Ivi PROCEEDINGS, 



The later history of the Church, traced by Mr. Wilton Hall, 

 does not fall within the province of our Society. 



The Vicar and Miss Anson invited the party to tea, but the 

 Barnet Society had made arrangements for tea elsewhere, so the 

 party divided, the members of the Herts Society partaking of 

 the hospitality of the Vicar and his daughter, after which they 

 made a tour of the Vicarage grounds, tastefully laid out by the 

 Eev. Dr. Griffiths, a former Vicar and an expert horticulturist. 



Before leaving, thanks were accorded on the proposition of 

 Dr. Morison to Mr. Wilton Hall for his address and to the 

 Rev. H. R. Anson and Miss Anson for their kind reception and 

 hospitality. 



Field Meeting, 1st June, 1907. 

 RUISLIP RESERVOIR. 



The members assembled at Northwood Station and thence 

 took a field-path to the Reservoir in order to collect microscopic 

 objects in conjunction with members of the Quekett Micro- 

 scopical Club, and under the direction of Mr. D. J. Scourfield. 

 A good opportunity was thus afforded of learning the best 

 methods of collecting pond-life, and many interesting objects 

 were obtained. 



Soon, however, after the collecting had begun, a thunderstorm 

 came on, and much time was lost in sheltering from the rain. 

 In fact, as it continued persistently no more could be done, and 

 after having tea, home was made for. Seldom has a party of 

 cyclists had such a drenching as those who rode back to Watford 

 through the storm, to find the heavy rain cease just as they 

 arrived home. 



Field Meeting, 8th June, 1907. 

 BERKHAMSTED AND ASHRIDGE PARK. 



This meeting was held by invitation of the President, the 

 Rev. Canon A. M. Norman, F.R.S. For those members who 

 did not cycle or motor. Canon Norman provided a brake from 

 Berkhamsted Station to Messrs. Lane & Son's Nurseries on 

 the Common, and thence to Ashridge House, where, by kind 

 permission of Earl Brownlow, the chapel and gardens were 

 visited. 



The rhododendrons, for which the gardens of Ashridge are 

 famed, were in the height of their glory, presenting a gorgeous 

 effect of massed colour, which, for brilliancy and variety of hue, 

 can hardly be surpassed. 



On their return to Berkhamsted the members were kindly 

 entertained at tea by Canon Nonnan, at his residence, The 

 Red House, where they afterwards rambled through his garden 

 and inspected portions of his extensive private museum of
