Andrew Johnston (Chairman of the Essex County Council), and 
Mr. R. Miller Christy (President of the Essex Field Club’

delivered his Presidential Address (see page 142), and ex.

then taken to the Earl’s Path, and the walk was com- 
menced through Black Bushes and Debden slade to Loughton 
Camp, which the President informed the members was pre- 
Roman, being of very early British origin. Next a traverse was 
taken through a further portion of Little Monk Wood which 
had not been touched on the previous day, and this part of the 
Forest was carefully worked back to the King’s Oak Hotel at 
High Beach, from whence the members were conveyed to the 
headquarters. No fungus of especial interest was gathered dur- 
ing the day’s foray. In the evening at 8.30 at the headquarters

species of British Lycoperda in the field,” (see p. 157), illus- 
trated by several drawings by Mrs. Carleton Rea ; and also made

drawing and original specimens of Scleroderris bacilli fera 
(Karst.) Sacc. found on dead branches of Silver Fir by Mr. 
MacIntosh at Dunkeld, an addition to the British list. He also 
read a short note on “ Ozonium auricomum Link” (see p. 166), 
which was followed by a discussion. Finally the paper on “ How

was ordered to be at once issued to the members as a pamphlet.
