borders of the great pond (e. g.), Littorella lacustris, near the 

 bathing-station ; Aeoriis Calamus, at the western end of the 

 lake ; and the rare Rivulana articulata, which was so abun- 

 dant in the water last year, was found again in considerable 

 quantity. 



Aug. 7. — An excursion in the neighbourhood of Caterham, 

 striking eastward under the chalk-range. Turning out of the 

 high road to Godstone, about a mile and a half from Caterham, 

 the party entered a wood, through which at a former period 

 the coach-road ran. In this wood may be found the greater 

 and lesser Butterfly Orchis, &c. ; and abundance of Epipactis 

 latifoUa was found. Leaving the wood, the path skirted the 

 range of the chalk-hills, then mounted to the top of the chalk- 

 range, continuing N.E. until overlooking the village of Oxted. 

 The party descended the hill near some large lime-works, 

 and proceeded to Oxted Station. 



Sept. 4.— To Ashdown Forest. The Club met the Tun- 

 bridge Wells Society at Forest Eow Station, and proceeded 

 thence to Gipp's Gap. The views of the surrounding country 

 were exceedingly beautiful, and, had the air been clear, would 

 have been extensive also. The prospect from the highest 

 point reached the South Downs to their termination at 

 Beachy Head; to the east bounded by Crowborough, the 

 highest point of the Wealden series. The North Downs may 

 be traced for a long distance to the west and to the north-east. 

 A boggy piece of land is near the foot of the hill, where were 

 found Lastrea Oreopteris, Lady Fern, Blechnum, the Ivy- 

 leaved Campamila, and Sundew. 



Afternoon Excursions.

 day was cloudy, with cold wind. The season was too back- 

 ward for many plants to be found. 



May 15. — To Merstham, Chipstead, and Upper Gatton. 

 A large company met at Merstham Station. In the village 

 the Rev. H. Brass pointed out an old house, probably of the 

 16th century. Lord Hylton kindly gave permission to walk 

 through liis grounds, and afterwards to see the chief apart-
