  in 
  one 
  small 
  corner. 
  The 
  rhododendrons 
  were 
  well 
  out 
  on 
  the 
  heath 
  

   but 
  no 
  " 
  bee 
  hawks 
  " 
  were 
  seen, 
  and 
  were 
  probably 
  over, 
  although 
  

   they 
  are 
  usually 
  very 
  late 
  in 
  this 
  high 
  situation. 
  The 
  members 
  at 
  

   one 
  o'clock 
  halted 
  for 
  lunch, 
  each 
  one 
  having 
  provided 
  himself 
  with 
  

   sustenance. 
  After 
  lunch 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  butterflies 
  was 
  swollen

  Of

  Mr.

  Late 
  in 
  the 
  

   afternoon 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  E. 
  Green 
  found 
  several 
  larva3 
  of 
  Ptilopliora 
  plnini- 
  

   gera 
  resting 
  on 
  the 
  undersides 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  Acer 
  platauoides, 
  or 
  

   Norway 
  maple, 
  a 
  species 
  introduced 
  into 
  the 
  woods. 
  

  

  Botanically 
  the 
  chief 
  finds 
  were 
  eight 
  species 
  of 
  our 
  indigenous 
  

   orchids. 
  They 
  were 
  the 
  following 
  : 
  — 
  OrcJiu 
  tnaculata, 
  L., 
  Gijwnadenia 
  

   connpsea, 
  Brown, 
  Habenaria 
  montana, 
  D. 
  & 
  Sch. 
  = 
  cidorantha, 
  Bab. 
  

   The 
  last 
  was 
  found 
  after 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  searching 
  growing 
  in 
  a 
  

   rather 
  thick 
  bit 
  of 
  wood. 
  The 
  spikes 
  were 
  very 
  line 
  and 
  at 
  their 
  

   best. 
  Oji/ngs 
  apifera 
  Huds., 
  and 
  Ophnjfuinincifera, 
  Huds., 
  the 
  latter 
  

   very 
  local 
  land 
  growing 
  in 
  one 
  small 
  area 
  only. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  

   specimens 
  had 
  the 
  tip 
  yellow-brown 
  with 
  the 
  normal 
  blue 
  area 
  

   brownish-white, 
  and 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  lobes 
  much 
  refiexed, 
  giving 
  the 
  

   flower 
  a 
  much 
  more 
  slender 
  and 
  longer 
  appearance. 
  Lixtera 
  ovata, 
  

   Br., 
  Epipactis 
  helleborine, 
  Crantz 
  = 
  lati 
  folia, 
  Allioni, 
  and 
  Cephalanthera 
  

   grandifiora, 
  S. 
  F. 
  Gvi\^f 
  = 
  ]iallens, 
  Rich. 
  Other 
  plants 
  observed 
  were 
  

   those 
  usually 
  met 
  with 
  on 
  the 
  chalk 
  down 
  ; 
  perhaps 
  one 
  might 
  

   mention 
  some 
  very 
  large 
  clumps 
  of 
  Atropa 
  belladonna, 
  the 
  deadly 
  

   nightshade. 
  One 
  Mgxonn/cetes 
  might 
  be 
  noted, 
  Leo:arpiis 
  fragilis, 
  

   which 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  yellow 
  plasmodimii 
  stage 
  creeping 
  over 
  moss 
  

   on 
  Netley 
  Heath 
  (E. 
  Step). 
  The 
  return 
  route 
  from 
  the 
  leas 
  was 
  

   made 
  via 
  the 
  chalk 
  lane, 
  and 
  a 
  substantial 
  tea 
  was 
  partaken 
  of 
  at 
  

   the 
  " 
  Duke 
  of 
  Wellington," 
  after 
  which 
  the 
  members 
  decided 
  to 
  

   Wilk 
  on 
  to 
  Effingham 
  Station. 
  There 
  was 
  insufficient 
  time 
  for 
  

   dusking, 
  but 
  a 
  thoroughly 
  enjoyable 
  day 
  had 
  been 
  spent.
