Journal of Proceedings. 



Votes of thanks were passed to Mr. Worthington Hniith for his gift of 

 the series of "flakes" to the Museum, and to Mr. Meldola for his 

 interesting impromptu lecture. The meeting then resolved itself into the 

 usual Conversazione, at which the Kev. F. A. Walker sent for exhibition 

 some specimens of "banded flints" from the chalk formation at Christ- 

 church, Hants ; and Mr. R. M. Christy sent some flint implements, 

 including eight from Canada, one from the Bartlow Hills, three more or 

 less perfect implements from Cissbury, one from South Downs, and a 

 number of curious flint chips from Cissbury Hill, where similar ones may 

 be obtained by the bushel; also a few gun-flints, to show that the 

 manufacture of flint had lasted to these days.

Report on the Club's Exploration of Ambresbury Banks, 



Epping Forest. 



At the Field Meeting held on July 3rd, 1880, the President suggested 

 that the scientific exploration of the two ancient earth-works, known as 

 Ambresbury Banks and the Loughton Camp, would be a fitting and 

 worthy task for the Club to undertake. The suggestion was warmly 

 received by the members present, and General Pitt-Rivers very readily 

 promised his valuable aid and advice in the matter. As detailed in the 

 Report of the Ordinary Meeting on October 30th, 1880, permission to 

 make the necessary excavations was granted to the Club by the Epping 

 Forest Committee of the Corporation of London, and under date October 

 12th a circular to the members was issued by the Honorary Secretary, 

 making a strong appeal for funds to carry on the works, the cost of which 

 would be too great to be defrayed out of the ordinary income of the 

 Society. In response to that appeal the following sums were subscribed 

 by the members of the Club named : —
