Proceedings. XV 
August 8rd (Monday).—-Bank Holiday. Whole day. Ightham, 
Oldbury, and Knole Park. Conductor, the President. 
In spite of the threatening appearance of the weather, this 
excursion was favoured by a most enjoyable day, bright and 
pleasant. About twelve members attended; the main body of 
the party meeting at Beckenham Junction, whence they travelled 
to Wrotham by the 11.40 train, arriving soon after 12.30. Some 
members who had started earlier or cycled were met at Ightham, 
where, after noticing a very fine example of old domestic archi- 
tecture in a timbered house at the end of the village, lunch was 
had at ‘The Chequers.’ This had been very kindly arranged by 
Mr. B. Harrison, who afterwards took the party to his house to 
view his collection of flint implements, giving a very elaborate 
description. Mr. Harrison has been engaged on the study of the 
flint implements found by him in the neighbourhood for over 
thirty-five years. He divided the implements into five classes: 
those from the plateaus, termed eoliths; those of the hill-men 
deposited in drifts; those of the valley-men deposited by rivers— 
these two series comprising the older paleolithic implements— 
the newer paleoliths from rock-shelters, and the neoliths found 
spread over the country. The earliest forms have been much 
debated upon, but are now recognized by many as being actually 
worked. Mr. Harrison then conducted the party to the rock- 
shelters at Oldbury, and from the high ground pointed out the 
places in the neighbourhood whence he had obtained the various 
classes of implements. The rock-shelters are just to the north 
of the Roman Camp, and are formed by a hard rock in the 
Folkestone beds of the Lower Greensand, over which formation 
the whole of the rovte taken lay. The party then went to 
some rising ground with mounds, believed by many to be 
artificial, and to present a sinuosity indicating a possibility of 
conneciion with serpent-worship. Due east from this spot, the 
site of Kits Cotty House could be seen. The Roman Camp was 
then visited, the fosse surrounding it pointed out, and the whole 
‘position explained by Mr. Harrison, to whom a hearty vote of 
thanks for his kindness and attention was moved by the Presi- 
dent. The party then proceeded by Seal Chart and Godden 
~Green t> Knowle Park, noticing in the park the fine old trees 
known as the king’s beech and King John’s oak; but time did 
_ not allow of much stopping, and, after having tea at Sevenoaks, 
ao party returned to Beckenham Junction from the Bat-and-Ball 
tation. © 
September 12th (Saturday).—Fungus foray, Addington Park. 
Favoured by fine weather, the annual exploration for fungi was 
very successful, except that our leader, Dr. Parsons, was un- 
avoidably absent. This was the more unfortunate, as the present
