The Secretary read a Letter from Mr. Nicholson, giving an ac- 

 count of a young bird, just fledged, of the Hawfinch (Coccothraustes 

 europcea) having been picked up from off the ground in a wood at 

 Lullingstone Castle, Kent, in the month of June last. The noise 

 which it made on being taken up soon brought the parent birds to 

 the spot, so that their nest must have been at no great distance, as 

 the young bird was unable to fly. Mr. Doubleday has remarked 

 that the bird frequently breeds in Epping Forest ; and it is perhaps 

 owing to its shy habits that the fact of its continuing throughout 

 the year and breeding in this country escaped the notice of Latham 

 and Montagu. 



Mr. George Luxford, A.L.S. exhibited specimens of Polygonum 

 dumetorum and Epipactis purpurata collected by him near Reigate, 

 Surrey.
