FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT, FOR igo8.

Clapham. — As was expected, the Clapham Excursion held 
during the week-end September 5th to 7th, was largely geological 
in its scope. Representatives of other sections were present, 
and duly reported on the work accomplished. The geologists 
were fortunate in securing the services of the veteran geologist — 
Professor T. McKenny Hughes, F.R.S., who has made the district 
his special study. The Professor proved a veritable guide, 
philosopher and friend, and his presence made the Excursion 
quite a red-letter day in the Union's annals. An illustrated 
report appears in " The Naturalist " for December. 
Two new members were elected. 
Mulgrave. — As will be seen from the report of the Mycolo- 
gical Committee which appear on another page, the Annual Fungus 
Foray at Mulgrave Woods, September 19th to 24th, proved, in 
every way, to be the most successful yet held. A full report of 
this excursion wdll appear in " The Naturalist" for January. 
Mr. Crossland has had printed the list of the whole of the 
■species collected, a copy being sent to the members attending 
the foray, and he has also deposited one in the Soppitt 
Memorial Library, as w^ell as one with the Secretary of the 
Union,
