Xiv Proceedings. 
July 4th (Saturday).—Merstham and Caterham, in conjunction 
with the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. 
Conductor, Mr. H. D. Gower. 
Nine members were present at this excursion, viz. five from 
our own Club, including two ladies, and four of the Conchological 
Society, the President of the London branch of the above Society, 
Canon Horsley, being amongst those present. 
A most enjoyable but somewhat dusty walk was made. Starting 
from Merstham Station, the road taken was a little north of the 
station and south of the spot where the old mill once stood. 
From here to Rockshaw little was found in the way of mollusea, 
some Helix cellaria and an isolated specimen of H. hortensis var. 
lutea being found. H. caperata and also H. virgata were noticed, 
but very small and immature, by the footpath leading up the hill 
by Rockshaw. 4H. cellaria was found under some pieces of 
limestone, as well as a specimen of Cochiiicopa lubrica. 
Insect life was exceptionally scarce; a specimen of the moth 
Xylophasia lithoxylea was boxed on a post, and curious to note 
was the absence of butterflies. Taking the footpath to the top 
of the hill by the Quarry Hangers, a search was made for Helia: 
pomatia, and living specimens of this well-known shell were 
curiously absent, although plenty of empty shells and also oper- 
culum were in evidence. Cyclostoma elegans was also taken in 
the long grass beside the path by the hill. Numbers of cocoons 
of the burnet moth, Zygena /ilipendula, on the grass-stems were 
noticed. The road to Caterham was then taken, a compressed 
variety of Helix rufescens being found; the members taking tea 
together at the ‘ Railway Hotel,’ Caterham Valley. 
The flora noted in the walk were as follows, and only include 
the less common and more conspicuous plants. List furnished
