beaten from oak trees, on Black Heath ; Bntchtis viUosus, ft'om the

July 'HOth, 1866.~Ou this occasion the Members proceeded to 

 Greening's Farm, Charlwood, by the kind invitation of the Presi- 

 dent. The weather was fine, the attendance of members larger than 

 usual, and the excursion altogether a very jsleasant one ; the only 

 cause of regret was the absence of the President, who was too unwell 

 to meet the Members, but whose place was suppUed by two of his 

 sons. 



The following are a few of the plants noted as occurring there : — 

 Epipactis purpurata, Hypericum Androscemwn, Serratula tinctoria, 

 Angelica sylvestris, &c., in the woods at Greening's Farm ; Lathyrus 

 Nissolia, on the borders of fields ; Tilia parvifolia, Pyrus domestica, 

 P. torminalis, &c., in hedge-rows ; and Euphorbia platyphyUa, Bu- 

 pleurum rotundifoUum, Lotus tenuis, &c., in corn-fields. 



Many interesting captures were made by the entomologists, both 

 in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Among the latter, perhaps the fol- 

 lowing are worthy of note : — Gyroplmna nana and G. affinis were 

 taken in profusion from fungi in the woods ; Conopalpus testaceus 

 was beaten from oak-trees ; Magdalinus Pruni, beaten from Prunns 

 spinosa; and Erirhinus tceniatus and E. pectoralis beaten from 

 willows.
