July 22. A party of eight including the President was con- 
ducted to Penshurst by Dr. A. B. Gough, M.A. After following 
field paths to Chiddingstone, with its picturesque 17th Century 
houses, the members crossed the Park where stands a weathered 
mass of sandstone 18 feet high (the so-called ‘Chiding Stone’), 
and proceeded by way of Salmon’s Farm and South Park, to 
Penshurst Place, the historic home of the Sidneys and now the 
residence of Lord de I’ Isle and Dudley. Here an hour was 
spent in examining the ancient building, with its furniture and 
portraits, the Conductor having previously sketched in brief the

by the head gardener through the magnificent arboretum, which 
contains a collection of well-grown and rare conifers, perhaps

Crosfield, Esq. This, the last excursion of the season, was at- 
tended by only four members although a large attendance had 
been anticipated. Rain fell heavily from before the start, and 
continued with scarcely any intermission throughout the day. 
Starting from Three Bridges station, field paths and lanes were 
followed to Worth Church. The fine Saxon windows and walls 
were examined and then, undeterred by the wet, one of the 
tracks across Tilgate Forest was taken. In the undergrowths 
about twenty species of fungi were collected, but they were
