THE ESSEX NATURALIST.
Hydnum coralloides was again found in its former station at Fair-
mead.
The Morning Party started from Theydon Bois station at 11.3 o'clock
and proceeded across the Green and along the Loughton Lane to Gaunt
Wood, which was traversed by kind invitation of our Member, Mr. Gerald
Buxton, J.P., as were also the grounds of Birch Hall, the Forest being entered
at a point between Theydon and Debden Green. From here, after an
al fresco lunch, the route taken was via Broadstrood, Great Monk Wood
and the Wake Valley, to the headquarters, the Roserville Retreat at
Highbeach.
The afternoon Party assembled at Loughton Station at 2.34 o'clock,
and made its shorter way via Staples Pond, Debden Slade, and the "Robin
Hood," to Highbeach.
The specimens brought in by the collectors were named by the
referees, who were:—
Miss A. Lorrain Smith, F.L.S.

Tea was taken at 5 o'clock, after which a short formal Meeting (the
506th) of the Club was held, the President in the Chair.
Mr. Gilbert W. Morrison, of "Starling Lodge," Buckhurst Hill.
was elected a Member, and nominations of three candidates for member-
ship were read out.
Brief reports on the specimens found during the day were made by each
of the Referees in turn, and the thanks of the Meeting were accorded
to them for their services: the party then made its way along the dark
Forest roads to Loughton and Chingford stations, homeward bound,
