CXxvi Proceedings. 
The route was almost entirely by footpaths as set out in one 
of Walker Miles’s series, and was much enjoyed by those present. 
It was not very successful photographically, owing to the weather. 
May 31st.—To Keston. For an account of this excursion, see 
Anthropological Section. 
June 14th.—To join the Geologists’ Association to the Valley 
of the Mole, Brockham, Reigate, and Redhill. 
June 26th.—To Ashdown Forest. As it was expected that this 
day would be a holiday, on account of the Coronation, a whole- 
day excursion was arranged for the western part of Ashdown 
Forest. 
Twenty-six members and their friends went in all, two or three 
cycling to Hast Grinstead. Unfortunately five or six were not 
with the main party, which had to take an earlier train than 
expected, on very short warning, from the dislocation of the 
usual time-table, due to the expected Coronation. 
We alighted at West Hoathly, intending to work round to 
Forest Row, and thence on to take tea at the Railway Hotel, 
Kast Grinstead. The day proved gloriously fine, an east wind 
tempering the sun’s power. 
Proceeding eastwards to the cross-roads, a mile from Wych 
Cross, nearly all the party made a detour southwards across the 
common, past the house being erected by Major Darwin. Here 
a deep but waterless well in the Hastings sands was inspected. 
Proceeding on, a visit was made to Divall’s Farm in Birchgrove. 
In the well there, is a beautiful growth of ferns, including Lastrea 
Filia-mas, L.dilatata, Asplenium Trichomanes, A. Adiantum-nigrum, 
and Scolopendrium vulgare, with var. multifidum. The other ferns 
found during the day are included in the subjoined list, nine in 
all. Lastrea spinulosa, also, was obtained this year close to the 
route followed, and also Lycopodium Selago. The latter was 
searched for unsuccessfully, the young shoots of heather render- 
ing it very inconspicuous. L. clavatwn was seen growing more 
luxuriantly than any of us had previously seen it in the southern 
counties, covering several yards of ground. For the subjoined 
list we are indebted mainly to Dr. Franklin Parsons. Perhaps 
the most interesting occurrence is that of Wahlenbergia hederacea, 
the ivy-leaved campanula, though with flower-buds unopened. 
Mr. Harry D. Gower has also supplied the following list of 
insects of special interest :— 
Odonata or Dragonflies :—P. depressa, C. virgo, A. puella, A. mer: 
cwriale (captured by Mr. Nash and handed to me), P. minimum, P. 
vulgatum. Butterflies :—A. selene, E. cardamines. 
Working our way past Press Ridge Warren (part of the 
extensive property of D. W. Freshfield, Esq., to whom we were
