localities, and Campanula hederacea was found still flowering. 
The day was a phenomenally hot one for October (the ther- 
mometer registering 80° in the shade), so that the shelter of 
the trees in the wood was very welcome. Among these the 
Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) with its beautiful frilled acorn 
cup and long narrow leaves, deeply indented, was common. In 
the middle of the forest a halt was made for lunch, and the 
Fungi which had been found were displayed. Among them the 
following species and genera were recognised, and there were 
many other kinds which no one would name: 
Amanita phalloides Fries, A. muscarius L, A, pantheri- 
nus D.C., A. rubescens P. 
Armillaria melleus Vahl. 
Clitocybe laceatus Scop. 
Hypholoma fascicularis Hud. 
Coprinus comatus Fries. 
Lactarius various species. 
Russula nigricans Fries. 
Cantharellus cibarius Fr. 
Lenzitis betulina Fr. 
Boletus lutens L. 
Boletus scaber Fr. 
Clavaria fusiformis Son. 
Scleroderma vulgare Fr. 
Near the bridge which crosses the railway N. of Balcombe 
Tunnel Agrimonia odorata Mill. was plentiful, and also Ery- 
threa pulchella var schwarziana found not far away. In the 
bottom of the deep cutting the clayey soil indicated that the 
East Grinstead Clay was cut into. In the banks and upper 
slopes were the Tunbridge Wells Sands, but the section is poor. 
From the top of the tunnel, Reigate Hill could be dimly seen 
in the haze. The following butterflies were also seen: two 
specimens of the Small Copper (Chrysophanus phigeus) were 
whirling wildly about at 8.30 a.m. on Redhill Common, and 
near Balcombe the Scarlet Admiral (Pyvameus atalanta) was 
noted. 
After tea in Balcombe the party returned by the 4.26 train. 
At the Three Bridges station swans were seen flying over.
