and Missel Thrush were heard singing, a somewhat late date 

 for both species to be in song. 



June 25. Box Hill. — Atropa Belladonna, Rhamnus catharti- 

 Gus, &c., were found, and Bee Orchises were out in great 

 abundance on the slopes of Box Hill. Sir J. Trevor Law- 

 rence, Bart., M.P., very kindly permitted the party to visit 

 his Orchid-houses, in which was a most interesting variety of 

 Orchids of all kinds. 



July 9. St. Leonaed's Foeest. — The High Brown Fritillary 

 was found in great abundance ; it seemed to affect almost 

 exclusively the flowers of Cnicus paUtstris. A number of 

 specimens of the Pearl-bordered Fritillary were also taken. 

 Many extremely fine specimens of Lastraa Oreopteris were 

 found ; some fronds measured more than four feet in length. 

 CampanuJn hederacea was found growing plentifully and 

 vigorously in various parts of the Forest, and was not at aU 

 confined to places that were specially damp. Anagallis tenella 

 and Hypericum elodes were also met with. In a field on the 

 slope of one of the valleys or ravines in the more open part 

 of the Forest, Habenaria bifolia was met with in greater 

 profusion than any of the party had ever previously witnessed. 

 There must have been many hundreds, if not thousands, of 

 specimens in flower, but most of them had rather passed their 

 prime. 



July 23. Eeigate Heath, &c. — A specimen of Nartheciuvi 

 ossifraga* was gathered in flower in the marshy ground at 

 the south-west corner of the Heath ; this is a new though 

 very likely locaUty for it. Other plants found were Sedum 

 Telephium and Rhamnus Frangula. A specimen of Prionus 

 coriarius, a Longicorn not at all common here, was taken in 

 a wheat-field near the water-works. 



Auo-. 10. GoMSHALL. — The following are some of the plants 

 found in flower : — Epipactis latifolia, Inida Conyza, Linaria 

 minor; Phyteuma orbiculare, by no means a common plant 

 hereabouts ; Campamda glomerata, found in abundance in a 

 locality of a few square yards in extent at the further side of 



* It was afterwards ascertained that this plant had been introduced 

 some years ago by Mr. N. E. Brown, of Kew.
