Mikani were seen, also Hypericum Androsemum (Tutsan), 
which was again noted in a bushy place below Leith Hill. 
Beautiful paths through these woods and over fields led to Ockley 
Green; a short piece of road and then more paths, until we 
were right under the shadow of Leith Hill. Valerianel/a den- 
tata occurred in the fields between Ockley Green and Leith 
Hill, and by a streamside the variety s//fo/ium of the common 
watercress, and in a wood Carex pallescens. On the summit 
of Leith Hill Cevastium tetrandrum was found, a very scarce 
plant in Surrey, and this is a new locality for it. Over heaths 
and through woods, paths were found leading to Holmbury Hill, 
by which Carex padlescens was again noted, and on reaching 
the Hill a small prostrate milkwort, P. Oxyptera, was gathered. 
From Holmbury Hill the glorious woodland tracks of the Hurt- 
wood and open field ways led to Peaslake, where tea was ob- 
tained, and afterwards the road and pleasant footpaths were 
taken to Gomshall Station. On the way a remarkable little Com- 
posite, Arnoseris pusilla was seen in abundance in a cultivated 
sandy field, and close to Gomshall Station, Marrubium vulgare 
was noted to be increasing at a spot where it was first seen some 
ten years ago, 
June 26. This was a walk taken in conjunction with the 
members of the Croydon Natural History and Scientific Society, 
conducted by W. Whitaker, Esq., B.A., F.R.S. About fifteen 
visitors came and were joined by five of the Reigate Club. The 
junction of the Gault and Greensand in the Clears Pit was first 
visited, and attention was called to the presence of Phosphatic 
Nodules here and their absence in a pit a mile to the E. Very 
heavy rain drove the party to seek shelter, but later the unusual 
deposit of Calcite in the newly opened chalk pit on Colley Hill 
was examined, 
July 7. To Gomshall, conducted by J. S. M. Ward, Esq., 
B.A. The small party of four who were not deterred by a 
heavy rain storm were met by their Conductor at Gomshall 
Station. In Cold Kitchen Lane many land shells and snails were 
found. The walk was continued along the Downs eastward, and 
after tea at The Compasses a pleasant excursion was ended by a 
walk through the watercress beds and along the banks of the 
Tillingbourne. The following is the list of shells found:
