixteenth meeting was at LINWOOD on September 30. Fifty-four species of fungi, and sixty-one species of flowering plants, and a large niwgbrfpjt^^tfo/jfera were recorded. MUSEUM I 5 "dec" 21 I NATURAL I : LINCOLNSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION.
