NATURE NOTES 
grounds of Clandon Park, the seat of the Earl of Onslow. Butomus umbellatus 
was noticed in flower in the lake. On arriving at Merrow, tea was taken at the 
Horse and Groom, an old-fashioned inn bearing the date 1615. After a short 
visit to the church, the walk was continued across Merrow Downs, wild flowers 
being met with in rich profusion, large patches of the wild mignonette (Reseda 
lutea) and the greater mullein ( Verbascum Thapsus) being specially noticed, as 
well as the greater knapweed. On reaching Newlands Corner (567 feet above 
O.D.) the extensive view was greatly enjoyed. The return journey was made from 
Clandon Station, two and a half miles distant. 
On July 13 Mr. MUhlberg conducted a most delightful ramble from Wolding- 
ham to Oxted. Fourteen were present. The greater part of the route lay 
through Marden Park, and wild flowers (including the bee orchis) were met with 
in rich profusion. The view overlooking Oxted from the top of the downs was 
much admired, as well as the old church at Oxted.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Rev. F. M. Millard. — Lepidium Draba. 
B. E. S. — Hypericiim elodes, which is by no means confined to the west. 
Rev. B. Wilson. — There is no recent work of moderate price, such as you 
apparently desire. Cassell’s “Concise Natural History,” by Dr. E. Perceval 
Wright (price 7s. 6d.), might answer your purpose. There are plenty of larger 
books and works dealing with separate groups.
