He has had these several famihes lightly bound in four parts, 

 and has prepared a list of notes, replies to which, if carefully 

 made, will form a valuable collection of information. Mr. 

 Berney, whose labours for the good of the Club deserve our 

 hearty recognition, has not touched the Micro-Lepidoptera, 

 leaving them to be dealt with by those members who collect 

 them. 



Six excursions were planned for the summer months, and 

 each was conducted by one of the members of the Committee 

 in turn, to whom the arrangement for the excursion was left. 



The first, on "Whit Monday, the 21st of May, was the best 

 attended of the season, the day being bright and breezy, a 

 perfect one for a long country walk. Having left East Croydon 

 Station by train for Oxted at 10.35 a.m., the party of 30 pro- 

 ceeded over Limpsfield Common to Kent Hatch, then across 

 country by Crockham Hill Common and through the woods 

 beyond to Brasted Chart, from whence a magnificent view was 

 obtained of the Weald of Kent through openings in the beech- 

 woods, which were in their full glory of light delicate green 

 foliage of early summer. On commencing the descent from the 

 Chart to Toy's HiU several specimens of the azure or holly-blue 

 butterfly [Lycana argiohis) were captured. By this time the 

 party had somewhat diminished, several having returned to 

 Westerham or Oxted. The high road was now followed to Four 

 Elms, and 18 succeeded in accomplishing the 11-mile walk to 

 the South-E astern Railway Station near Edenbridge, which was 

 left for Croydon shortly before 5 o'clock. 



The second was a botanical excursion under the guidance of 

 Mr. A. J. Crosfield, of the Holmesdale Club, actmg for Mr. 

 Mennell, on the afternoon of Saturday, the 16th of June, to 

 Eeigate. The weather was somewhat showery, with bright 

 intervals. The route lay to Wray Common, up Wray Lane to 

 the Suspension Bridge, then westward along the path through 

 the beech-woods and the hill over the rifle-butts ; some distance 

 beyond a descent was made from the hills by a lane passing 

 under the railway to Eeigate Heath.
