Excursions, 1898. 
June 4.—Bewbush and Ifield. 
Nine members left Redhill by an early train to Faygate. 
Foot paths and a pleasant walk through a wood led the party to 
Bewbush Mill-pond; on the way Carex pallescens was gathered, 
and in the wood Luzula Forstert and Carew vesicuria were seen. 
Nearer the pond, in open meadows, Orchis morio was abun-

towards Ifield, but had not proceeded far before a Snipe’s nest 
was found with four eggs, the bird being flushed at close 
quarters. The eggs were extremely handsome, and were placed 
in a tuft of thick grass. 
Nearer Ifield, Ophioglossum vulgatum occurred in a meadow. 
Boats were obtained at the mill, and most of the party ex- 
plored the further end of the pond (which is the prettiest 
portion) by punt. 
The Waterlilies were in abundance and @nanthe phellandrium 
grew in one portion. 
Train was taken back to Redhill from Three Bridges, to 
which Station the members walked via Crawley, where a halt 
was made for tea. 
Sept. 3.—Witley Common. 
Only four members met the conductor, Rey. E. 8. Meno 
upon Milford platform.

visited and Potamogeton obtusifolius obtained from a pond; close
