Hyett's notes of the heights of many points of the Cotswold 

 Hills determined by the aneroid barometer, which latter is in- 

 cluded in the present number of our Transactions. 



William Vernon Guise, Esq. of Elmore Court, and William 

 Henry Hyett, Esq. of Painswick House, were proposed and 

 seconded as Members ; and this concluded one of the most in- 

 teresting and successful meetings of the many which the Club 

 have enjoyed together. 



Like all bodies, and even these corporeal frames of ours, we 

 have suffered the loss of some elements, whilst others have been 

 added to the Club, during the past year. 



Mr. Thomas Niblet being abroad, and Mr. Hamilton having 

 removed from the district, have expressed their desire to with- 

 draw their names ; whilst we have to lament the loss by death 

 of the Rev. Mr. Streeton and of Mr. Meyrick of Cirencester. 

 On the other hand, we have added to our body the Rev. Peter 

 Bellinger Brodie, Mr. Nevil Story Maskelyne, and the Rev. 

 Edwin Meyrick. 



With this account of our proceedings, at which I have been pre- 

 vented from being present so frequently as I hope to be allowed 

 to be another year, I bid you adieu, trusting that, though the 

 world at large may be but little the wiser for our proceedings, 

 we may have found, and shall ever find, ourselves wiser and 

 better for our meetings, and always realize the saying of our 

 great poet, by finding " books in the running brooks," " sermons 

 in stones, and good in every thing."
