With the exception of the Fungus Foray in October in conjunction with the 
Essex Field Club, which I hope to be able to arrange again this year, and par- 
ticulars of which will then appear in the October Magazine, these rambles 
will be the last for the season of 1905. With the close of the season will also 
end my connection with the Field Club as Honorary Secretary, which I assumed 
in March, 1899 ; and also of the Selborne Saturday Afternoons, which I started 
in November of the same year. I am exceedingly sorry that I am physically 
unable any longer to continue the work. I must thank Mr. H. B. Wilkinson 
for so kindly acting as Assistant Secretary for 1900-1-2; and Mr. Hubert Poole 
for help freely given in 1904 and 1905.

Vice-President, Selborne Society ; Hon. Sec., Field Club 
and Selborne Saturday Afternoons, 1899-1905. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Mrs. Lacy. — The plant is Scorpiums sulcata L., a native of Spain and 
Portugal and, as you say, one of the J.eguminosic. Few genera in that Order 
have simple leaves and the characteristic pod in these plants is one of those 
supposed to be mistaken by birds for caterpillars or centipedes. It is certainly an 
unusual weed for a Surrey garden.
