High Beach having been visited, and the view over the valley of the 

 Lea into Hertfordshire and Middlesex duly enjoyed, the whistle was 

 vigorously sounded to gather together the dissociated elements of the 

 party ; and a delightful ramble through tangled brake and thicket 

 brought the members to our ancient Camp, where Mr. Cole pointed out 

 and explained the recent excavations and their results. After a thorough 

 inspection of the site of the Camp, the return signal led the party back to 

 the " Wake Arms," where a substantial "high tea" awaited us. Time 

 did not permit of much talk. The Eev. W. Linton Wilson, M.A., took 

 the chair, and in a genial speech cordially welcomed our Hertfordshire 

 colleagues. Lieut. Croft, F.L.S., as Secretary of the Herts Club, expressed 

 the pleasure of his members at their first incursion into Essex; many had 

 that day seen Epping Forest for the first time, and he was sure they were 

 both surprised and pleased. He hoped this pleasant reunion of the two 

 societies, so closely united in purpose and constitution, would become an 

 annual affair. The presence of ladies at the meetings was a feature 

 cordially welcomed by both clubs, and he was sure all had reaped the 

 benefit of the regulation in the graceful assistance rendered by their lady 

 members at the tea-tables. Soon after tea the Hertfordshire detachment 

 mounted their coach en route for Waltham, and the members of the Essex 

 Club wandered through the woodlands to Loughton and Theydon Bois in 

 the cool calm evening of a perfect summer day. 



Monday, August 1st, 1881. — From Epping to Theydon Gaknon, Essex. 



[In the circular announcing the previous Field Meeting it was intimated 

 that " On Bank Holiday some members will meet at Epping Station on the 

 arrival of the 10.13 train from Fenchurch Street, for a country ramble. 

 Those intending to join should communicate with the Secretary.'" The 

 Secretary and Librarian loere duly in attendance, but only three other 

 members put in an appearance. However, tliis triad included the botanical 

 skill and local knoioledge of Prof. Botilger and Mr. English, and a very 

 pleasant and profitable day was spent. The foUoicing sketch of the ramble 

 is from Prof. Boulgefs notes, supplemented by a few observations by Mr. 

 English and the Secretary.—Ei).] 



As our small but enthusiastic party left the Epping Station, the first 

 object of botanical interest to attract our notice was the rest-harrow, of
