Field Meetings.—Six field meetings were held during the summer, all
of which were very successfully carried out and well attended. On May
19th the members were invited by Sir Fowell Buxton to visit him at
Warlies Park, and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent. On June 2Sth
the Club was most hospitably entertained, in company with the Hertford-
shire Natural History Society, at Easneye Park, Ware, by Mr. and Mrs.
Thoma3 Fowell Buxton. On June 15th and 16th a two days' meeting
was held at Grays for the purpose of exploring the Deneholes in Hang-
man's Wood, the Geologists' Association joining in the excursion, and
bearing part of the expenses. On July 14th an informal meeting was
held at Boxhill, in conjunction with the members of the Richmond
Athenaeum. The Fourth Annual Cryptogamic Meeting took place on
September 29th, and was very numerously attended, despite the most
unfavourable weather. An exhibition of specimens of Fungi, Mosses,
Algae, Flowering Plants, with microscopes, and botanical drawings and
diagrams, was held in the evening at the Roebuck Inn, Buckhurst Hill.
The success of this experimental exhibition emboldens the Council to
continue and extend the same, and on Friday and Saturday, October 3rd
and 4th, 1884, an exhibition of Fungi and other botanical objects will be
held at the "Roebuck" rooms, under the superintendence of many of our
best known botanical members, in connection with a two days' " Fungus
Foray " in Epping Forest. The Council has great pleasure in gratefully
acknowledging aid in various ways in conducting the field meetings, given
by the following gentlemen :—Professor Boulger, Mr. J. Britten, Mr. Alfred
Fowell Buxton, Mr. W. Cole, Dr. Cooke, Lieutenant Croft, Mr. J. English,
