Near one of the Hammer Ponds was seen a fine clump of ths 
hybrid Rush, Juncus diffusus, with it were the parents, glaucus 
and effusus; near here Mr. Marshall pointed out two fine 
bushes of Rosa sepium. 
Then across open heathy land, producing Huphrasia nemo- 
rosa, towards Cosford ; Epipactis media, Bab., was seen in some 
abundance, near here, —— fir-trees, but its flowers were

Delightful lanes and field-footpaths led back to Witley

below Guildford, Sutton Lock being reached. Sagittaria and 
Impatiens biflora ( fulva) were abundant, the latter often form-
