 which the Annual Subscriptions shall in future be payable. The subscription 

 will consequently be payable in future at the National Provincial Bank, on the 

 ist of May in each year for the year then ensumg. 



The subject of the Flora of Herefordshire having been brought up by a 

 question, it was stated that the Rev. W. H. Purchas (who had kindly under- 

 taken the work) had come to the conclusion that it would be desirable to pubUsh 

 the Flora in parts, so as to allow of additions being made in the course of pub- 

 lication ; and that the first portion is now in progress. 



Some conversation ensued upon the subject of the preparation of a list of 

 fossils found in the district of the Club, including the necessary information as 

 to strata and locality, but the matter was allowed to stand over to the next 

 Field Meeting. 



Col. Colvin was unanimously requested to undertake the Presidency of the 

 Club for the ensuing year.

 who were requested to continue their valuable services.
