 July 6, Sandhills near Sandwich, Botanical. 

 August 25, To Whitstable for dredging. 



September 21, The Elham Valley Railway Cutting — Barham, Lyminge

The first excursion was on June 16 to Bougliton Aluph, and 

 Eastwell Park. A large number of members joined and went 

 by waggonettes to Boughton. Thence they proceeded through 

 Eastwell Park, and returned to Boughton for tea. Many fine 

 and interesting Botanical specimens were gathered, and some of 

 the Members formed a group for Geological exj^loration. On 

 July 6 there was a Botanical Excursion to the Sandhills between 

 Sandwich and Deal. The number joining was not large, but 

 the excursion was successful, and several interesting specimens 

 were gathered. In August a small party went to Whitstable 

 for an afternoon's dredging under the guidance of Mr. Sibert 

 Saunders. 



The last excursion was a Geological one in the Elham 

 Valley following the line of the new railway from Barham to 

 Lyminge and Etching Hill. At the latter place Mr. Geo. 

 Dowker gave an address on the most prominent features of the 

 district as laid bare by the excavations, and then the members j 

 proceeded to Elham by way of Acryse and Elham Mill. At a] 

 spot between these places Mr. Dowker gave a brief address] 

 describing the sands that cap the high ground there.
