110 3IEETINGS. 



Informal Meeting held May 21st, 1902.

 Grandes Rocques.

July 30th, Fort Doyle and Fort Le Marehant. 



August 12th, Les Thielles, Torteval. 



August 30th, Sark. 



September 9th, Richmond and L'Eree. 



Monthly Meeting held October loth, 1902, Mr. W. A. Luff 



in the chair. 



The Secretary read the report on the Summer Ex- 

 cursions : — 



Only the Geological and Entomological Sections were 

 represented at the Alderney Excursion ; the day was not a 

 very propitious one. The results will be found under the 

 Sectional headings. 



The excursion to Grandes Rocques did not take place. 



The excursion to St. Pierre-du-Bois was the most success- 

 ful of the series ; the report appears as a separate paper. 



The excursion to Fort Doyle did not take place. 



On August 12th, the members went to Torteval, but 

 nothing of importance was noted. 



In Sark, the Botanical Section was able, through the 

 kindness of Mr. Hurst, a botanist, who has been staying at 

 Dixcart Hotel, and who has visited Brechou (Isle des 

 Marchands), and collected and named the plants of the Island 

 for this Society, to make most important additions to the 

 Flora of Sark, and so increase the number of the special 

 plants of the bailiwick. Particulars are recorded in the annual 

 report of the Botanical Section. 



The Entomological Section might have had better success 

 had the weather been brighter ; many interesting species were 

 captured, some being additions to the Sark list, especially 

 among the Diptera and Hymenoptera. That beautiful metallic- 

 hued beetle, Cetonia aurata, the rose chafer (not to be found 

 in Guernsey), was noticed in some numbers on ragwort and 

 blackberry blossom. Full-grown larvae of that fine moth, 

 Satumiia carpini, the Emperor, were taken in little Sark. 



A heavy thunderstorm prevented the excursion to 

 Richmond.
