MAY 31s(, 1913. 



Field Meeting at Netley Heath. 



Conducted bij W. J. Kaye, F.E.S. 



Six years ago, on June 8th, 1907, a field meeting was held on 

 this same ground, when also Mr. and Mrs. Kaye, as on the present 

 occasion, provided an open-air tea on the heath. The day this year 

 was fine, if inclined to be chilly, but lepidoptera were exceedingly 

 scarce, even less being taken than at the previous visit of the- 

 Society. For the future it seems desirable to put off visiting this 

 beautiful but rather exposed locality till later in the year. Mid- 

 June would probably give as good results as at any time, and 

 certainly better than what is to be taken at an average season at 

 the end of May. Although so little was done entomologically, a 

 very enjoyable afternoon was spent, and again a very large muster 

 arrived for tea, some thirty members putting in an appearance. In 

 the Proceedings of the Society for 1907-8, pp. 60-61, will be found 

 lists of plants and insects that were then recorded. Such species 

 as were found on this occasion are comprised in that account, but 

 in addition mention should be made of the extraordinarily fine 

 flower trusses of bugle {Ajinja rejitans) that were observed in masses 

 in the lane leading up to the Heath. An interesting lichen, 

 (rraphis eler/ans, was found by one of the members.
