Mr. Hembry said that special arrangements had been made as to rail- 

 way fares on the occasion of the excursion to Whitstable. He had written 

 to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and had heard from 

 them that they would be pleased to provide tickets for members of the 

 party at 4s. lid. each for the day excursion, or Is. extra if it was 

 desired to return on Monday. 



Mr. T. C. White said he should advise those members who went down to 

 Whitstable to provide themselves with good extra pairs of waterproof 

 boots, as after wading in the salt marshes they would be apt to come away 

 with a good deal of mud attached.
