Four excursions were arranged for the Summer months, and to two of 

 them it was thought advisable to try to add a little additional mterest 

 by including a visit to some place — notable either for its historical 

 associations or for its position and artistic or scientific collections. 



The first excursion was on 17th May, to Olantigh Towers and Wye 

 Downs and it was attended by a large number of members and their 

 friends. 



The second excursion, June 14, for combined Societies' Meeting 



to the East Cliff at Folkestone, when the appended list of flowers were 



noticed — 



Folkestone, June 14 — 



Ophrys Apifera. Hippophae Rhamnoides. Brasccia Nigra. 



Brasscia Arvensisin Bloom. Diplotaxis Muralis. Carduus Lanceolatus

abandoned on account of the unfavourable weather. 



The fourth to the Warren, near Folkestone, on August 9th, was 

 well attended and was an interesting and pleasant excursion. A large

 for the members to inspect the valuable collections which the house 

 contains, and also to ramble in the beautiful park which has so many

 them several large Auricarias 3 feet is girth. The Mayor of Faversham 

 met the party at the station, and not only placed the Town Hall at

 great kindness threw her house open to the party and e.xerted herself to 

 show as much as was possible in the time at disposal. The fine
