by ideal weather. The party met at Reigate Station, and travel- 
led by the 2.5 to Chilworth, where, by the courtesy of the 
Railway Company the train stopped specially to allow them to 
alight. The route followed at first was by the lane leading to- 
wards Merrow, then along a bridle path eastwards and up the 
steep path to St. Martha’s Chapel, where the clerk, Mr. King, 
met the party and conducted them round the interior, pointing 
out objects of special interest including the tombstones of Stephen 
Langton and Alice. After admiring the extensive views to be 
obtained from the Churchyard, a walk of about a mile along a 
lovely winding path across the downs brought the party to New- 
land’s Corner, where a halt was made to admire the glorious 
stretch of country spread out to the southward. Unfortunately, 
there was a good deal of haze, and this rather limited the extent 
of the view, and the number of landmarks visible. Attention was 
drawn to the high level gravels which contain chert fragments, 
derived from the Lower Greensand Beds, to the south and 
south-east. From this point the green ride along the top of the 
hills was followed in an easterly direction until directly above 
the Silent Pool, when a turn was made southward, and a wood- 
land path down the steep hillside followed to the pool, which 
was duly admired while waiting for tea at the cottage. 
July 8. The Geological walk round Reigate, conductor Mr. 
E.W.Dann, was frustrated by steady rain. A visit was paid by 
a few members, who met at the foot of the Chalk Path 
to the Colley Pits in the Upper Greensand. By an unfortunate 
misunderstanding they failed to meet the conductor,and this with 
the heavy rain prevented the full programme being carried out. 
July 22. This was an afternoon excursion to examine the 
Eocene Outlier on which Headley Church stands, and which is 
the nearest exposure of Tertiary beds to Reigate. The party, 
numbering seven, was conducted by Mrs.G.R.S.Taylor and Miss 
Crosfield. After leaving Betchworth Station at 2.15, the atten- 
tion of the party was first called to the low escarpment of the 
Upper Greensand, through which the railway is cut. The well- 
known quarry near Hill Farm, was visited, but the section is not 
now very clear, as excavations for Hearthstone are now being car- 
ried on by a shaft and tunneling. The party rested half way up
