observed, indicating the situation of the well-known view point, 
Newland Corner ; and alittle later the Irvingite church of Albury 
is passed, and the path followed direct to Shere, where tea was 
obtained at the well-known ‘White Horse.’ From there to the 
station was the only bit of high road traversed; all the rest was 
through paths, lanes, fields, and woods, making altogether as 
charming a walk as anyone could wish for.”

ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND ARCH®OLOGICAL CoMMITTEE. 
During the year 1901 there were four meetings of| the Committee 
and four meetings of the Section. The following gentlemen have 
exhibited objects at the meeting: Messrs. H. C. Collyer, A. J. Hogg, 
HK. Lovett, N. F. Robarts, and G. Clinch (Hon. Sec.). 
A successful excursion to Croham Hurst, in order to inspect the 
sites of Neolithic dwellings there, was made on Saturday, March 
16th, under the guidance of Mr. Clinch, and about forty members 
attended. 
In addition to the ordinary exhibition and discussion of objects 
illustrative of local anthropology and archeology at the evening 
meetings, the chief piece of work which has been attempted during 
the year is the compilation of a list of all local discoveries bearing on 
the subjects with which the Committee deals. Little more than pre- 
liminary work has been accomplished at present, but it is proposed to 
continue the task as quickly as may be found compatible with that 
accuracy and precision of detail which alone will make the list 
permanently valuable. The assistance of any member of the Society 
who may be able to give precise facts of unrecorded discoveries will 
be gratefully welcomed. The Council has kindly made a small 
grant for the purchase of maps, upon which it is proposed to mark 
it sites of the various discoveries, and the periods to which they 
elong. 
Now that the scope of the Committee has been so widened as to 
include the subject of archeology, it is hoped that the attendances at 
our sectional meetings and general interest in our work will appreci- 
ably increase.—Grorce Cuincu, Hon. Sec.

During 1901 the Botanical Committee have continued the investiga- 
tion of the flora of the commons and wild tracts in the neighbourhood 
of Croydon, and the number of species recorded has greatly increased. 
The commons under investigation are (the figures refer to the number 
of species recorded for 1900 and 1901) :—
