XXli REPORT. 
A winter general meeting of the Society was held in March, 
when Mr. Heath read a paper upon the “ Pleistocene Mammalia 
of Derbyshire ;’ and the Rey. William Hope one upon “ Derby 
in 1781 as compared with Derby in 1881.” Both these papers 
appear in another part of the journal. 
The first expedition of the Society for the past year was held 
on the 28th of May, to Crich and Winfield. The party, in 
number about eighty, left Derby by the 1.35 p.m. train for 
Whatstandwell, from which station they drove or walked to Crich 
Church, where they were received by the Rev. H. Wright 
(curate), and Mr. Greenhough. Mr. Greenhough conducted the 
party over the church, and read a paper descriptive of its archi- 
tectural and antiquarian features, pointing out the various points 
of interest. The party then walked to Winfield Manor. Owing 
to the unavoidable absence, at the last moment, of the Rev. 
J. Charles Cox, who was to have read a paper, Mr. J. D. 
Leader, F.S.A., kindly delivered an impromptu address upon 
the historical associations of the Manor House. Tea was taken 
at the Manor Hotel, after which the Church of South Winfield 
was visited on the way to Winfield station, whence the party 
returned to Derby, the Midland Railway Company having 
kindly sent the special saloon carriages round from the other 
line. 
The next expedition was held on August the 6th, to Bolsover 
and Hardwick. The party, in number about eighty, left Derby 
by the 10.23 train for Chesterfield. The Church and the 
Stephenson Hall were first inspected ; the party then lunched at 
the Station Hotel, after which they proceeded in breaks to 
Bolsover Castle, which was thrown open to their inspection by 
Mrs. Hamilton Gray. The church was next visited, and its 
various objects of interest pointed out and explained by the 
Vicar, the Rev. T. C. Hills. The party then drove to Hardwick, 
which was thrown open to their inspection by permission of the 
Marquis of Hartington. 
The following interesting paper was then read by the Rev. 
H. Cottingham, R.D., vicar of Heath, who kindly piloted the
