These beds appear to thin out rapidly along the strike to the 

 S.W. Mr Williams, who measured this portion on the Somer- 

 setshire side of the river, makes the total thickness from the 

 bone bed to the first red marl bed 86 feet, while this section 

 gives 115 feet. The railway cutting was made narrow at first, 

 and then cut back about 12 feet. In this distance the thickness 

 of the beds, Nos. 1 to 48, increased from 52 feet 6 inches to 57 

 feet 4 inches. 



In reference to the former part of the address, the President 

 brought forward the following motion : — 



' That two excursions be made every three weeks, for the pur- 

 pose of studying Natural History, open to the whole school. A 

 list of those joining each excursion to be taken by the member 

 of the College who is highest in the school, such lists to be 

 entered in a book kept for that purpose by the Secretary. That 

 all members below sixth form of the Society, or who have not 

 otherwise taken an active part in the business of the Society, be 

 obliged to attend two excursions in every term, under penalty 

 of surrendering their places in the Society to more qualified 

 candidates. Notice of excursions to be given by the President.' 



P. Ogle proposed, and W. Wood seconded, that each clause of 

 the motion be put to the meeting separately. This was carried, 

 and the President proposed ' That two excursions be made every 

 three weeks for the purpose of studying Natural History.' This 

 was seconded by D. Pearce, and carried. 



Secondly, ' That members of the College not in the Society be 

 allowed to attend, permission having been obtained from the 

 President.' This was seconded by J. Allen, and carried.
