way some fine spikes of the Large White Helleborine {Cephal- 

 anthera pallens). The notes of the Cirl Bunting were heard, 

 and one was observed for some time uttering its short song 

 very frequently. A young brood of Goldcrests were noticed, 

 busy among the boughs of a Spruce Fir. On Eanmore 

 Common the songs of the Willow Wren and Whitethroat 

 were heard every few minutes. These two species seemed to 

 predominate over the other Warblers in numbers. For some 

 time the party paused to listen to the soft sweet song of the 

 Garden Warbler. This little bird is capable of uttering 

 inexpressibly soft notes, followed by a burst of melody. Its 

 song much resembles that of the Blackcap. From Eanmore 

 Common a westerly coui'se was pursued along the top of the 

 hills between Dorking and Gomshall. The Foxgloves were in 

 their prime. Several newly-emerged 'specimens of the Pearl- 

 bordered Fritillary flitted past. The long-continued trill of 

 the Grasshopper Warbler was listened to. The rest of the 

 party were joined at the Silent Pool. The Silent Pool is 

 remarkably clear and deep, and many large Trout were dis- 

 porting themselves in it. The road leading to the top of the 

 chalk-hills was then followed past Newlands Corner to the 

 hill on which St. Martha's Chapel stands. A Nightjar on 

 being put up was seen to clap its wings smartly over its back. 

 Sedum acre, Potentilla artjentea, Teesdalia nudicaulis, and Cory- 

 dalis claviculata were found near the chapel. The steep path 

 down the hill through woods to Chilworth was then followed. 

 By a pond near the station, Impatiens fulva was noticed 

 growing. Fifty-three species of birds were seen or heard 

 during the day. 



June 28th. — From Boxhill Station a small party walked to 

 Betchworth Park, noted for its fine old Spanish Chestnuts. 

 The path was then followed to Brockham Green, and thence 

 to Betchworth Station. On the way a fine Stag Beetle was 

 caught. 



July 12th. — Two members took the train to Warlingham, 

 and thence walked in the direction of Woldiugham. About 

 half-past eleven a halo was seen round the sun, and towards 

 the north side another larger one, the circumference of which
