seen, and swamps of waving Cotton-Grass here and there 
were dotted about. 
In the pond, white Waterlilies were flowering and on its 
beach-like margin the little Plantain Shore-weed (Zittore//a 
Jacustris) flourished; drifted to the shore, Ranunculus 
circinatus was also seen but in no great quantity. 
The day was now nearing its end, so a hurried walk to 
Frensham Great Pond, and a still more hurried tea at the 
Inn, culminated in a sharp five mile burst to Farnham 
Station, where the train was luckily caught, but with little 
to spare: 
Little botanising could be done the latter part of the 
walk, but Corydalis claviculata and Arabis perfoliata were 
noted by the roadside near Frensham. 
July s5th.—This was really a Croydon Club outing, for 
when I reached Betchworth Station I met six members of 
the Croydon Club, under the guidance of Mr. Whitaker, 
but no members of our own Club. 
The weather was fine, though somewhat sultry, with a 
dark belt of clouds very low down on the horizon, Being 
an afternoon excursion it was too late in the day for many 
of the more interesting insects to be met with. In the 
lane leading to the hills were a few Humble Bees, Bomdbus 
pratorum, B.sylvarumand B.muscorum, all common species. 
The last named is the common Moss Carder Bee, but all 
three of the above-named species will make their nests of 
moss or dry grass stalks, on the surface of the ground. 
Taking a footpath leading in the direction of Reigate, 
at the foot of the hills we soon met with a few plants 
_ more or less interesting to the botanical members of our 
little party. Ona small patch of Umbelliferze were a few 
insects, chiefly Coleoptera. Most of these were, of course, 
the very common TZe/ephorus lividus. Another patch of 
Umbelliferz, a little further on, yielded a few specimens 
of Mordellistena pumila, a somewhat uncommon little 
beetle. 
A few Weevils were found by beating the bushes over a 
net with a stick. These were common species of Afzon,
