the face of the chalk escarpment, and a short account of the origin 
and development of the structure of the Weald and its physical 
features was given. The path through the wood to the east of 
Betchworth Clump was followed, and then the field path to 
Headley Heath. Attention was called to the deposits of gravel 
and sand, and their possible connection with those seen above 
Newland’s Corner, and near Chipstead on previous excursions. 
In Headley Lane the clayey sand of the Reading Beds was ex- 
amined, and many specimens of Os¢rea del/avacina found. A 
quarry in Upper Chalk was next visited, and the recently found 
proofs of the presence of the Zone of Marsupites testudinarium 
all along the N. outcrop of the Chalk were mentioned. The party 
then returned to tea at the Village Institute, after which, the 
track by field-paths and lanes to Walton Heath was taken, and 
the descent into Reigate made by the Pilgrims’ Way. 
August 12. The party numbered ten and was conducted by 
Miss Ethel Sargant and Mr. C. E. Salmon. Starting from Gom- 
shall Station we climbed to the top of the North Downs, and 
walked for some way westward along the ridge. We came down 
by.a lane near the Silent Pool which was visited by some of the 
party. We all met at tea at Albury, saw Albury Church, and 
walked back to Gomshall Station by the valley road. The most 
interesting botanical find wasa newstation for Epipactis violacea. 
The plants observed in flower werechiefly Umbellifers, Compost- 
tes and Ladiates, as might be expected at that season: some were 
characteristic of the chalk as Scabiosa columbaria and Cala- 
mintha actnos. 
Oct. 2. This was a most enjoyable and successful excursion 
to Tilgate Forest in search of Fungi, conducted by Mr. J. B. 
Crosfield. The party which numbered 19, took train to Three 
Bridges; from here we walked on the east side of the railway 
southward through the forest. A small detour was made to see 
the old furnace ponds, now a charming ornamental lake. A 
Heron (Ardea cinerea) was seen flying over, and near by a flock 
of long-tailed Tits (Acvedula caudata-rosea) was observed, and 
the following flowers found: Pr/udaria globulifera L. (Pepper 
Grass) and Zitorella lacustris L. (Plantain Shore - weed). 
Epipactis media Fries was also recorded from one or two
