since they were due at Risbury camp in eight minutes, and had haK-a-mile at 

 least to get there. On went the Club straight for the camp, and crossing the 

 brook with its deep banks, telling of torrents now and again, taking the mill 

 stream at a flying leap and ascending the glacis towards the sally-port on the 

 western side, where the first five members that arrived there stretched themselves 

 on the grass and began the business of the meeting forthwith. The following 

 gentlemen having been proposed at the last meeting were successively elected :— 

 J. M. Herbert, Esq., Kocklands, Ross; E. S. Hutchinson, Esq., Longworth ; 

 Arthur Hutchinson, Esq., Hagley Park; Rev. J. Gregory Smith, Tedstone 

 Delamere; Lilburn Rosher, Esq., Trewyn, Abergavenny; F. R. Kempson, 

 Esq., Hereford; John Lambe, Esq., Hereford ; Alfred Salwey, Esq., Moor Park, 

 Ludlow; "William Aston, Esq., Hereford; John Lambe, Esq., Hereford; Rev. 

 A. G. Jones, Hereford ; W. H. Warner, Esq., Ross ; Rev. David George, 

 Trelough. 



Five other gentlemen were next duly proposed and seconded as members. 



The President then said that he had had a deputation from the Cardiff 

 NaturaUsts' Society, with a request that they might be allowed to join our next 

 meeting at the Crumlin Viaduct. The Cardiff society was only just formed, 

 and Mr. Adams, the President, was a member of the Woolhope Club. This 

 reequest was at once very cordiaUy agreed to, and it was left with the President 

 to obtain a list of the members of the Cardiff Society, that an invitation 

 might be sent to each of them. 



By this time all the members had arrived, and the camp was 

 entered. From the northern comer of the entrenchment a brief description 

 was given of this most complete and interesting castrametation. It surpasses 

 all other Herefordshire camps, with the exception of the Beacon, in the 

 perfection of its lines, the extent of eight acres enclosed, and in the amount of 

 labour which had been expended upon the fortifications.— Mr. Flavell Edmunds 

 could not be present to read his paper in the field. It was read in the evening, 

 and it is only necessary therefore to say now, how much it was to be regretted that 

 this camp should have been so concealed, and spoilt, by the trees planted upon 

 and around it. If the whole camp had been left as a grazing pasture it would 

 have formed one of the most interesting places in the county, and would have had 

 visitors to it from all parts, notwithstanding the remoteness of the district in 

 which it is placed. 



The approximate height of this spot was ascertained to be 160 feet above 

 the Ford-bridge Station by Mr. Lee's aneroid barometer. 



The whole of the party then went through the chief entrance on the

 exercise-ground or place (Tarmes, gathering as they went the Saxafraga 

 granulata, and the pretty columbine of the cottage garden, AquiUgia vulgaHs.
