Owing to the attractions of the Fungi the Phanerogamia were but little
noticed, the only plant gathered worth recording being Gnaphalium sylva-
ticum, which was growing plentifully in the open gravelly ground near
Monk Wood. Mr. Saville Kent was with us, ready to afford information
to the student of minute life in the searching of ponds and ditches, but
no report of captures has reached us. Mr. Kent found some forms of the
dubious Myxomycetes, concerning the fungoid or infusorial nature of
which so much discussion has recently taken place.
As dusk began to fall the large party made towards the "Crown"
Hotel, Loughton; everyone being furnished with ample stores of speci-
mens. Arrived at the Inn, the bags and boxes were carefully emptied and
the Fungi ranged in due order in the room set apart for the exhibition,
and then came the usual Club tea.
After tea the 20th Ordinary Meeting of the Club was held, the
President in the Chair.
