walked round the Coy Pond to see where the longest and most 

 northerly of the four streams which form the Bourne flows in; it 

 is called the Bourne Bottom Stream. 



Ascending the steep hill beyond, from which an extensive view 

 is obtained, and descending again to the valley, the Middle Bourne 

 was crossed. Here are situated the clay pits belonging to the 

 Pottery works ; from thence a long straight road or track, called 

 the Alders Road, said to have been used by smugglers, leads up 

 to Talbot Village and Wallis Down. After the long walk, tea 

 was welcomed by the party. 



Appreciation of the excursion was much enhanced by copies 

 of an excellent plan of the district made by Mr. Woodhouse and 

 Mr. de Castro, which had been distributed among the members 

 present, and also by the valuable information given by Mr. de 

 Castro in a lucid account of the Valley.
