Report of Field Meeting held at Chislehurst on September 



16th, 1905. 



By F. B. Carr. Communicated January 11 t/i, 1906. 



The weather was perfect, but unfortunately the response of members 

 to the invitation to attend the meeting was no better than usual at this 

 period of the year. All those who took part in the outing appear to 

 have thoroughly enjoyed it, although they may not have made any 

 notable captures. The number present was thirteen, and on arrival 

 at the station a few elected to take the shortest road to St. Paul's 

 Cray Common, the remainder taking a roundabout route through 

 Southborough and Pett's Wood, and joining the other party on 

 the common. The latter had a pleasant ramble through field, 

 copse, country lane, and wood, and searched diligently, each in his 

 own particular line. Though no great rarities were found, it was 

 agreed that at a more favourable time of year a much better result 

 might be expected. When the two parties met on St. Paul's Cray 

 Common all proceeded to the hostelry at Chislehurst, where an 

 excellent tea was partaken of, after which the majority made for the 

 station. Three remained behind and returned to St. Paul's Cray 

 Common to search for larvae and had a fair amount of success. I 

 am indebted to the following members for list of finds : Rev. 

 F. H. Wood (Arachnidae), Mr. F. Noad Clark (Flora), Mr. T. R. 

 Ashby (Coleoptera), Mr. Harry Moore (Coleoptera and Hemiptera).
