The Field Excursions and Visits to Factories.” 
SATURDAY, JUNE 29TH, 1907. 
TO CHANCTONBURY RING. 
A remarkably successful outing, the Downs showing at their 
greatest beauty. Yet just at that time darkness and a very heavy 
storm fell upon London and nearly all the rest of the country. 
Steyning Church was first visited; then, while some ladies 
remained in the valley to botanise, the rest of the party took the 
path by the White Horse Hotel to the Downs and on to 
Chanctonbury Ring. So delicious was the air on the hills that 
the Simple Life was longingly talked of ; and on the return there 
was a discussion as to whether Sussex is not after all the most 
beautiful county in England. 

SATURDAY, JULY 6rH, 1907. 
From Lewes over the Downs to Mount Caburn, in con- 
junction with the Archzological Club. Afterwards to Glynde. 
SATURDAY, JULY 20TH, 1907.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21sT, 1907. 
TO DITCHLING COMMON. 
The rare orchid ‘ lady’s tresses” ( Meottia spiralis) was dis- 
covered. Some of the party walked back over Ditchling Beacon 
in the harvest moonlight.
