NEWS FROM THE BRANCHES. 
Birmingham and Midland. — A very enjoyable walking excursion took 
place on Saturday, Sept. 16. The party took train to Forge Mills, and thence 
walked to Coleshill, where the interesting old church, with its noble tower and 
crocheted spire, was visited. On the way to Yardley, where tea was kindly 
provided by Mrs. Rowlands, a woodland path, through part of the ancient Forest 
of Arden, led to Marston Green. The woods as yet showed no sign of autumn 
— the masses of bracken being in a very green and flourishing condition. There 
was also a cycling detachment. 
FIELD CLUB RAMBLE. 
Oxted to Lagham. — September 30. — A small part)-, undaunted by 
threatening weather, had a most enjoyable ramble for the last of the season, 
under the guidance of Professor Boulger, or rather of “Walker Miles,” since 
the route described in his little book, recently reviewed in Nature Notes, was 
followed throughout, and with most happy results. It led through beautifully 
wooded parks and fields rich in early autumn colouring, with a minimum of road, 
and it was decided at tea that les absents ont toujours tort.
