were many plants of deadly nightshade {Airopa belladomm), several, 

 of considerable size, in flower. 



A rough piece of Mickleham Downs, much mined by rabbits, 

 afforded very large patches of stonecrop in profusion, fine examples 

 of viper's-bugloss {Echiiim vu/gare), a large colony of hound's-tongue 

 {Cvnog/ossum officinale), and the remarkable ground-pine {AJuga 

 chamcepitys), which, however, was not flowering. Over Juniper Hill 

 we passed through the beech wood, finding more broomrapes and 

 some stinkhorns {Phallus impudiais), and descended into Headley 

 Lane. Time would not permit of an exploration of the classic 

 hunting-ground on this occasion, so we made our way direct to the 

 Burford Bridge Hotel, where a dining-room opening upon the well- 

 kept gardens had been prepared for us, and where forty members 

 and friends sat down to an admirable tea. 



After tea a portion of the party walked through Norbury Park to 

 Leatherhead, others proceeding direct from Box Hill station. The 

 following lists of insects and molluscs are compiled from informa- 

 tion supplied by various members, to whom the thanks of the 

 conductors are due.
