NATURE NOTES 
Septeinber 9. — The Epping ramble had to be abandoned on account of the 
rain. 
September 16. — A party of twenty-five joined Mr. Miihlberg in the now 
familiar ramble from Woldingham .Station to Titsey Hill and Oxted. On 
the way alongside the noble sweep ol Maiden Park were noticed several of 
the superb Shire Horses, for the breeding of which Mr. Greenwell is renowned. 
Woldingham Churchyard was next visited, and the walk continued along 
the ancient Pilgrims’ Way, from which the view is magnificent. The usual 
autumnal plants were again recognised, including Atropa Belladonna in its 
haunt on Botley Hill. The weather was perfect and permitted the enjoyment 
of an early al fresco tea. The day ended happily by the party arriving at Oxted 
Station in time for the 6.30 train. 
September 23. — Woldingham Station was again the rendezvous for about a 
dozen Members of the Field Club. The wind blew cold on the Woldingham 
heights and the rain threatened but did not fall ; so that it was a fine afternoon 
for walking. The quantity and colour of the Haws was much commented 
upon, .some of the trees noticed being crimson and heavy with the masses of 
fruit. The time of the abundance of flowers was over ; only a few sprays of 
honeysuckle, eyebright, heather, and hair-bell, trails of black bryony in fine 
foliage and fruit, and a late cluster of fine bramble flowers, from a bush on 
which blackberiies were also to be had, being noticed. The way led by hill 
and dale to Worms Heath and some exceedingly pretty valley views were 
noticed along the path. Tea was furnished in the usual satisfactoiy manner at 
“ The Bull ” on Chelsham Common ; and then some returned early, while others 
enjoyed a most delightful saunter through the twilight and starlight along the 
lovely valley path back to Woldingham.
