 EPPING FOEEST. 



This meeting was held in conjunction with the Epping Porest 

 and County of Essex Ifaturalists' Field Club, the two societies 

 meeting at the Wake Arms in the centre of the forest, for which 

 the members of the Hertfordshii'e Society had taken a coach from 

 Waltham. 



The. members of the two societies, under the guidance of Mr. 

 Cole, the Honorary Secretary of the Essex Club, walked through 

 Great and Little Monk's woods to High Beech, from which there 

 is an extensive view over the valley of the Lea into Hertfordshire 

 and Middlesex. A pleasant ramble brought the party to the ancient 

 British Camp, where Mr. Cole pointed out the recent excavations 

 and explained their results, and a return was then made to the 

 Wake Arms, where tea was ready for the party. 



After tea the Rev. W. Linton Wilson, M.A., took the chair at 

 an ordinary meeting of the Essex Field Club, and in a genial 

 speech cordially welcomed the Hertfordshire Society, on whose 

 behalf Mr. Croft briefly responded. The Hertfordshire contingent 

 then mounted their coach for the return journey to Waltham, and 

 the members of the local society wandered through the woodlands 

 to Loughton and Theydon Bois.
