Owing to the attractions of the Fungi the Phanerogamia were but little 

 noticed, the only plant gathered worth recording being Gnaphnliuin xylva- 

 ticiim, which was growing j)lentifully in the open gravelly ground near 

 Monk Wood. Mr. Saville Kent was with us, ready to afford information 

 to the student of minute life in the searching of ponds and ditches, but 

 no report of captures has reached us. Mr. Kent found some forms of the 

 dubious Myxomycetes, concerning the fungoid or infusorial nature of 

 which so much discussion has recently taken place. 



As dusk began to fall the large party made towards the " Crown " 

 Hotel, Loughton ; everyone being furnished with ample stores of speci- 

 mens. Arrived at the Inn, the bags and boxes were carefully emptied and 

 the Fungi ranged in due order in the room set apart for the exliibition, 

 and then came the usual Club tea. 



After tea the 20th Ordinary Meeting of the Club was held, the 

 President in the Ciiair.
