MEETING AT MALVERN, 



September 12th, 1866. 



An extra field meeting was held at Malvern on \Yednosday, September 

 12tb, on the Invitation of the Malvern Club, to meet also the members of 

 the Cotteswold and Worcestershire Clubs ; in short, it was a grand gathering 

 of Naturalists, and oddly enough, nothing could be better adapted to make it 

 pass off well than the two or thi-ee hours rain which fell in the morning, for 

 it kept all the members together in the spacious winter promenade of Towns- 

 hand House, where they first met, in full enjoyment of all that pleasant free- 

 masonry of science, which is ever the charming characteristic of Field Clubs. 



The Cotteswold Club was represented by the President, Sir W. V. Guise, 

 Bart. ; Dr. Wright, of Cheltenh-am ; the Hevs. T. Lee "Warner, F. Smythe, 

 R. Hep worth, and F. Bay ley ; Dr. Wilton, of Gloucester ; and Messrs. Beach, 

 Moden, Nash, Pearce, and Playne. 



The Malvern members i^rsseut were the Eev. W. S. Symonda, F.G.S., 

 President ; Doctors Grindrod, Weir, and Williams ; Professor Morris, London ; 

 the Kevs. G. Munn, H. Housman, T. Smythe, and R. P. Hill, the honorary 

 secretary ; with Messrs. Ballard, Clark, Kent, Greaves, David Griffiths, and 

 Turner. 



The Worcestershire Club was led by Edwin Lees, Esq., F.LS., Vice- 

 President ; Doctors Fraser and Sherlock ; Alderman Fiikins ; iilessrs. Burgess, 

 Chaplin, Pouting, Pow, Rennick, Wilson, and Walker; with Dr. Harvey B. 

 HoU, the honorary secretary ; and it is but right to add that the higher duties 

 connected with the Musical Festival then going on at Worcester, prevented 

 many other members of this club froni|,attending.

 members were in great force. The President, Dr. Bull ; the Vice-presidents, 

 Dr. Mc CuUough and E. Y. Steele, Esq. ; Honorary Members, Henry Beckett,
