Excursions. 
Ist. April Tth.—Visit to the Museum of Geology, Jermyn 
Street. Mr. F. W. Rudler, the Curator of the Museum, kindly 
conducted the party. 
2nd. April 28th.—To Wimbledon and Kingston. This ex- 
cursion was under the charge of the Geologists’ Association. 
Mr. H. W. Monckton reports on this excursion in the Proc. 
Geol. Assoc., p. 443, from which we extract the following :— 
“The first section visited was a small gravel pit a little to the 
north of Cesar’s Camp, showing some 5 ft. of yellow and brown, 
very sandy current-bedded gravel. The party then proceeded 
across the Beverley Brook to the large gravel pit at the top of 
Kingston Hill; this shows some 20 ft. of well stratified current- 
bedded gravel, in places very sandy, several large patches being 
evidently rearranged Bagshot sand. The gravel is composed of 
subangular flints, brown and black, mostly the former; of flint 
pebbles, probably from the Bagshot Beds; of Lower Greensand 
fragments; and of a varied collection of quartzite and sand- 
aver pebbles, many of which are probably from the Bunter 
eds.” 
8rd. May 5th.—Cycling excursion to Chislehurst, Eltham, and 
Greenwich, conducted by Mr. E. Pierce. 
4th. May 12th.—To West Wickham and Hayes, and over some 
cultivated fields at West Wickham, in which a large number of 
paleolithic implements have been found. Conducted by Mr. 
Clinch. Upon arriving at Hayes station, the party, about twelve 
in number, walked to the steep hill just above Coney Hall Farm, 
in order to inspect the remarkably fine specimens of ancient 
oak trees. It was observed that most of the trees had been 
pollarded, and that all bore unmistakable evidences of great age. 
A few of the neolithic hut-circles on Hayes Common were then 
examined, and the party afterwards descended by a steep path 
into the bottom of the valley on the south side of Hayes Common. 
Here, at a spot known as Gates Green, was seen a good pit- 
section of drift gravel, exhibiting rolled flints, fossils, and other 
material derived from the chalk. By kind permission of Sir 
Harry Lennard, Bart., a visit was paid to several ploughed fields 
somewhat further south, and after a careful search a few palzo- 
lithic flakes were discovered. The party then dispersed, some 
returning to Croydon by rail, and others walking. 
5th. June 4th—To Cowden and Holtye Common, under the 
guidance of Dr. H. Franklin Parsons. This excursion was
