perpendicular height. The beds are very much tilted up here, the angle being 

 about 45 degrees. The fossils here are much larger than in Newton Lane, but 

 not so numerous. 



The day's work having terminated, Mr. Salter left on his way to Cheltenham, 

 and the remainder of the party proceeded to Downfield, the hospitable mainsion 

 of Henry Miles, Esq., where they were .entertained at dinner. 



The botanical part of the day's exploration was interesting, although it did 

 not issue in the discovery of many fresh plants. The tract of ground examined 

 being small, the list of plants was necessarily small also ; still it is a step in 

 advance to have formed a catalogue (however small) of the species in the Kington 

 district of our county. The best plant of the day gathered within the limits ol 

 our county was Moenchia erecta, hitherto our only Herefordshire locality for 

 which was the Malvern HUls. An Agritnonia also was gathered, which may 

 possibly turn out to be ^. odorata, or, if not, is a connecting link between it and 

 A. Eupatorium. The other plants were only the common ones of the county. 



The next Field Meeting of the Club will take place early in September, at 

 Abergavenny. It is proposed to examine the Coal districts of South Wales at 

 the same time.
