49
parts of the Common and woodlands. A specimen of Midland
Hawthorn was shown to members at teatime.
Thirty one members sat down to an excellent and well-
deserved tea in the Parish Room, Fryerning, when the
business part of the meeting took place.
At the end of the meeting it was reported that 44 species
had been seen or heard - with a bit of luck this could
easily haue reached half a century!! A magnificent total
for what proved to be one of the best meetings held at
Mill Green for many years, in spite of there being no
Nightingales.
Nr. D.A. Smith, our Diptera Recorder also attended this
meeting and informs us that Saromyza hyalinata, a fly,
was taken on the Common, this Fly is known only in
Scotland and the New forest. This is, therefore, a
very interesting record. A list of Diptera and other
insects is now with our Recorder.
